Nearly 60 years later, I still clearly remember the shot of the broken stopwatch lying on the speckled linoleum floor.

I saw the A Kind of a Stopwatch episode as a kid. It has always stuck with me. Great to have YouTune to rewatch it so many years later.

For all of these numerous actors to hold so perfectly Still! That was amazing! That alone was talent and great directing. Couldn't find an eye blink or a chest breathe. Try that today.

The best show ever because it made you think. It was thought provoking.

The episode with the stop watch is the best. Saw that when it first aired on Twilight Zone. Can you imagine the fun you could have with that thing? LOL!

I would have loved to have been on the set when they were shooting this! just brilliant!

I love the twilight zone...

Rod Serling was a genius!

The punchline of the stopwatch episode is truly ... timeless! :-)

A time when true acting, was an art form.

Twilight Zone and Outer Limits not only provided the TV's equvilant of Edgar Alan Poe short-stories, but a good, common-sense, moral catechism as well.

Thank you for these clips. This is one of the shows that "started it all" for me long ago.

Created in a time when radio programs still existed with stories that really fired the imagination. Twilight Zone, Very limited in the FX but well made up for by the whole project. From Conception to Directions to reruns Twilight Zone was an incredible composition of talent in the whole Entertainment industry. Now with FX being so real I thought to myself What is the Future of Movies when everything can be a digital studio composition? after a while its so good to just kick back and enjoy a gift from the past that still has value for your mind and spirit.

_'Elegy',_ _'Still Valley'._ and _'A Kind Of A Stopwatch'._ Other _'The Twilight Zone'_ episodes with similar "character freeze" elements are _'The After Hours',_ _'Five Characters In Search Of An Exit',_ _'The Trade-Ins'_ and _'The New Exhibit'._

Oh Rod Serling was a Scientific Genius indeed. With the "Stopwatch" Episode he preceded TVO!😂🤣😂😉🎤📺B.W.

Hahahahha Rod Sterling was a GENIUS! Way ahead of his time. The guy's stopwatch broke and now, everyone and everything has stopped! He's all alone with all the money in the world.............................and it doesn't do him any good!

Elegy is one of my favorite TZ episodes. Rod Serling's imagination was boundless. I was 10 years-old when 'The Twilight Zone' first aired in 1959, and boy was I hooked!!! Every kid I knew was talking about 'this great new show'.

Getting locked outside of time with no way to get back would be scary.

He has plenty of time to learn how to fix a stopwatch .

One of the best good night shows ever

Twilight Zone, burned in my memory because of its themes. Miss Twilight Zone badly. Thanks for the upload.

A man with a magical watch that can stop time with the press of a button. Too bad he dropped it. Now he can't restart time, unless he gets the watch fixed... maybe. Great episode, Rod Serling was the man!

thumb up to all these original twillight zone . tq so much for uploading.

All this time I thought they were dead already but the old man actually killed them for landing there lol.i love twilight zone.

Great writing great stories and really great music nothing like it since or ever again

Happy New Year, everybody. The Twilight Zone marathon on SyFy starts early this year ! 12/30/15 at 7:00 Eastern time.

Twilight Zone does the mannequin challenge.

Hi - the stop watch episode reminds me of the later series in 1985 - A Little Peace and Quiet. Basically without giving it all away a house wife has the same power with a object Good viewing Regards George

I thought for sure I'd seen them all, and many times over, but this one right here I do not remember at all! So this is a treat.. Okay wait now I remember it..😊

Amazing how they got the actors to remain so still

Fast forward to 2021. The world currently is a bizarre "coronavirus lockdown" almost halfway there to Twilight Zones episode "Elegy." 👍😁

How i wish they show all the old episodes again. I love Twilight Zone!

They don't make them like Mr Sterling anymore..

The twilight zone and the rifleman were the best shows on tv.

I like the last one because it combines two of Serling's favorite tropes, the "nobody is moving" one with the 'ordinary guy suddenly starts losing his mind" one. If you took away all the episodes where some schmuck was too clever for his own good... you wouldn't' have many Twilight Zone episodes left.

fantastic thanks for the reminder

Beyond weird and bizarre. I love these old classic twilight zone flicks.

the music soundtrack was great

12:36 As dark as this is, this part always made me chuckle.

I always loved the space suits!

What fascinated me about this was all the actors who could hold a pose without moving. That is hard to do.

In the first episode clips, it turned out that the astronauts were on a planet ruled by an alien who thought mankind was too violent so whenever humans landed,he would kill them and pose them in their natural state. Sort of like his own menagerie

How I am starting to truly believe we have been being shown what is going to happen through Hollywood

Love Rod Sterling and his classic TV series, "The Twilight Zone." Also his "Night Gallery" series is quiet scary.

Fantastic shows !!!❤️🌟✨🌻

I realized that I had read most of the stories in science fiction books in high school. He was good at adapting to tv.

good video, childhood memories, enjoyed

I'm a huge fan. At least 2 things beckon me: 1st) Extremely hard to find a black actor/actress or character in the original series, following a strong American movies and TV shows trend, that has lasted for decades. 2nd) A long list of masterpieces, reflexive, slow and creeping, awesome scripts, and a fantastic B and W photograph. But, I have also to mention the incredibly good episodes from New Twilight Zone (1985), Wordplay and A Little Peace and Quiet. Greetings from Brazil.

Quality programs. I do miss them.

loved this show,still do.

The guy in the "Stopwatch" Episode was Richard Erdman, who later Guest Starred in a "Wings" Episode where he popped into "Sandpiper Air" claiming that his goal was to fly around the world. As in Magellan's Circumnavigation!😂😉🎤✈🌏📺B.W.

shades of 1959! the music I remember is "Fascination" which played on just about every radio station my parents would tune into in '59-when I was 4 yrs. old!-Tempus fugit!-Michael Brendan Dennehy@0840 hrs.,6 Feb.2018

Yea I remember that one right when you had it made something happened great episode of a brilliant show I watched every episode as a kid couldn't wait till it came on also the Outer Limits

In the "Glitches in the Matrix" stories there are a few about time freezing. In one, two children (around 10) are playing, when the lights go out in their apartment. They look out the window to see if the whole neighborhood is out and everything is frozen. There are frozen people who had been playing basketball. They were so freaked out they hid behind a couch until their mother got home, forty-five minutes later. She entered just as the lights went on again, and when they looked again, everything was normal. In another story (which also involved basketball), a guy was watching his friends play basketball, and everything froze, but only for a few seconds. His friends hadn't noticed anything.

The ones that work best are the ones where the camera keeps moving slightly so it hides any slight movements but still makes everything look stopped.

Remind me of the later in color "A little piece and quiet"

its amazing Mr sterling is a genius

Love this idea.

When I watched this the first time it showed, it REALLY creeped me out! The "beauty" queen, everyone "frozen" in movement, down to the dog. Unable to respond, a whole town, except one man.

Time freezes are just the observer himself that get frozen in his conscious time

Before za warudo, there's a stop watch!

A. C. Clark had similar short story, albeit with much darker ending ... "All the time in the world" I think.

The Twilight Zone is exqusit, simply the best tv show ever made, scarey, funny, sometimes very sad, beutifully writen and acted, interlectule and always burns into your memorie and makes you think. Paul Bacchus

Class programme loved them all this was viewing at it's best

Love it how the tick tock music theme (when he's robbing the bank) suddenly stops when the watch breaks.

It’s like this at my job right now with all the calendars on people’s desk still saying March 2020.

Poor guy just bricked his world. Excellent episode.

Wonderful.

if i had a watch that stopped time i would be the worlds best stage magician

I used to watch this in 8th grade and I and along with everyone else would hate these old outdated films and now that I’m 18 I finally understand and enjoy them oh the irony lol

So funny how they made the only homely woman win the beauty contest. The rest were gorgeous!

it took me 6 minutes of confusion to realize this is a compilation video and not an actual episode lol time to pass the dube

If TV still had shows with some substance instead of propaganda I still have cable TV!! Man I miss twilight zone!! Thank god for the Internet.... Twilight zone marathon coming up!!!

Truly, jotaro, this is the world

It's Not That The Entire World Is Slowing Down to a Stop But That He's On a Time OUT of It!

Someone's having a laugh 😂😂😂 Excellent 😂

another one of my best episodes.

Always enjoyed Cecil Kelloway. He was good in this as the cemetery caretaker but he was so mischievously good in ‘ I Married a Witch’.

You are now entering the Twilight Zone.

For anyone that's interested: "Elegy" "Still Valley" "A Kind of Stopwatch"

4:12 -- "Hey fellas, why don't you go check out the barn. I'll be along in, oh, say, 10 minutes?"

A GREAT television show....

You don't know how long it took me to find this video.

I love this episode

The first episode is call "Elegy" from season one, episode 20.

Stopwatch guy has all the resources in the world to try and teach himself how to fix that watch.

The voice that WAS Rod Serling. 🙏🏽🙏🏽

A clear inspiration for the British TV show Bernard's Watch

Ah, yes... Bill Cosby's legendary "Is she comatose yet?" snap at 4:12.

Time to call Mr. Potts. He,after all,gave that guy the stopwatch! So he alone might be able to fix it...

I always liked Jeff Morrow, his two best films in my most humble opinion, being "This Island Earth" circa 1955 and "KRONOS", 1957. Another film he unfortunately appears in, "The Giant Claw" had been an embarrassment to him. Taking his family to a local Theater, to see this film for the very first time, Jeff was so ashamed of it, that he beat a hasty retreat, out of the Theater, to wait for his family's return in the parking lot! As the story goes, Jeff had pulled his coat collar up, around his face, in order to leave the Theater, incognito. Jeff was a much underrated talent, and unfortunately today, largely forgotten, Jeff deserved much better than he had usually received. As always, Jeff was up to his usual high standards of performing, I always admired his smooth and down-to-Earth approach towards his various roles. And, Jeff processed great depth, in his efforts. And this Twilight Zone episode, is certainly an example of his talents........

Imagine time freezes '"*'*"' * you're on a island **** with everything you need to live like a king with no governments no enemies no watch just a beauty of a dame and a calm nature...

Have to go the bathroom. I'll freeze this - hahahahaHAH !!

the episodes 'the masks", the "hitchhiker", and "the real martian stand up" are true treasures. but yes there are many a good episode. "happy with your picture mister" -"wrestling". "its a kookie camera"! "time enough at last" and to all you youtubers, my coin is still on edge. so yes i know what you're thinking. im only a penny fortune machine. so, "thats for you to find out". in the nick of time of course

i like it when they lye still! i been doing all them black and white whoes

the best show in the zone

My life is the Twilight Zone....ugh

The first ones aren't temporal, they are dead people in their final wishes, preserved as they want to be remembered for all eternity.

I was 8 years old and could control the speed of the television

And I thought the mannequin challenge was new 🤯👏🏾
