Don't believe I've ever seen a single episode.

I preferred watching "USA UP All Night w/ Rhonda Shear" when I was a youngster

Great and clever show.

Rush recorded a song about it for its 1976 masterpiece, 2112, called, suitably, “Twilight Zone”.

Thanks!  

Larry's younger sister Lyla lived right around the corner from me.  She looked like Larry, but with hair.  I used to eat at the same diner as she did.  Very friendly lady, she loved talking to fans about her brother.  I pretty sure she died in mid 2000's.

I love the marathons of this show. Serling was ahead of his time, but some of his ideas clash with my own.

Job sucks. going home on train every - always falls asleep, dreams of Andy Griffith life in a town called willaby.  One day he jumps off train. Dies and the Willaby Mortuary picks  up his carcas.

If you like that episode, check out the "Night Gallery", which was Serling's next TV show after the Twilight Zone. 

NG had much more macabre/horror content than TZ.

My favorite was one where this guy was a stressed out executive..car breaks down...starts walking and twilight zone leads him back to his childhood..he sees himself at 11 or 12 years old...that magical time ...the last bit of innocent boyhood...and he tries to go back...wants to see his parents..play baseball..go on the merry go round..he goes to his parents house/his old house and his Dad sees this dude in his 30's...dont know who he is although he looks very familiar...but basically says stay the fuck away from my son creep...finally his dad sees his drivers  license and knows its him...

He says "I don't know how or why you got here Martin...but you had your time...its 11 year olds Martins time now...you have to go back wherever you came from"....

Hit me...as that fucking summer of 12 years old man...soon you just want to get laid and get paid the rest of your life...but that summer when you turn 12....

Very special but very brief....and you can NEVER go back....

I forgot you're Canadian. LoL I used to frequent the trulyhuge.com/chat chat room back in late 90s/early 2000s and there be a fella on there who would talk about something called Rush (for the longest time I had no clue that Rush was even a band and to this day I have no idea who they are lol) and how they made the greatest music of all time or something and then somebody would agree and they'd go on and on about this Rush, and it would just so happen that everybody who talked about Rush in that chat room happened to be Canadian.

anyways... That's all. No real point to this post. Maybe ill YouTube this rush stuff after I make some mac n cheese lol

The Abe Linc-Ep was called "Back there".

"Walking Distance" from 1959 (season 1, I think).  One of my favorites because of it's theme.    The Lincoln one is too.  Rod Serling was great.  We don't have people like that these days or if there are any, Hollyweird keeps them out.   Too bad.    I enjoyed "Night Gallery" too and "The Outer Limits". 

Now they have "Game of Thrones" and "The Walking Dead" but they just don't appeal to me.  I've watched some shows like "Lucifer" and "Grimm" and they're okay but not nearly as great as Serling's stuff.

Yes, we have been discussing Walking Distance which i said gave me the feels, but then you said "It takes from there to back again."

So is Walking Distance taking from a novel called "There to back again"?

Not that I know of, but when I said that it takes you from there to back again it was because that is how it makes me feel.  Also, there is a Beach Boys song called "From There To Back Again" that gives me the same kind of feeling.  Good stuff for oldsters such as me.

And of course Tolkien's, "The Hobbit - Or There and Back Again." A masterpiece of a fantasy novella if ever there were one. 

Another great story that would've made a good TZ is 1938"s "Helen O'Loy".  It is excellent and variations on it's theme have been used more than once in literature and film/TV.   "The 9 Billion Names of God" is also very good short story.
