I must say, it is a classic sci-fi show.

Hell yes. I have the complete DVD boxed set which I watch on a pretty regular basis and yet I have had the Sci Fi channel on all day for the marathon. The Sci Fi channel has some of the worst original material ever created for television, but it's got pretty good marathons.

I loved the 1993 Twilight Zone pinball machine.

Favorite episodes?
Mine is one of three:
Time Enough at Last- Dude loves to read. Bitchy wife won't let him. Asshole of a boss won't let him. World blows up in nuclear holocaust. He comes across a library... finally time to read. He drops his glasses and breaks them.
Deaths-Head Revisited- Ex SS-Captain Lutze returns to Dachau to relive the good old days of torturing and killing Jews during WWII. Runs into the ghost of one of the men he killed. He is put on trial by the ghost, Becker, and all the others he murdered. Goes insane.
The Monsters are Due on Maple Street- Strange lights in the sky. People on Maple Street look up and wonder what it is. A few lights start going off. Machines start behaving strangely. Residents of Maple Street start suspecting each other. A man is shot. All hell breaks loose as the town tears itself apart. In the last scene, aliens are seen off in the distance, watching the mayhem. One explains to the other that a people can be destroyed simply by "turning off a few of their machines" and letting them attack each other and that they will do the same thing to all the Maple Streets of the world.
I think of the three, The Monsters are Due on Maple Street was my favorite.

Thou, because I am wroth, be not dismayed, for I shall win the strife, whoever circle round within for the defence. This their insolence is not new, for of old they used it at a less secret gate, which still is found without a bolt. Above it thou didst see the dead inscription; and already on this side of it
descends the steep, passing without escort through the circles,
One such that by him the city shall be opened to us. |

I've been meaning to watch these. I just got the ST:TOS and am watching through those, but Twlight Zone is definitely next on my list.

I had to watch The Monsters are due on Maple Street in school, because we read the script in class. I don't know why. Anyway, it was on an old VHS, and while they were fast forwarding through, I saw the one with the nerd after the nuclear holocaust who's glasses break, and I was all like, "I remember that one!" Then nobody (including the teachers) had any idea what I was talking about, and then I was like "oh yeah, I'm in 7th grade in a class full of people who scoff at anything made before the new millennium.

The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street was great. I loved how they all started turning on each other.
