My favorite episode was "A Message from Charity."
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.

The one about the test was one of my favorites, too. It was called "Examination Day", and I think it was based on a short story that I read later. I don't remember the author, unfortunately. -

Why has no one mentioned "Palladin of the Lost Hour" with Danny Kaye. This was by far the best Twilight Zone episode of that 80's series. It's a beautiful story with exceptional acting. Another favorite is the one where a woman who is a worker in a future society escapes through a dream machine to her version of paradise (I think it may of been one of the first episodes ever broadcast). "A Message from Charity" was also great as was "Examination Day" and another one that was a take on the moral majority - a right wing preacher type is in charge of Hell and does not consult God before sending people there. Here in Canada it was considered the "lost episode" because of some interuption but I managed to tape it off someone's satelite.

I never even knew "Paladin of the Lost" Hour was made into an episode. I remember reading the short story in Eng 101. It was a fantastic story and i wish i could see the episode.
I do remeber seeing "Gramma" and i must agree it was scary as hell.
