The one where the girl gets plastic surgery that goes horribly wrong was on (they take the bandages off and shes normal yet everyone else looks like a pig-face) Haha that show is so corny and it seems like William Shatner is in every other one? Still cool though. Top

Brian Joined: Feb 25, 2006 Posts: 19308 Des Moines, Iowa, USA	Posted on Jun 22 2007 08:39 AM I recall TBS or some cable station running a marathon and they showed a really rare hour long episode about this mysterious guy (always shown in the dark) counseling a troubled dude, eventually and slowly turning him into the leader of a hate group....and in the end the mysterious guy who was always in the shadows was revealed to be...dum dum dum daaaaa.....Adolf Hitler...! Anyone else see that? It was actually done very well despite sounding corny as I type this. — Site dude - S3 Agent #202 Need help with the site?

And the song Out of Limits was obviously inspired by the theme song, even though it seems to be named after a similar TV show from the time: The Outer Limits. — Site dude - S3 Agent #202 Need help with the site?

What's that episode called where the guy loves to read and then his glasses break at the end and he can't see to do so? I realize that that could have been typed better. Forgive me. This one is 'Time Enough At Last'. Classic Twilight Zone. The TomorrowMen actually have a song named after this episode. — Science friction burns my fingers. Top
kick_the_reverb Joined: Feb 26, 2006 Posts: 1338 Escondido, CA	Posted on Jun 22 2007 01:08 PM One of the TV best shows ever in my opinion...and you can see so many well known actors had roles in it in their younger days. Actually, the first time I was exposed to TWZ was in the late 80's when the Israeli TV showed the new show. Then in the realy 90's Israel got cable, and they had a channel that would show the original late at night. I watched almost all the episodes. Also, I remember that one of my buddies invited my wife and I to a TWZ marathon on Laser Disc at his place...fun. Trivia - The Astroglides' "Nervous Man in a $4 Room" was inspired by TWZ (and not by "Out of Limits" as Phil Dirt). http://www.theastroglides.com/mp3/Astroglides-NervousManIna$4Room.mp3 (warning - not surf...it's "Instru-Metal") It was a development of my noodling from the days I started to play guitar. The name is taken from a TWZ episode. We looked at all the episode names until we found one that sounded cool as a song name. The episode is not the best, but all the real good ones have names that didn't sound right as song names. — The Scimitars Top
DannySnyder Joined: Mar 02, 2006 Posts: 11058 Berkeley, CA	Posted on Jun 22 2007 02:33 PM tonybologna This one is 'Time Enough At Last'. Classic Twilight Zone. The TomorrowMen actually have a song named after this episode. That's right, and my old band - The Sardonics - had a song named after my favorite episode 'Next Stop Willoughby'. That was the one where the stressed out NYC ad man fell asleep on the train every night home and woke up in 1899. One needs to be a bit of a romantic anachronist to enjoy that episode, but hey we're playing music from 45 years ago so we qualify. — Danny Snyder "With great reverb comes great responsibility" - Uncle Leo Playing keys and guitar with Combo Tezeta Formerly a guitarist in The TomorrowMen and Meshugga Beach Party Latest surf project - Now That's What I Call SURF Top
outsides Joined: Jul 08, 2006 Posts: 460 NorCal	Posted on Jun 22 2007 03:00 PM Time Enough At Last (Burgess Meredith) and Next Stop Willoughby are also two of my faves. And it is great to see so many stars, A and B list on the show. But one of my favorite things is Rod Sterling's introductions and little moral evaluations at the end of each episode. And the lead in on each show. Classic! -outsides- Top
