I haven't seen it listed (though I didn't look at all of the comments), but "Long Live Walter Jamieson" was one I cannot forget. It was about two college professors; one teaching history, the other teaching chemistry. The latter notices the former hasn't aged in the 12 years they have known one another. The former confesses that he has lived for thousands of years. The latter comments how lucky he must be, because he has been able to accumulate so much knowledge. The former tells him that his life has been horrible because he keeps seeing loved ones grow old and die. I saw it as a child, and didn't think much about it. Until fifty years later, when my father was over 90 years old, all but one of his friends had died, and he was very depressed about it. I connected the dots.

My favorite was the Donald Pleasence story "A Changing of the Guard" about an aging professor who is forced to retire and begins to think his life has been a waste. It is haunting and touching and most of all thought provoking.

That one is great for extolling virtues of duty, honor, and sacrifice. The part where his past students as ghosts stand up and tell him what he did for them as their professor to serve with honor was the part that really got me.

A great episode! Many of his former students, inspired by him to do great deeds, showed up to see him off into retirement, and convince him his life, as an instructor, hadn't been in vain! A really great, dare I say it... heartwarming episode. AND, I believe, it was written by Serling himself. A stand out episode, on a stand out series!

Yes indeed that was a masterpiece when the ghosts of his former students told of the great virtues that he taught them. A really great lesson how even though you may feel useless and lonely, you had a positive impact on others in ways you don't know. Along the same lines as "It's a wonderful life"

No love for "Mirror Image," which I thought was one of the creepiest episodes ever?!? The first few minutes of that episode is spent thinking Vera Miles is suffering some sort of mental breakdown. Then it slowly becomes apparent, that two parallel worlds have converged inside a small bus depot on a dark stormy night. (Spoiler Alert) Finally, we're presented with the reality that exact counterparts from that other dimension are taking the place of people in OUR world. But why must they push us aside to survive? Are they EVIL? The answer is only hinted at in the very last scene. C-R-E-E-P-Y! All in all, though, yours is a much better list than the one the dopes at WatchMojo put together!

"The monsters are due on maple street" is a great episode and also extremely true in the way we as humans are easily swayed in our actions. I just bought the boxed set of The Twilight zone, and it was money well spent. Such a creative and groundbreaking series years ahead of its time. Rod Serling is a criminally underrated writer as well.

Two more fun facts for you: June Foray also voiced the crying of the little girl in the episode "Little Girl Lost" and voiced the little girl in the last episode of the entire series, "The Bewitchin' Pool," the latter because the studio execs believed that the actress playing the little girl's southern accent was too thick for most people to understand. That second episode in particular is really strange, with what is quite clearly the voice of Rocky the Flying Squirrel coming from a little girl! Check it out.

From Serling interviews, his two favorite episodes were "The Invaders" so well acted by Moorhead, though regretted the budget didn't allow for better effects on the spacemen, and "Time Enough at Last" written by Serling himself -an irony with the great sets already available and great acting. Serling wrote 92 of the 156 episodes; he stated writing was cathartic for him after his experience in WW2. (BTW -Forbidden Planet was from 1956 not 59, and Meredith was in 4 episodes.) Suggest Syfy Wire watch these interviews for more insight. Good overview. Serling deserves the highest respect; his passion for social justice, personal understanding and deeper consciousness of the human condition bleeds through each of his episodes -as you show on the powerful closing statement in Monsters Due on Maple St - indicative of how he influenced the world for the better and why these have become enduring classics.

I actually think, overall, that the episode of The Outer Limits (the original series) stand the test of time better than those of the Twilight Zone. I think that's because the TZ episodes are basically twist-ending shorts while the OL episodes were actual adventures. There were, of course, clunkers in both series, but even today, the OL episodes "O.B.I.T." and "The Architects of Fear" and "The Guests" and "Don't Open Till Doomsday" and "Corpus Earthling" are eminently watchable, along with numerous others. I can't at the moment think of more than an couple of TZ episodes that I'd _like_ to re-see.

In different phases of our lives, we can appreciate the show in new ways.
