Hi Gina, How are you?  I went thru the listings and I hope to see a few that I missed the last marathon. To Serve Man is one of my favorites. I might watch again. I still remember seeing that particular episode (for some reason) for the first time and being blown away by the ending. Funny how sometimes these insignificant things remain fresh in our minds. Thanks for posting....next stop....the Twilight Zone!!!!! TIS

Whether it was 4th of July or last New Year, time flew. It seems like I was just saying that I can't wait to watch a bunch of Twilight Zone episodes because I had never realized there was an annual marathon. Then I posted about how I completely forgot about it. Maybe this year I will actually remember to watch it. Is "SyFy" the same as "SciFi" channel? If it's the same thing, when and why did they change the spelling?

Well, I just might show up in Jersey, so I hope you're prepared for another guest! Of course it's such a fancy and extravagant affair, I'm sure one more won't hurt.  And I think you've been saying you're 17 since I was 17, so shouldn't you have aged a tad by now? haha BL, you better watch them, you scoundrel! I posted this same episode guide on my school Facebook account as a note, so I'm hoping I can force at least one new person to become a fan.  SyFy is the same as SciFi - I read that they changed it so that it would be like an official brand for the network, I think. Since "sci-fi" is a genre, that apparently wouldn't work.

I just happened to tune in to another one of my favorites, "Kick the Can."  "The Howling Man" follows, but I don't remember it (not by the title anyway). TIS

12:00 AM THE DUMMY A ventriloquist becomes convinced that his dummy has a will and a life of its own. Just watched these three. I particularly liked "To Serve Man". I've seen "The Dummy" before and it's still creepy, although I don't quite understand the ending when they show a different ventriloquist and dummy...? I think I missed something, any thoughts?

I ended up watching a total of 13 episodes! I hope that partially makes up for my scoundrel ways last year  The last four I watched were "Time Enough at Last", "The After Hours", "Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up" and "Stopover in a Quiet Town". I felt so bad for the little guy in "Time Enough at Last"! "Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up" reminded me of 12 Angry Men, but with that Twilight Zone twist. I really wasn't expecting that ending!

Gina, I know what you mean. But you gotta admit, what a typical (and great) TZ ending, with the poor guy losing his glasses. At the time, I didn't see that coming either. Classic TZ. My parents never liked TZ because of so many strange endings and odd storylines. Me, I think they're great. TIS

where's my invite to your New Year's jubilee? In other words....... GINA : Don Geoffy... Don Geoffy... What have I ever done to make you treat me so disrespectfully? Had you invited me to your New Years Jubilee party -- in friendship -- then we could have watched the Twilight Zone Marathon together. OMG with the NYE!! Sure, you fly into Jersey tomorrow, and I'll pick you up!
In other words..... J GEOFF: Gina, I wish you would o' let me know you were coming; I could o' prepared something for you.

Strange to see Duvall as such a timid young man. Did you ever see "To Kill a Mockingbird"?
