The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street is one of my favorite Twilight Zone episodes - Cannot wait to watch this tonight!

Geoff S.

The second episode is an all time classic. Your shirt looks very comfy.

Adam R

The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street is my favorite of the first season! 🙂🌀

Drew

With the Zone, I think "I've got goosebumps" could replace your "Jerry/he's such a shit" as your most oft-used quote for a TV show watch. Also, Vera Miles who played Millicent in the first episode was the actress who went down in the fruit cellar at the end of "Psycho" (great to see that she is still alive/soon to be 96 years old.)

Darryl Low

"Drinking milk by moonlight" hehe That made me laugh Jen 😆 They are certainly getting their money's worth out of those Forbidden Planet props haha.

mirror image episode has freaked me out for decades. thank you, Jen, for reacting to the original Twilight Zone.

Gary Cameron

"The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street" is definitely a classic of 50s - 60s sci-fi PLUS Cold War Paranoia, as are many sci-fi movies of the period. Thank you, Jen!

Gary Cameron

It couldn't be that Millicent had a mirror twin from another dimension - no goatee! 😗

Julian San

Lmfao sorry, kid. But if this episode is any indication, you’re susceptible to mob mentality too! 😂

Jeff H

Thanks for the reminder.

That Maple Street one didn't work for me at all. I know they are short episodes but going from power cut to murder in one evening based on a comic book story was crazy.

I had a bad tooth I didn't sleep 3 nights in a row and I was absolutely goofy. Straight up bonkers. My dentist said it would be at least 48 hours before the antibiotics would drop the swelling enough that the pain meds would actually kick in and help. Thursday night I either passed out or the meds finally kicked in enough for me to sleep. So I probably went about 87 hours without sleep and I was definitely not thinking straight.

Geoff S.

The next 3-4 episodes are great. All time classics.

Chris Biebel

To give you an idea on Serling's writing talent, he had 3 Emmys and a Peabody for writing teleplays...BEFORE he started The Twilight Zone (He ended up winning two for The Twilight Zone and another one for something else as well).

TigerMyth

I got in an argument with some internet folks earlier today about the time it takes between seasons of Severance. The folks on the other side talked about the difficulties in writing a good show and filming it. I thought that was a bit of a lame excuse for some shows taking 2+ years to film 10 episodes. I pointed to Star Trek producing 26 episodes PER YEAR. This would be another great example. Rod wrote 19 of the 36 episodes for season 1. He wrote the adaptation for an additional 9. Are they all bangers? I'm actually surprised that through the first 22, I think there have been 2 that I wanted to fast forward a bit. So yeah, there have been a ton of bangers. Rod was prolific. The dude must not have had much sleep. By the way we were talking about the time from season 2 to season 3. I know Severance was hit by the one two punch of Covid and the writers strike.

TigerMyth

The twins was super creepy. The smug smiling faces. They were not friendly. They knew what they were doing. Originally, I watched most of these episodes late night, sneaking into the tv room on Sunday night. The local Public Broadcast Station had reruns at 10pm. A lot of the episodes really scared the dickens out of me. 50 years later, Apparently they still do. lol.

JustSomeDude

Whenever Jen starts guessing, I keep thinking of the IT crowd episode where Roy's trying to watch the movie at Douglas's and he starts guessing all the twists. (Keep up the fun reactions!)

The Irish Buddhist

Tough decision this week for sure. Ep 21 for me it almost felt as if the train station was the intersection of the two realities and maybe that bench was the point where one was converging into the other... does making you think. Ep 22 I do agree Rod did an amazing job with the story and playing on our instincts and motives as human beings... how easily it is to disrupt how we think, react, and even treat one another when we forget to be logical and suddenly become hysterical over things that we don't understand and back us in corners. Would definitely be our undoing and they wouldn't even have to make themselves seen. I'm leaning towards 22 myself.

"Mirror Image" is one of my absolute top favorite Twilight Zones, it's one of the first episodes I ever saw (along with Time Enough At Last and The Lonely)....and then I never saw it again for like 20 years! Every time I ever tuned into the Twilight Zone, it was never "Mirror Image"! lol. And then "Monsters" is one of the most famous episodes; I remember studying it in high school English class! Since the day you started this show, THIS was what I've been most waiting for! Did not disappoint!!!!! PS: Vera Miles in Mirror Image......she's also the sister in "Psycho", who screams at the very end. Not only that: it's the same year! (Same thing with the detective in "Psycho"; he plays the worried manager in "The 16 Millimeter Shrine". Love to see these great actors working....at their peak! :D ). THANKS JEN!!!!!

Thadman

It was definitely about the Cold War paranoia of the time. But, we've seen more modern versions of the mob mentality built on nothing. Jan. 6, 2020 springs to mind.

TigerMyth

Rod did such a good job with pacing. He has to pack a lot into a 25 minutes. He did a great job of having normal law abiding citizens turn into a rabid mob in less that a half hour. lol.

Jeremy Nuss

he first one wins the creep factor. The look on the face of the guy’s twin as he ran down the road at the end will haunt my dreams, but it felt unfinished. The second one felt like a more complete story and I thought the acting was very good.

Barry Hammock

For me, unofficial win goes to "The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street" because it's one of my favorite episodes of the entire series.

Walter Crockett

So in 1960 it was acceptable for a man to call the police on a woman, he just met and say she told a crazy story and they just drive up an throw her in the back of a police car no questions asked ? Based on some of the things my therapist has told me about mental health care at that time, unfortunately it is belivaable and that's the scary part.

Drowned In Gravy

Annoying customer or not, that guy at the desk is a complete dick and should not be working customer service

Also, my record of not sleeping was finals senior year back in college when I didn't sleep for roughly 83 hours. I didn't hallucinate but I did feel like I was drunk as fuck despite not drinking that whole week. I remember turning my last project in, going back to my apartment, laying on my bed and then the next like 18 hours were just gone. The next thing I remember was waking up fully dressed with the birds chirping and feeling so good I thought I would explode. I was just resting my eyes then I woke up the next morning bright and early with no idea what was going on. To this day my friends from back then and I refer to it as Nap Van Winkle.
