Episode 8 "Time Enough at Last" November 20, 1960
Henry Bemis (Burgess Meredith) has a healthy interest in reading; people who underestimate its worth surround him. He is conspired against by the bank president and even his wife. He works in a bank and spends his afternoons in the vault catching up on his reading. I will say no more as you and Mr. Bemis are about to enter the Twilight Zone.
Burgess Meredith will be found in several of the Twilight Zone episodes and again as the narrator of the 1983 Twilight Zone movie.
Episode 22 "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street" March 4, 1960
The typical neighbors, like Claude Atkins and Jack Weston, are out doing neighbor things like mowing their lawn. They stop to hear a weird sound and see a strange light. It is assumed to be a weird meteor. Suddenly, the power goes out, and nothing works: no phones, no cars, nothing. This is the last moment before the real monsters come out.
Episode 123 "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" October 11, 1963
Mr. Wilson (William Shatner) is a salesman who is recovering from a nervous breakdown he had in an airplane. He is on his way down in a propeller commuter plane. You know something is amiss with him as he realizes he is next to the emergency window, over the wing. Of course, his psychiatrist, Dr. Martin, would not let him fly home unless he was well. In the middle of an electrical storm, he looks out the window, and I will say no more, as you are about to enter the darkest part of the Twilight Zone.
This episode will be included in the 1983 movie with John Lithgow playing Mr. Wilson.
Episode 54 "The Odyssey of Flight 33" February 24, 1961
An international Jet flight, Global 33, is heading for Idawiled Airport. On the way, they get a sensation of great speed and go through some unknown barrier. Captain Farver (John Anderson) loses all external electronic guidance. He goes down for a closer look. I will not say anything more, as you have now entered the Twilight Zone.
I wonder: if we have a current remake, would Global 33 lose global positioning?
