Not the best, but…interesting take on escapism. A good, solid ending.
Talk about haunting music…not bad.
Naughty ventriloquist dummy, part two. Not bad.
Predictable, but fairly creepy. Borderline.
Included only because it’s so INCREDIBLY bad.
Message: Marry who your daddy says cuz *cue Gwen* “you’re just a girl…”, and if you follow your heart you’ll always regret it. Can someone MST this, please?
Agnes rocks! I wanna get one of those. But…maybe just the laptop.
Decent. Interestingly macabre twist.
Watch this only if you want the essence of ‘Brave New World’ without having to actually read the d@mn thing.
Interesting take on history/fascination with.
Going by the Netflix listings for episode number. Why? Consistency. And because the real episode 130 kinda sucks, so who cares?
Moderately interesting space/biblical theme.
A poor man’s ‘Time Enough At Last’, without the setup. Ehhh…not bad.
Shatner’s back, and this time he’s got a really creepy friend with him. A good one.
Boxing in the “future”. Fairly interesting, with a determination/loyalty/nostalgia angle.
Unavailable on Netflix streaming, as of this writing.
They’re hour-long. Caveat Emptor.
Great idea, PAINFULLY bad execution. For Bradbury fanatics only.
Another interesting take on, you guessed it: perception. With a rather interesting space morality play thrown in. MIB-worthy.
Persistent Man’s Crisis Of Identity In The Latter Half Of The Twentieth Century.
Extra-terrestrial fairy tales can come true. Cute little twist.
Brilliant. Second-best ever, after ‘It’s A Good Life’.
Personally, I watch it whenever I want to remind myself how foolishly ignorant arrogance is.
Man wakes up during his own funeral. As you can imagine, fairly interesting.
The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. From a piano, yet.
And one pretentious complete scumbag.
Reminds me of ‘Hagakure”s dragon quote.
A light-hearted lesson.
All Dogs Go To Heaven.
Man’s best friend. Ruff!
The Eternal Shoe.
Decent.
Somewhat interesting take on death.
Message: “Don’t be as bad as the Japanese”.
What an offensive, racist, propagandist crock of sh1t. At least when the Stooges made their anti-Japanese commentaries we were actually STILL AT WAR.
And God has nothing to do with war. War is a human construct.
Alternate Title: ‘Episode 10 – Propaganda Day’
4/15/16: I expect better from Rod Serling, he was usually right on/ahead of his time.
A good ‘MIB’-ending-esque reason not to get too arrogant about what you “know”.
Charmingly quaint. Cute and fun in a somewhat Stooge-ian way.
Another good take on perception and desperation.
I applaud the anti-sadism and anti-Nazi-apologist messages.
Unlike episode 10, the condemnation is totally and completely justified.
The best ‘Twilight Zone’ episode ever.
Ultra-creepy, twisted, dark, intelligent, and thought-provoking.
Be wary of power without wisdom and self-control.
Jack Klugman’s second episode. Unusually good acting/script.
What happens to “civility” when things go horribly wrong.
Interesting, but pretty badly written and cliched. Borderline.
Oh Oh Oh, an AERO-plane…couldn’t resist.
Not worth your time.
Charles Bronson has never acted better. For whatever that’s worth.
No real hook, and fairly predictable…but in this case, mildly interesting.
Anti-Fascism. Orwell would have been proud.
The “diner” episode…absolutely classic.
Exceptionally well-acted for one of these, and very interesting.
“It is a good viewpoint to see the world as a dream” – Y. Tsunetomo
“The essentials of speaking are in not speaking at all.” – Yamamoto Tsunetomo
Or…
The premise is amateurish and kinda silly, and so is the execution. But I like the statement on greed.
It’s a simple variation on a familiar theme (time), but a fairly interesting one.
Another example of extraordinary ability/circumstance used for minimal purpose.
Quite dry and no real “hook”…but I find it mildly interesting.
The benefits and problems of telepathy.
Virtually a silent short film. But quite interesting, I think.
For the positive and sentimental only.
If you’re both, this is on the level of ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’. Perfect for Christmas.
Dumb and Dumber and Dumberer. About as light-hearted a deadly caper as you can get.
Shatner’s first episode…not bad. And I love the take on “fate”.
