I agree.
Where Is Everybody?
may well have been my first, or close enough. One question: what's the age of the person you're trying turn onto the
Zone
? Teenagers have different tastes from young adults, middle aged folks from younger ones, pre-teens have (yes) minds of their own (the
TZ
was
very
popular with kids under thirteen).
Okay, for a Millenial, probably the ones that have a more primal resonance than a topical one:
The Hitch-Hiker, Elegy
and
Nightmare At 20,000 Feet
for sheer supernatural and sci-fi horror and fun. For a lighter touch:
Hocus-Pocus And Frisby, Will The Real Martian Please Stand Up?
, maybe
A Game Of Pool

I'll go with 'The Monsters are Due on Maple Street'. Its a solid episode - not one of the weirder ones, it gives a good representation of what the show is about, and finally the underlying theme is just as relevant now as it was then.

The first on I watched, and it. really caught my interest was "Eye of the Beholder." I watched and was like, "What exactly is underneath those bandages?" Kept me hooked all the way through to the ending, and I just continued watching the Sci-Fy 4th of July marathon all the way through. Huge fan ever since.
