Is "Time Enough at Last" the one where Burgess Meredith survives a disaster and have all the time to read and then breaks his glasses? I also like the one with the tumble weeds, or was that Outer Limits>
Yup that's the one. Gotta just like it for entertainment purposes only, because one has to wonder why he dosen't just look around for another pair of specs. There's got to be a million of them just laying around.

I remember something about tumble weeds, but it escapes me.

Oh - I have to rack my brain for that. I recorded a bunch yesterday, so I'll watch tonight and let you know. There's the one I mentioned yesterday where the kids jump in a lake and go stay with some woman under the water - but I'm not sure that's real or if I dreamed it. Does it sound familiar to ya'll?
That one's real, and a good one!

I can't pick out just one!!! I even like the one that's almost completely silent (except for the screaming and great instrumental score) of an old woman invaded by a martian (tiny tin robot toy!)...Not high on my list, but an alright one!

Yeah, I know what you mean, but the first time I saw it it killed me.

Charles Vermont? Ring any bells...or is that The Outer Limits?
There's a movie starring Martin Landau titled Welcome Home, Johnny Bristol, about a prisoner of war who had been brainwashed and who, upon returning to the States, can only remember one thing about himself, that he was born and raised in a town called Charles, Vermont.

Yeah...I think I saw something about that when I was looking for evidence of what I remembered. I should look for a pic of Martin Landau. What I recall about the tv-show/movie? is the actor...amnesia, like I said...and him going to these people for assistance in recalling who he is/was...he is older in the 'now'...and...ummm, memory here, but seems like...his mother maybe...was assaulted...or maybe it was both parents...at Charles and Vermont, the intersection. I think the last clip of the show was that signpost...Charles/Vermont. Thought it was curious that there is another show/movie that makes use of Charles/Vermont.

...weird...I just search-engined Martin Landau...and he is the actor of the show I remember. I don't get it...I know I remember seeing the street sign...a city neighborhood...brownstones...multiple-level housing...opened windows...screaming in the street...nobody coming to help.

cue the Twilight Zone soundtrack.

Yes, that's a Twilight Zone ep, titled "The Bewitchin' Pool".

My all time fave is "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street", followed by "To Serve Man".

Do you remember the street signs? Camera looking up at an angle..."Charles" and "Vermont"? He thought that was his name, too? And he'd ask the same people who ignored the cries for help, ask them if they remember him, Charles Vermont? And he remembered those names because that is the intersection where the crime occurred.
