Like for someone who has NEVER seen the series before. Which episode would you show them to get them interested and so that they might check out more?

I introduced 3 friends of mine to the show in the late 80's with "Five Characters in Search of an Exit" & it worked so well they were literally begging me to lend them more of my tapes.

Funny, to me that's one of the worst episodes.

It's "Eye of the Beholder" for me. My mother made me watch it when I was maybe 12 or 13 and I was hooked for life.

A lot of people consider it to be among the best and I've seen it ranked in the top 10/20 of many lists. There's also those that don't care for it which is fine I have a friend that can't stand it but she absolutely adores "The After Hours" and that one is in my top 20 list of least favorite episodes.


When I introduced my friends to the show I gave them a tape with 5 episodes including that one which was first. The others I used were:

"Eye of the Beholder"
"Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up"
"Living Doll"
"Nightmare at 20,000 Feet"

All were under age 10 at the time and they eventually got through the entire series.

"Nervous Man In A Four Dollar Room"
"The Hitchhiker"
"Elgy"
"The Monsters Are Due On Maplestreet"
"A Thing About Machines"

"The Odyssey of Flight 33"
