Share your cry-like-a-baby Twilight Zone episode(s)

[Bossy Monkey]

or any cry-like-a-baby TV episode you care to share.

Me: One for the Angels (Ed Wynn as an elderly pitchman keeping Death from taking a little girl), The Changing of the Guard (Donald Pleasence as an elderly teacher learning that he was more successful than he'd thought). Apparently, I'm a sucker for old failures coming through at the end.

3. Oh jeez, that one, too. (Continuing the old guy loser redemption theme...) n/t

2. My name is Talky Tina

"My name is Talky Tina, and I love you very much!"
"My name is Talky Tina and I don't think I like you."
"My name is Talky Tina, and I think I could even hate you"
"My name is Talky Tina, and you'll be sorry"
"My name is Talky Tina and I'm beginning to hate you."
"My name is Talky Tina, and I'm going to kill you."
"My name is Talky Tina, and I don't forgive you!"
"My name is Talky Tina...and you better be nice to me!"

That doll got what she wanted in the end. :cry:

4. The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street.

Just a fantastic episode. And it did an amazing job of paralleling the red scare which was still an issue with many people of the day. What a great series.

7. "...And the pity of it is that these things cannot be confined to the Twilight Zone." nt

8. And a perfect parable for our time - timeless story. n/t

5. Nothing In the Dark

When the old woman finally takes Death's hand. The music, the expressions...poignant beyond belief.

6. Five Characters In Search Of An Exit

An Army major in dress uniform (William Windom), a clown, a hobo, a ballet dancer and a bagpiper find themselves in a giant cylinder with no memory of who they are or how they got there.

On edit ... "The Hunt"
A man (Arthur Hunnicutt) hunting with his dog finds out he has died.

9. That one sounds like the movie "Cube" to me.

As big of a fan I am of TZ, I don't remember that one. I'm going to have to look it up. And "The Hunt" sounds rather similar to "The 6th Sense". Goes to show you how incredibly influential that show was.

10. Oh, god. The toys in the box one kills me.

Every. Damn. Time.

:cry:

11. Time Enough at Last

Burgess Meredith as a bank teller who is not allowed to read anywhere, then survives the bomb, only to lose his glasses. I can't watch this episode anymore.
