if you're staying in, like me, all the best Twilight Zones are on SciFi now--i just watched "To Serve Man" and now it's that one where everyone's pigfaced except for that one woman.

The pigfaced one is called "Eye of the Beholder."
It is my very favorite episode ever.

Now I really wish I had cable!

I'm on it - thanks Amberglow!

Hi Amberglow!

How are you doing, Amberglow?

I think there should be a Twilight Zone episode called Amberglow!

i'm cranky, LT--too hot and muggy out, and working too much (and too many bad dreams)...summer's not my best time.

I've been watching them sporadically. I like Miniature - the dollhouse at the museum.

this one on now i've never seen--Burgess Meredith as the last person?

(he's in so many of them, no?)

oh, at 12:30 est, the weird silent Wizard of Oz is on TCM--it's wizard of oz day there--the Wiz is on now.

I would like to take this moment to urge all of you to read the books of Richard Matheson, one of the more memorable Twilight Zone writers. I Am Legend is particularly awesome, even though it was made into a movie that butchered the plot and featured Charlton Heston.

i'll look for them, cmonkey--thanks!!!

i love the one on now--about the old folks who play kid's games : >

oh, he wrote What Dreams May Come?!? cool : >

i'm almost done with this: Well of Lost Plots/Fforde (excellent--better than the others even, i think)

posted by amberglow 03 July | 23:01

oh, a 1910 version of the Wizard of Oz comes on after the 1925 one (but it's not as weird as that one)

A friend of my dad's wrote the one about the dolls who didn't know they were.

posted by brujita 03 July | 23:34

the dolls in the garbage can? i love that one (that one and the mannikin one in the dept store--so mind-bending) : >

For anyone who hasn't seen it... Planet Of The Apes: "reimagined" as a twilight zone episode.
