    I was born in 1989, but the original Twilight Zone series might be my favorite television series. Granted, I enjoy the interesting sci-fi stories, but I think Twilight Zone does a great job spanning all genres (drama, sci-fi, horror). I love watching this show, and am planning on buying all the complete series.

    My two favorite episodes include an episode where a US tank regiment gets caught in the Battle of the Little Bighorn (of course, Custer's Last Stand!!!) and 'A Stop at Willoughby', which is too good of a story to tell her.

    does anyone like this show and does any episode stand out to you in particular?

    I still watching when they are on. I was excited when they came out with the new series in the 1990s until I actually saw them and many of them were just remakes........and not very good ones at that.

    Politically, I find the Theodore Bikel episode "Four O'Clock" to be very entertaining. In an era before the Talk Radio or the Internet, a twisted bitter man spreads rumors about people destroying their lives....and eventually decides that the work is just "too much" for him and that he's going to make everybody "evil" in the world shrink to two feet tall by sheer force of his will at 4:00.

    Naturally when the aforementioned time rolls around...it is HE who shrinks to 2 feet tall.

    Not the most fascinating or well-written episode....but "Crangle's" mania....resembles much of modern political blogging (I'll be non-partisan and not say which side).

    I grew up watching "The Twilight Zone" and my favorite episode was "To Serve Man."
