Mr. Bevis 11-25-2003, 01:02 PM I feel like trying an experiment. This point system is borrowed from the Village Voice critics' poll for the 10 best albums of the year (also known as the Pazz and Jop Poll).
In that poll--and in this experiment--you have 100 points to divide among your Top Ten choices. You must give each choice a minimum of 5 points, and the maximum for any one choice is 30 points. Otherwise, you can spread them around any way you want.
My Top Ten list of TZ episodes looks like this:
1. Kick The Can--25 points
2. The Dummy--16 points
3. The After Hours--13 points
4. Nick Of Time--11 points
5. One For The Angels--8 points
6. Time Enough At Last--7 points
7. Five Characters ISO An Exit--5 points
8. Living Doll--5 points
9. Long Distance Call--5 points
10. Monsters Are Due On Maple Street--5 points
Wish I could've given "KTC" 30 pts., but the other episodes are great, too. Does anyone else want to try this? What are your thoughts about this system?

OH Nuts! 10-13-2012, 09:28 AM There are so many GREAT TZ eps I gotta put on my thinking cap to narrow down to ten. But definitely "To Serve Man", "Living Doll" and "Night of The Meek" will be Part of the 10. My #1 is definitely "To Serve Man". Sigh, so many wonderful eps, how does one choose ONLY ten! (Scratches head)
OH Nuts! 10-23-2012, 08:53 AM Twilight Zone was maybe the best-written show ever. My favorites?

Know this is a response to an old post BUT I just had to chime in my adoration of this program too. Rod Serling was a genius AND there is no question it was one of the best written shows ever. There are and were many clever and highly stimulating shows but I KNOW on my list of BEST SHOWS EVER TZ clocks in at #3 - right behind All In The Family (#2) and I Love Lucy (#1).
