Yeah, that's the one. I thought it was "All the Time in the World". Guess that's just the last line he madly chuckles to himself. Its a classic!

IIRC, this one had Burgess Meredith. Good show!

I liked the TWZ we had another this side of the pond called Tales of the unexpected which had the same format.

After they discontinued The Twilight Zone, Rod Serling came out with a show called "The Night Gallery"...

I remember watching them when I was a kid, and some of those episodes scared the crap out of me.

Same here.
Remember the one with the guy who had x-ray vision or something like it.
When he went into the church at the end and ripped his eyes out I freaked.
Try being 10 at 2 am and seeing something like that.

Seeing when it was in first run I may have caught some of them before they were in reruns.

Thats the one! Where the painting keeps changing throughout the episode. Really creepy!

Creepy ain't the word when you're 12 years old!

The two I remember best were

the one with William Shatner as a 'nervous flyer' convinced there was something out on the wing of the aircraft. There was of course but the aircrew thought he was just a bit squirrelly about flying. When they landed, one of the engines was a bit of a mess with claw and teeth marks and pieces of metal ripped away.

The other one is more vague, some cold-hearted tax-collector (I think) visited someone who owned a camera obscura up at the top of an old building, he looked through it and saw a recreation of the town in about the Middle Ages. Anyway, he delivered his ultimatum and left. When he got outside he found himself in the Middle Age town being surrounded by some rather unpleasant-looking characters. The guy upstairs just watched the whole thing through his camera obscura.

There was one where a little boy could physically change anything he wanted. This generally followed the form of what a little boy would change if he had the power to and one of the things he did was to completely remove the mouth from his sister's face. I distinctly remember wishing I could do that...

There were many times I wished the same....

Were these in the TZ series, or in the NightGallery series?

Now you've got me
pretty sure they were TZ up until you said that

diddyriddick · 07-13-2009, 03:05 PM

Shatner on a plane was definitely TZ. Not familiar w/ the other one.

I think the one you are thinking of with the little boy is this one Colin.

It was remade in the Twilight zone movie.
