Poor Burgess in this one! haha,the poor guy,if you wear glasses,you had to feel for him,cause all the optometrists and eyeglasses are gone..finally,he can read to his heart's content,but..

The first time I saw that episode it really broke my heart. Had me thinkin' . . .some how I would have made me a pair of glasses.

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.

I don't remember details of the plot, but I do remember that last shot of the street signs at the intersection. I think that one shot made me store the movie to memory.

Oh, Lord, you just know Scott is going to be all over this one......

...that would explain the grunting and moaning now, wooden't it???.....

...I've mentioned a couple of my favorite episodes, but true confessions here?...I tuned in to hear Rod Serling...what a delivery, what a voice and an uber-creepy cool "I'm smokin' it coz I got it" kinda demeanor...

...and he wasn't a half-bad commercial huckster either...*sigh*...he REALLY was and is one of my broadcast heroes...

There's a lot of great ones. One I love is The Monsters are Due on Maple Street, where the town believes they've been invaded by aliens and start to turn on each other. Another one I think about is where there's a nuclear war scare, and one family has a bomb shelter and enough supplies for them to survive, but their neighbors didn't make one, so the neighbors start going crazy and try to break into the shelter. Then at the end, there was no nuclear attack, and the neighbors try to act like nothing happened, while the family is traumatized. To Serve Man and the one with the cafe where they think someone is an alien (I think that's Will The Real Martian Please Stand Up, been awhile) are classics. The one with a woman in a farmhouse fending off toy-sized invaders, only to find they are astronauts who think she's a giant.

Not sure if there's a spoiler tag on here for those people who haven't somehow seen the show (if they haven't, they need to stop being active and sit and watch some old TV reruns.)

Time Enough At Last makes me glad I'm near-sighted, not far-sighted.

Wasn't there one where a couple are taken and placed in an exhibit? Can't remember if the takers were aliens, or what...I think so. To put something in a spoiler, Ragan @Ragan you do it manually...without spaces: [ spoiler ] place text here [ /spoiler ]

... or how to stop the pictures from suddenly disappearing when you least expect it, after they've sat there a while.

The one with William Shatner on the plane.

I think he was in another episode where he and his girl stop at a cafe, have something to eat while being weirded out by the other diners, try to leave the town only to find out that they can't escape, that all the roads lead right back to the cafe. Anyone remember this one?

He was in one about a fortune telling machine. He was with a girl and his car breaks down and they have lunch at a restaurant. According to Wikipedia the episode was written by Richard Matheson who also wrote Nightmare at 20,000 Feet, which was the one with Shatner on the plane.
