The version with Mark Harmon wasn't a TZ episode, it was a TV movie based on the 1960's episode "A Stop at Willoughby" which starred James Daly. The TV movie was called "For All Time" and it also starred Mary McDonnell. Check it out, there's a record for it here on IMDB.

My favorite episode was "A Message from Charity."
If I recall correctly, the 1985 version of "The Twilight Zone" came on the same year that NBC remade "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" and the same year that Spielberg's "Amazing Stories" was on the air. I was in the sixth grade that year (I'm 30 now), and it's good, top-notch TV shows like this, among other things, that make me think that the '80s were a really good decade for being a kid.

I am in the middle of going through the series, and "A Message from Charity" is my favorite so far. I will come back to this thread after I finish to list some of my favorite. The series is better than I remembered.you can't kill the boogie man!

Only one I ever saw was "Gramma", when it originally airedthe part at the climax where the grandmother's grotesque face is finally shown scared the cr*p out of me as a kid. I just finished reading Skeleton Crew, and it doesn't surprise me that the story was written by Stephen King.

It's been over a decade since I've seen any of this show but I can still remember some of the stories. My favorite is probably "A Message From Charity" about a teenage boy in modern time achieving a psychic link with a teenage girl in the 1600s. Back in the mid 90s I found a copy of the original short story in a collection and was amazed at how faithful the screenplay was.
I also liked the 5 minute shorts "A Small Talent For War" (aliens come to Earth and scold humanity) and (can't remember the name) the one about parents concerned over their son taking a test Oh and the one with Sherman Hemsley playing a mathematician who would sell his soul for the answer to a problem and poof a demon (Ron Glass) appears. I always loved that the demon's t-shirts kept changing ("Gehenna, not just a place a way of life.") and the line "I can go from here to the Andromeda galaxy and back in one-tenth of a second. Faster if I didn't stop for lunch!"

It's not that we forgot, it's that you're remembering an episode from the 1960's TZ, and this board is for the 1980's TZ. The episode is "Time Enough at Last," starring Burgess Meredith as Henry Bemis. It might have been remade as an episode of the 2002 TZ, but I've never seen that version (didn't get a UPN station in this market until after it had been cancelled) so I don't know for sure.
