Wow, I didn't realize this was something that is shown on TV every year around this time. I'm definitely going to watch some of them.

Are there any particular episodes that are your favorites and I shouldn't miss?

I've only watched the first season, and these have been my favorites:

The Lonely
Time Enough at Last
Perchance to Dream
Third from the Sun
I Shot an Arrow into the Air
The Hitch-Hiker
Elegy
The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street
Execution
A Nice Place to Visit
A Stop at Willoughby
The After Hours
A World of His Own

Thanks, Gina - we always know when the new year is about to ring in when you post your TZ list!

...but no Robert Duvall in "Miniature"??

Maybe someday I'll have plans to spend the holiday at some wild swingin' party, but until then, TZ is always my reminder that it's the new year.

BL, out of the ones playing in this marathon, some of my favorites are:
Will The Real Martian Please Stand Up? (12/31 at 9:00 PM)
The Obsolete Man (12/31 at 9:30 PM)
The Howling Man (1/1 at 7:00 PM)
Time Enough At Last (1/1 at 8:00 PM)
The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street (1/1 at 9:00 PM)
Nightmare at 20,000 Feet (1/1 at 10:00 PM)

Those are "classics" for me, but there are many other great ones...you pretty much can't go wrong! There are still some I've never seen or hardly remember, and I'm hoping to catch a few this time around.

Thanks Gina, Mr. Garrety and the Graves is where I discovered SC's Long Lost Twin (during the last marathon you told us about

11:00 PM

DON'T MISS THIS ONE!

I watched it last time because you recommended it, it was excellent

I watched a few last yr and wanted to this yr but was zonked out waaaay before the ball dropped last night and won't have much time to watch today or tomorrow.

And I really should have watched b/c I haven't seen a lot of really good episodes in recent memory.

It's my favorite and definitely the best one.

I'll watch a Stop at Willoughby.

Each year my daughter and I create a village with lighted houses and figures under our Christmas tree and we call the village "Willoughby" in honor of this episode.

I too love the "Howling Man" and, of course, "Twenty-two." Thirdfrom the Sun is another good one with a classic TZ twist.

"Twenty two" was a good one as well. So was "The Invaders."

You know the whole idea behind "Life on Mars" happens in a nutshell in "Stop at Willoughby." Each and every episode has a wonderful idea. I should make time to watch the next seasons.

I completely forgot about this marathon

I didn't but I don't really watch this show. I've seen a few episodes and they were freaky and weird, so I'm not sure why I don't watch this show more.

For you guys who would still like to watch TZ, they come on SciFi late at night - sometimes two episodes from 1 to 2 AM Eastern. Maybe you can catch a few that way!

I started a Twilight Zone marathon of my own last night -- starting with Season 1 Episode 1, but there was a glitch with the Netflix on-demand that caused the audio to lag about half a minute behind the video. I wasn't sure if that was intended or not while watching, knowing this series! But alas, the second episode had the same problem, so I gotta wait 'til they fix it. But it's great that Netflix has the entire series (just the first on-demand so far, though)

It's not New Year's, it's not 4th of July...you can't do that!!

That'd be a fun way to watch it, from beginning to end, to see how the show progressed.

Maybe you were in the Twilight Zone, Geoff. Did you ever think about that?? You'll know for sure if you see yourself on the screen...that is, unless you've confused your mirror for a television.

I loved the marathon. I wish I could buy that whole DVD collection.
