An episode of Twilight Zone from 2 new years ago, the traditional marathon. I was amazed to see Buster Keaton in. I was unaware. Last year seeing Buddy Ebsen in an episode.

There's Twilight Zone Radio Drama Podcast. I like to listened to at work. Stacy Keach is the narrator, taking Rod Sterling's part. This version of podcast is much better only does story telling.
There's Twilight Zone Podcast which is more rambling about Twilight Zone rather than story telling.
I don't recommend this podcast.

Too bad California Adventure took away Tower of Terror.
Burgess Meredith plays the man who only wants to read books in "Time Enough at Last"
a famous episode. Wasn't till around 2017 I realized Burgess Meredith, played Penguin in the 1960's Batman TV Show, The Coach In Rocky, and Jack Lemmon's father In "Grumpy Old Men".

JR2e3 Our next adventure we have to somehow add The Twilight Zone to the mix
Didn’t know you were a fan like me
We had some fun times together in 2025
Can’t wait to see what this year brings .. 😘
ot many people pick The Twilight Zone as a comfort show, so I respect it. Sounds like a rainy-day, existential spiral… maybe sparked by a glass (or two) of wine. 😄
This is coming from someone whose comfort movies are Pride & Prejudice and Master and Commander. I relax by oscillating between social repression and naval combat.
Jonathan Winters was a great commedian known for both silly roles like Robin Williams' son on Mork and Mindy and his dry, straight faced but absolutely hilarious appearances on The Tonight Show.
One of his best performances was a dramatic part as the world's best pool player. I won't give any spoilers. If you've never seen it, do yourself a favor and check it out. Watch his facial expressions, body movement, and dialog delivery.
there is this show called Vegas.. it was on cbs, only lasted one season but the characters were all great.. if you like old school Vegas.. you might like this show
Comfort show: The original Mission: Impossible ('66-'73) series (though even the '88-'90 revival was my favorite show at the time too). So strategically set up missions, great suspense, fantastic theme music & unlike any show before or after, an everchanging montage of scenes that'll happen in that particular episode that'd change every week.
But I'm always happy to talk about Twilight Zone. I bought the box set so I've seen them all. Nerd that I am--but well, it's a way to remember which episodes were the best--I watch & give points for any plot development or dialogue, etc. that stands out & total them up.
What I find is that the "best TZ episode ever" people choose are predictable because they're mostly rated as such by their shock ending. That's not enough for me. if you don't have enough interesting things building up to the end, you won't get that many points
The one that ended up at #1 for me was Ring A Ding Girl. A self-important actress flies back to her small hometown & tries to get the people to come to a last minute show she'll put on. It's not to make her feel self-important, but to save their lives, because the plane she's in is about to crash land & kill many people if she doesn't get them out of the area.
(It's bizarre because she's in two places at the same time--on the plane coming over & already in town). In the end, after her sister receives news that she (the actress) was found dead in the plane crash, she walks out the door, holds her head up & walks into the rain and to her death.
That was sooo haunting. Anyone remember it?
What made it especially sad was the actress who played her ended up committing suicide in real life, as did Inger Stevens, who starred in another haunting episode--"The Hitchhiker" episode where no matter where she drives, there's a ominous looking man asking for a ride.
