I’m a big fan of Twenty-Two. Even though it is one of the video taped episodes, it holds up. And whenever we go somewhere, and there’s an empty seat, I tell my wife “Room for one more, honey.” A World of His Own, where Keenan Wynn erases Serling at the end. Death Ship.

“Walking Distance” has the best scene. It is between Martin Slone and his father. No matter what the circumstances, you are always the father to your child. “I Am The Night - Color Me Black” has the best character in Michael Constantine playing Sheriff Koch, a man determined to not let hate interfere with his duty despite everyone else. “The 7th Is Made Up Of Phantoms” has the best line. “Too bad they couldn’t have brought the tank.
