Twilight Zone marathon coming up!
Jun. 26th, 2008 10:58 amTime for another TZ marathon on Sci-Fi! Every year they do one at New Years and one over July 4.
July 3 is Ringo Starr day, I'll be at the Hard Rock most of the day and into the night, so I don't know how much watching I'll do that day, and I am requesting the 4th off so we'll see what happens *crosses fingers* But I'll highlight my favorite, "can't miss" episodes, many of which I've taped and / or have on DVD now... I recommend these.

My July 3 Highlights
9:30 am The Masks
10:30 am The Bewitchin' Pool
11:00 am I Sing The Body Electric
1:30 pm The Invaders (Agnes Moorehead fighting itty bitty space guys! LOVE)
2:00 pm Nightmare as a Child
2:30 pm Eye of the Beholder (this one is a GIVEN, it's shown every single marathon)
4:00 pm The Monsters are Due on Maple Street
5:00 pm Kick The Can (This is the inspiration for the movie "Cocoon")
8:30 pm Nightmare at 20,000 Feet
9:30 pm In The Praise of Pip
10:00 pm Living Doll ("I'm Talky Tina and I'm going to kill you!")
11:30 pm The Obsolete Man (I! AM! NOT! OBSOLETE!)
12:30 am Nothing in the Dark
4:00 am Miniature (I swear this one is great, made me want a really cool doll house)
At 6am they break for Paid Programming for two hours...
My July 4 Highlights
8:00 am Stopover In A Quiet Town
10:00 am To Serve Man ("It's a COOKBOOK!!")
1:00 pm King Nine Will Not Return (this is one I don't get to see often!)
2:30 pm A Most Unusual Camera
3:30 pm The Howling Man
5:00 pm Five Characters In Search of an Exit (kudos, Sci-Fi! You showed this last marathon too, after not having had it on in a long time! YAY! Up there in my top five!)
5:30 pm Midnight Sun
6:30 pm The Last Night of a Jockey (GREAT performance by Mickey Rooney here! Most excellent!)
7:00 pm It's A Good Life (another that's a GIVEN... they almost HAVE to show certain eps, right?)
8:00 pm A Penny For Your Thoughts
8:30 pm Two
10:00 pm Cavender is Coming (Carol Burnett is in this one. I think it's the only real comic ep of TZ I've ever seen. Catch it, it's different from the normal ep and weirdly contains a laugh track!)
11:00 pm A Passage for Trumpet (Jack Klugman was so great in this one!!!)
5:00 am On Thursday We Leave for Home
And a GLARING omission this time! No "Time Enough At Last"!! That surprises me because there are like five eps that make each and EVERY marathon and this is one of them, one of the beloved ones. WOW. *shakes head* But they did counter that with a couple of rare ones that don't get the love as often, so I guess. But... but... BURGESS MEREDITH! *pouts* Ah well, I'll pull out the DVD and make it part of the marathon on my own then! LOL!
What are your favorites?
