View Full Version : Twilight Zone marathon on Sci-Fi...
Sandy G 07-03-2008, 05:04 PM Today & tomorrow. For the younger AKers, this is your chance to see one of the finest series ever to run on network TV. It ran from 1959-64, so its in black & white, & you will see some of Hollywood's finest as they looked when they just started out & were young pups..
roadie1 07-03-2008, 05:32 PM Most excellent, thanks for the heads up. During regular programming in my area through the week it's Twilight Zone then the X-Files in the wee hours of the morning.
I'm a night owl and love it! Have a safe and happy 4th!.............R1:music::yes:
RussinOhio 07-03-2008, 09:36 PM Amen to that:thmbsp:
I love the old classic "Zone". I get into the marathon every time they run it. Rod Serling was a genius and he died way too young.

Sandy G 07-03-2008, 09:41 PM One of my faves was on at suppertime tonite-"Death's head Revisited"- Oscar Beregi made an EXCELLENT Nazi- and Joseph Schildkraut made an equally convincing Dachau inmate.
RussinOhio 07-03-2008, 10:21 PM One of my age old favorites from when I was a kid...."The Little People"
Starred Claude Akins as an astronuat when he and his fellow astronuat discover a planet populated with tiny people smaller than ants. Akins partner plays a miserable dude until he decides to "play God" to the little people by stomping on them until they build a statue in his likeness.
...of course, there is an ironic twist to the story which I won't give away in case some of ya'll have'nt seen it.

jbrainey 07-03-2008, 10:30 PM Well I know what I will be watching ALL night tonight. Thanks Sandy.
Rat44 07-03-2008, 10:47 PM Always liked the one with Charles Bronson and Elizabeth Montgomery.
ablethevoice 07-03-2008, 10:54 PM I love TZ too, but on Sci-Fi its more like a commercial marathon interrupted with short clips of the show...
Sandy G 07-04-2008, 06:35 AM Always liked the one with Charles Bronson and Elizabeth Montgomery.
"Two"- Yeah, that was another good one. Another couple I liked were "A Hundred Yards Over the Rim", where California settlers from 1847 find themselves in 1961, & "Eye of the Beholder", where a VERY young Donna Douglas-Ellie May Clampett- has surgery to improve her looks...
AnalogDigit 07-04-2008, 01:24 PM Sorry Wrong Number and The Invaders was good also. Over in Chicago they have the radio version of the Twilight Zone on WGN radio 720 at midnight on Sunday. They show the Twilight Zone every night on MeTV channel 23.

Gregoire 07-08-2008, 08:42 PM The single creepiest TV ep evar! Telly Savalas in "Living Doll"
"my name is Talky Tina, and I don't think I like you"
I STILL get the creeps when I even THINK about this episode. it was remade later for Night Gallery
Sandy G 07-08-2008, 08:51 PM The voice of Talky Tina was June Foray, a veteran voice actress. IIRC, she was Rocky on "Rocky & Bullwinkle". "My name is Talky Tina an' I'm gonna KILL you...."

jonman 07-09-2008, 05:02 AM I always look forward the the one with Billy Mummy. "You're a bad a man, you're a very Bad man." I'm gonna wish you to the corn patch.

Ever read Jerome Bixby's original story? Goes by the same title ("It's A Good Life"). It can be found in the Science Fiction Hall Of Fame Vol 1 (edited by Robert Silverburg). That book was long out of print, but was recently re-released after many years of only being able to find it used. I got a new copy from Amazon for 14 bucks. Should be on the shelves of most of the Big Box bookstores by now.
