Notice some episodes have a weird coming on and going off time. I just wanted to let everybody on here know that these episodes are scheduled to play.

COOL!!!!! I have to see this. Did Julie Newmar play in other episodes?

Did you see that episode I think it is called "Doctor and The Nurse"? It was about that girl whose face was wrapped up and thought that she was weird looking compared to everyone else, when it was really those other people who were weird looking and she was normal? That was a great episode. I can't wait for the marathon.

Julie was only in one episode. Too bad she didn't appear in more.

I love that episode! I read books over TZ and I was pretty surprised that they had two actresses playing the girl. Donna Douglas (Elly Mae on BH) played the character after the bandages are unwrapped, but another actress was under the bandages in the beginning.

My mother said that was Elly Mae from BH but she looked really different, I said it wasn't. None of these actors look the same anymore. :( Oh well. Thanks for posting the schedule Jenny :wave:

Oh, you should see Burgess in his episodes. I swear he looks so different in every episode he was in. Your welcome. Hmm, I'm not doing anything right now. I'll try to dig up some pics from Burgess and Julie's appearances.

That is indeed him. Here comes some pics from Julie's episode. She looks a little different from her Batman days, but you can still tell it's Julie.

Whats those things on her head?


I can't wait until these episodes air!!!!!

Thanks Jenny :wave:

As many times as I've seen some of these episodes, it still surprises how many people were on TZ. You had Jack Klugman, Burgess Meredith, Leonard Nimoy, William Shatner, Julie Newmar, Telly Sulvalas (sp?). Geez, even Carol Burnett was in an episode. Ted Knight, isn't that his name from the Mary Tyler Moore Show was in an episode. You'll have to really look closely for Ted. He isn't the main player in his episode.

I've seen this one episode called The New Exhibit numerous times. The main guy looked very familiar to me, but I just couldn't place his name for anything. I was talking to one of my friends one night and he said that it was Martin Balsam (Murray on Archie Bunker's Place) I went back and looked at the episode and sure enough, it was him.

Here's a pic of Martin's episode.

She has devil horns on her head. How's this for a name- Miss Devilin. That's her character name in the ep. I think that's how she spelled it. I think you'll like the episodes that the Batman actors were in. Each one of them has an awesome ending.

I swear I can't spell tonight. lol

I had to edit 4 posts already because of either bad grammer or wrong spelling lol so I know what you mean.

Um, let me check. I don't see it in my TZ post. I'll check scifi's website and see if they made any changes to the schedule. If they did and added that ep, I'll come back and post again.

Unfortunately, it isn't scheduled to play during the big marathon. However, you will get a chance to see it.

Anytime and your welcome. :) I'm glad I could help. :)

For those wanting to watch or record the marathon my schedule is the E/P times. Just wanted to clear that up because I think I left that out of my original post. Sorry about that.

I'm watching this episode right now. Thanks Jenny for posting this, I would have never known about it. It's great to have a member like you around. I can't wait until the episodes with Burgess air.




Happy New Year,
Chris :santa:

Chris,

I'm glad you got the chance to see them. I'll keep you updated on the Burgess episode that they aren't playing in this marathon. That would be Mr. Dingle, the Strong.

I am a complete ditz though, I posted some of the Batman stars but I forgot about a few of them. I caught The Dummy episode and seen Cliff Robertson and it hit me that I forgot to post that ep. I'll keep you updated on that episode since I forgot to post it before. The Dummy episode is fantastic. I won't give away details, you just have to see it.

Stafford Repp was in an episode called The Graves. He had a bit part in that episode. I don't think they showed that one, so I'll keep you updated on that one too.

You're very welcome. :)

Oh yeah, for those that haven't seen too many TZ episodes before and you caught this marathon- you should know that they are lumping the hour long eps together. I should tell everybody that the hour episodes aren't that great. That's kind of expected though. All shows must have a few rotten eggs, and season 4 is filled with them. I love TZ and all that, but the hour long (season 4) only have a few good episodes (Cliffordville, Printers Devil, Jess-Belle, Thursday We Leave for Home, The New Exhibit, Miniature, and 30 Fathom Grave ) are really the most notable of that season. Other than that, I would rank that the weakest season.

If you caught a few hour episodes and thought they sucked, try catching the 30 minute episodes. I swear the 30 minute ones are way better.

I loved this episode. The story was great.

Is Burgess a smoker in real life? I noticed he smoked in Batman, Gloria, and the TZ episodes and wondered if he really is a smoker in real life.

I agree that the 30 minute episodes are better than the 1 hour episodes.

Hmm, I think I read that he used to smoke a lot and he gave it up. Here's the cool part when he got the Penguin role, you know how he quacks in that role. The smoke irritated his throat and instead of coughing, he would make the little quacks. I thought that was pretty cool.

Imo, the hour long eps jumped the shark. Most of the really good writers, including Rod didn't provide many scripts for that season. Rod chipped in a few scripts during 4 and 5, but he was out of material. I think he did over 90 out of the 156 eps, so he was pretty much out of material. That's why he left. He continued to do the narrations and stuff like that, and that's basically why Rod appears in a seperate room during season 4 and 5 instead of stepping into the first scenes and saying the narration. They would catch him when they could and he would film the openings and that would be it.

At least they had sense enough to realize that the hour long eps just weren't working. Season 5 it improved definitely.

Basically, you can count it as two different shows in a way. The Rod years will always show up as 'The Twilight Zone' when the opening credits come up. The non- Rod years will just be 'Twilight Zone'. I had never noticed that name change before until I read those Rod biographies. Never even noticed they dropped the word 'The'.

I kind of wish they would bring back 'Night Gallery'. That was another Rod Serling show. I taped an episode a few years ago and I never got around to watching it and I accidentally recorded over it.

Anyway, Adam West was in an episode of Night Gallery. I'll try to hunt up a few pics of his appearance, but I'm not sure if I can find any. NG just wasn't that popular, I don't think. It'd be kind of rare if you went to yahoo and typed in Night Gallery websites and a bunch of websites popped up.

Let me look.

Whoa, I found one good NG website. Looks like Burgess was on an episode of that too. Once again, he looks mighty different.

Some of you might be wondering why I'm leaving this topic as a sticky since the TZ marathon is over. I thought I could leave it up for a few more weeks and update the post for those that missed the Batman actors on TZ or the ones that they didn't show on the marathon.

08-JAN-03 12:30 PM THE TWILIGHT ZONE THE OBSELETE MAN (Burgess episode) They did show it during the marathon.
08-JAN-03 12:30 AM THE TWILIGHT ZONE THE OBSELETE MAN

21-JAN-03 12:30 PM THE TWILIGHT ZONE THE DUMMY (Cliff Robertson (Shame) episode) They did show it during the marathon.
21-JAN-03 12:30 AM THE TWILIGHT ZONE THE DUMMY

You might want to go to scifi's website and check the time zones for your area.

Chris,

Here's the pics of Cloris on TZ. Her episode is called "It's a Good Life" Billy Mumy is the little boy in the episode. Her character is the little boy's mother.

She looks young. Her hair looks different. I must see that episode. I'll search Sci Fi's schedule to see if it's airing anytime soon.

Thanks Jenny :)

I just searched through the schedule, but I didn't see it on there. This might be a very dumb question, but why does Scifi insist on keeping Dec.'s schedule up? It's not like I can rewind back to Dec. 2nd if I missed something.

Okay, they do have Feb.'s schedule extended. Here's some more Batman related eps.

01-FEB-03 11:00 AM THE TWILIGHT ZONE OF LATE I THINK OF CLIFFORDVILLE- Julie Newmar (This is an hour long episode)

02-FEB-03 5:00 AM THE TWILIGHT ZONE THE GRAVE- Stafford Repp (You really have to look hard for him. He isn't the main player in this ep.)

http://www.thetzsite.com/images/season3/072_21.jpg He's the guy in the hat. I got the pic from the Fifth Dimension website. Please click on the link in my above post to visit the page.

25-FEB-03 12:00 AM THE TWILIGHT ZONE MR. DINGLE, THE STRONG - Burgess Meredith

Through out most of Repp's entire career he was in fact very rarely (if ever) the main player. Had he not been a regular on Batman no one watching tv would have ever probably cared who he even was. And that's a fact!

Just wanted to post and let everybody know that I'm unsticking the thread. I'll still keep you updated about it. I can always bump the topic up, but I'm unsticking. :)
