Twilight Zone Reviews (Spoiler Warnings!)

[avonleastories95]

As I said in the failed Discussion thread, Twilight Zone is my second favorite series to Faerie Tale Theatre. I have decided to take time to review 20 of my favorites, and then some. I hope you get a chance to read and possibly give suggestions on which episodes you'd like to see me review. So far, I have planned
Where is Everybody?
Mr. Denton on Doomsday
Time Enough At Last
A Stop at Willoughby
Monsters are Due on Maple Street
The After Hours
Howling Man
Eye of the Beholder
Lateness of the Hour
Trouble With Templeton
Night of the Meek
The Invaders
A Game Of Pool
It's A Good Life
and many others

Where is Everybody?

I actually just watched this one the other night, and thought it was quite good. Can't wait to read your reviews.

I can't wait to start writing! I'll probably start with Changing of the Guard.

So sorry I have been late with this!
Night of the Meek
Starring:
Art Carney
John Fielder
Written By: Rod Serling
Directed By: Jack Smight

Overview: Harry Corwin (Art Carney) is a department store Santa Claus. He has six drinks at Jack's (Jack was not there, it was Bruce) and a sandwich for $3.80. Harry wonders why there is not a real Santa Claus for kids. Bruce thinks Corwin is too attached to his job, and thinks he's a nut. As he leaves the bar, two children come to him and tell their Christmas wishes. And then Mr. Serling appears with the opening narration
"This is Mr. Harry Corwin, normally unemployed, who every Christmas, takes up the insitiution of a roadcompany version of A Night Before Christmas. Very soon, he will enter a strange kind of North Pole, which is one part the spirit of Christmas, and the magic wwhich can only be found in the Twilight Zone."
SPOILERS: Read at own risk
Corwin is later fired for his drunkeness. He finds an empty bag, but he thinks again and it is filled with presents. He then finds a church, and delievers everyone's heart's desire. He is perceived as a "Gift Theif" by the Sr. . He is later taken down to a police station, and of course, his boss is there. He seems very happy to see his St. Nick go up the river. But the bag has changed over to cans. But then, Mr. Dundee asks for Cherry Brandy, vintage 1903. And Mr Corwin gives out gifts for the remainder of the evening. An old man sees him and says "Nothing for you!" Corwin replies "I got a chance to be the greatest gift giver of all time." "I only wish I could do this every year." He gets his wish. An elf comes in a sleigh, and takes Corwin off to the North Pole.
Words: My favorite episode. It can also be one of the better Christmas specials I have seen.
Rating: 10/10

Not one of the episodes I've seen, so I didn't want to venture too far into the spoilers. What I read was wonderful though. Just a thought, you should post which season the episodes come from.
