Long live Richard Matheson!
Thanks for posting that. My kids have wanted to see “To Serve Man” every since I told them about it.
Watch out for the Kanamits...!
My teenage daughter *loved* it. We have a couple of new family jokes out of it.
I will try to get my son to watch "To Serve Man" when it comes on.
Cheers!
Yes, I posted an alert here yesterday morning on it. Got over 1000 views!

Nice to see that at least some kids today appreciate this classic series. I really feel sorry for the generations coming along after the seventies. What garbage "entertainment" they've been dealt (television, movies, music, hobbies, even cartoons stink today). :)
That one episode is my ultimate favorite Twilight Zone episode, followed by the little girl falling out of bed into the 4th dimension.
“Nice to see that at least some kids today appreciate this classic series. I really feel sorry for the generations coming along after the seventies. What garbage “entertainment” they’ve been dealt (television, movies, music, hobbies, even cartoons stink today). :)”
Yep. Just black and white. Only a few actors in each episode. No extravagant special effects.
Just very good writing and good stories. Always with a twist at the end.
“Tales from the Crypt” came close, but not as good as “Twilight Zone.”
What I especially like is seeing the actors who would later become big stars, like William Shatner and Robert Redford. I couldn’t believe that Robert Redford had those pock marks on his face even when he was young. It’s a wonder he made it in Hollywood at all. I don’t even think he’s that good of an actor. He tends to overact.
The average TZ episode can be done in about 30 seconds. While there are a handful of standout episodes, usually it’s a very simple idea that’s stretched out to 30 minutes. When TZ went to an hour for a season, the weakness really shows and those episodes are notably boring, tedious, and long.
The Outer Limits had much better story ideas and writing, and a more sophisticated approach to the material. TZ is very overrated.
Also a great cast/character selection. Serling really knew how to pick the right people for the right roles.
Great! After seeing that one, which airs SOON (at 10AM Eastern Time), they'll be far less likely to ever consider voting for a wolf-in-sheep's-clothing impostor like Obama! :)
I'd have to go with a poster in yesterday's thread about wanting an MST3000 marathon.
Joel's resurfaced. He did a short segment on Dennis Miller a couple of months back.
Thanks for posting.
Happy 4th of July, everyone!
I can visit mind-bending strange new Worlds by going to the DU or DailyKos.
Yeah, but that crazy and weird stuff is for REAL! Check this one out...
The following was actually meant to be serious...(i think)
Charging the 2000 presidential election was 'rigged', the DUmmies swore they were not going to allow it to happen again in 2004 (Kerry defeated like Al Gore in 2000).

Democratic Underground blogger ("happyslug": 1000+ posts) responds...
"if it is decided to fight, be prepared to fight, bring a backpack, entrenching tool, tent, and other equipment of an Infantrymen. You will need it for Bush and his supporters decides it is better to fight than to accept the will of the people, the fight to overthrow them will be a long fight."
"...it takes three things to overthrow a tyrant;...
1. Popular support, you must have the majority of the people on your side (i.e. Democracy, even the Communists and Islamics both try to show they have the Support of the Majority of the People),
2. Organization to perform the overthrow (This is why Madison wrote the First like he did, these are HOW you organize an opposition. Without the First it is hard to organize an opposition and any resistence organized in absence of the rights stated in the First tend to be as tyrannical as what you are opposing)
3. Weapons to push the issue if the leadership that is being overthrown tries to use force to stay in power. You have to be willing to answer force with force. Weapons do not overthrow a tyrant, weapons just protect the people who are overthrowing a tyrant."
"Now, you may say "Hay, you are talking about Islamic and/or Communists groups not 'Western Liberal resistence groups'". And you would be correct. As I said in the beginning the first step in a guerilla war against a tyrant is to first organize. The Islamic and Communists Groups were the best at organizing people. "Western Liberal Resistence Groups" were less effective in organizing resistence groups (And less liked by the CIA and KGB who tended to fund these groups, remember any war is expensive, money talks).
Furthermore since most Islamic and Communist groups tend to be the first groups outlawed they tend to go underground first. Once underground they start to organize and as other groups are outlawed those groups tend to join the opposition which tends to be either Islamic or Communistic. Once outlawed these groups also tend to be controlled by the most fanatic opponents of the Tyrants and these tend to be either Islamic or Communistic. Thus to oppose the Tyrants you have to support a side with enough discipline to get the job done and that tend to be Communist or Islamic."
"...Any weapons we resort to must be "real" weapons not pistols. i.e. Rifles and shotguns. Due to concerns of re-supply (you have to plan for a long battle) such weapons should be limited to very small number of different rounds. Generally restrict yourself to the following rounds:
5.56x 45 (.223 Remington) 7.62x 63 (30-06) 7.62x 51 (.308 Winchester or 7.62 NATO) 7.62 x 39 (7.62mm Russian 7.62 AK Round) 12 Gauge Shotgun. 30-30 Winchester."
"You have more weapons in the above calibers than any other calibers thus should be your first choice in weapons. Saying this I must point out I like the 7x57 and 7.92x57 Mauser rounds and the M1898 Mauser Bolt action Rifle, but the 7.92 (sometime called 8mm Mauser) but these rounds are less common than the above and thus harder to obtain when re-supply is needed (and re-supply will be needed if the struggle lasts for any length of time).
Re-supply of Ammunition has always been the bane of any military operations. Without ammunition you can not fight. To get you ammunition, it is easier if we can keep the number of different rounds to a minimum (i.e. 5.56x45 and 7.62x51). I list the 30-06 and 30-30 winchester rounds for these are two VERY popular rounds and ammunition for both are easy to obtain (the same with the 12 Gauge shotgun). I list the 7.62 AK round do to the huge number of SKSs and AKs imported since the fall of the Soviet Union. I list it for while there are probably more 30-30s and 30-06 rifles out they than 7.62 Aks and SKSs, the Aks and SKSs may very while outnumber the rifles in 5.56x45 and 7.62 NATO.
Also, if it is decided to fight, be prepared to fight, bring a backpack, entrenching tool, tent, and other equipment of an Infantrymen. You will need it for Bush and his supporters decides it is better to fight than to accept the will of the people, the fight to overthrow them will be a long fight."

Great, succinct analysis.
TZ was kiddie stuff. Outer Limits was an attempt at more grown-up material, and its combining SF with horror was unique to TV at the time. It was clearly an influence on Alien, The Terminator (remeber the lawsuit Cameron lost over that?), X-FIles...
