December 31, 2008 - New Year's Eve


The Science Fiction Channel Annual Twilight Zone
Marathon is a New Year's tradition in this household.
We have grandchildren over to watch the ball drop.
We eat too many appetizers, including stuff from Knish Nosh.
Last year we had about fifteen people sleeping over. I can
only hope this year is less.

I bought this after riding on Orlando Disney's
Tower of Terror ride.
It is an invaluable resource for viewing
any classic TZ episode. You can watch many of the
episodes on the internet at CBS.COM.

My Top Ten:

WALKING DISTANCE
Season one, written by Rod Serling.
A theme of wistfulness for
simpler times.


A STOP AT WILLOUGHBY
Season one, written by Rod Serling.
Wistfulness with a bite.


NICK OF TIME
Season two, written by Richard Matheson.
More Psychological than scary.


EYE OF THE BEHOLDER
Season one, written by Rod Serling.
I remember crying after seeing this as a young
boy. I was that scared.

LIVING DOLL
Season Five, written by Charles Beaumont.
Talky Tina voiced by June Foray.
She also voiced Rocket J. Squirrel.

TIME ENOUGH AT LAST
