I saw them on TV when they were originally aired from '59 through '64. Needless to say, I don't remember all that many of them. But the shows I do remember, are shows I'll never forget.

I think that's it. Thanks! How do you remember them so well? I remember watching them, but I never paid attention to the titles.

TZ is one of my favorite shows. Before DVDs became popular I used to collect them on VHS and tape them off the Sci-Fi channel. I would catalog the tapes so I knew where on the tapes they were if I wanted to watch a particular episode. Now I have them cataloged on my personal laptop. Yeah, I'm a geek, but at least it was with a cool show!
I don't remember every single title, but if you gave me a brief synopsis of an episode I can find the title pretty quick.

I need to check out some of these old TZ episodes.
The TZ episode is called Ceasar and Me and is another of my favs...very creepy.
I have the movie Magic on DVD, found it at the PX out here of all places. I saw it when I was younger (when my cousin and I used to perform magic shows) and then found it again in college on VHS. Now I have the DVD. Funny thing is is that I was going to watch it last night, but went to get pizza instead. Maybe I'll check it out tonight.

The Twilight Zone had a lot of creepy doll's episodes. Ventriloquist and doll(The doll speaks to him),
Ceasar and Me
Quote:Dolls in the box (They try to escape from box), etc etc...They were good and weird!
Five Characters in Search of an Exit (they were toys)

Ken Valentine Wrote:Isn't it also an English slang term for prison or a police station? Old Nick?Yeah, good call, not that common these days (I think the 70's cop shows gave the word a bad rep) but you still hear it now and again. 'Off down the (old) nick to pick up my brother, he got nicked for possession.'

The old is optional.

That sounds like me with "The Simpsons". But that series lost me about 8 years ago.

Does anyone remember the episode "It's a Good Life(1961)"? A little boy lived in small town in Ohio. His name is Anthony(Bill Mumy), and he had a special power. Everybody were (including his family) frightened at him. If you angered Anthony, he erase you. So everybody said "Anthony, you are good boy" "Yes, he is good boy and he did good things".
But.....hey, have you ever imagined how he grew up?
The answer is 42 years later.......Anthony grew up and he has daughter! This episode's title is "It's a Still Good Life(2003)" in The Twilight Zone(2002). Bill Mumy played Anthony again. Also Cloris Leachman played Anthony's mother again...
This sequel was excellent and had very chilly moments.
