Twilight zone was always one of my favorites growing up. I still watch it on occasion. My father spent 41-45 in the Phillipines fighting on the Jap islands. He was NOT a fan of the Japanese most of his life. Toward his last years he met a Japanese WW2 soldier about his age and they became friends and used to have coffee together.

Loved it as a kid. Still catch some of it when the Sci-Fi channel has the Twilight Zone Marathon. It's amazing how many stars were on that show before they became famous. I always wondered how Mr. Serling's career would have gone had he not died too young, (Age 50 IIRC) after chain smoking most of his adult life. Anyone notice all the different shots of Rod with a cigarette in that video link? Years ago I read a biography of him that claimed the only time he wasn't smoking was when he was asleep. It's a shame to see such talent cut short too soon. The production company for the Twilight Zone was called "Cayuga Productions", and is shown in the show's credits. Named after Cayuga Lake in the Finger Lakes region of NY state, where Rod had a summer home. He's buried near there in Interlaken, NY between Cayuga and Seneca lakes.
I loved that show. I was an 11 year old kid in 1962, The Twilight Zone came on on Friday nights. My brothers and I a few neighborhood kids would be over at our house, and we would be glued to the tube, show came on about 9pm. The show came on with the monkey tearing up the airplane wing, we were so creeped out we could barely sleep that night.
On the following Monday, all the boys at school talked about the Twilight Zone episode from Friday. Most of the girls didn't watch it. Today it still stands as one of the best shows ever put on tv. Of course, your competition today is garbage like The Batchelorette, nobody is likely to surpass The Twilight Zone any time soon.

Don’t remember details except must have been 7 or 8 years old and the grandparents were baby sitting myself and my sibs. My grand dad was watching the Twilight Zone — only thing I remember was the climax scene wherein there was this disembodied hand crawling across the floor. I have never been more creeped out since. Can still recall it.
The WW1 fighter plane that landed in France in 1962
The man who got off the train in Willoughby
One named "Incident at Owl Creek Bridge." A Civil War soldier is hanged. Right as they drop him, the rope breaks, he lands in Owl Creek unharmed, swims away whith all the Yankees firing at him, gets into the woods unharmed, and makes it 400 miles to his house where he is greeted by his wife. About that time, he realizes it is all a dream, and the rope didn't break, and he really is dead.
The old granny hiding in her apartment in the basement of the condemned building, and she lets a nice policeman, Robert Redford in to comfort her. He seems like such a nice young man, too late, she realizes that he is the Death Angel.
Oh, let me not forget, the 737 flying from France to New York, they break the time barrier, and when they look down at Manhattan, instead of Idelwild Airport, they see a Tyrannosaurus Rex! Good Lord us boys at school talked about that one for a month! Still sends chills up my spine.
I dvr them all ,then scan for one I have not seen.... pretty sure I seen them all , I do save a few that hit home.... to serve man, the coon hunting one with the old man and his dog ... the one where a small town girl makes it big and heads home to see family etc..big storm gets the plane ...
Agnes Moorehead as the lady who finds a little flying saucer in her attic, then battles and finally stomps the little spacemen. Then the camera shows the saucer has a U.S. flag on it.
Billy Mumy as the little boy who wishes people that piss him off “into the cornfield…”
