“‘M’ for Mankind”
This is rare that we have two stone-cold classics in “The Obsolete Man” starring our old friend, Burgess Meredith, the second season finale of Twilight Zone, and then we wrap it up tonight with “Two”, the third season premiere of Twilight Zone starring Charles Bronson and Elizabeth Montgomery. I couldn’t finish this season with only…

“Our Lips Are Sealed”
So, here we are again in the Privileged Men’s Club, Masters of the Universe, sitting in nicely-appointed surroundings, upholstered armchairs, pipes and cigars, pasty-faced old money and new money hob-knobbing, like they do. They still do it, but I don’t think the clubs exist anymore, or maybe they exist as fronts for lobbying-concerns and initiatives.…

“Men Are from Mars”
I want to start off by saying I love Burgess Meredith. He’s exceptional in just about everything he ever did. If you wanted Burgess Meredith, you got Burgess Meredith as – the Penguin in Batman, as Henry Bemis, the man who breaks his glasses after a nuclear apocalypse, as the “Dingle” here, as “The Obsolete…

“Room for One More, Honey”
So, we have two episodes that are personal favorites of mine. I love these episodes, and yes, they do have numbers in their titles. I remember posting on the Twilight Zone Facebook group, asking how many people could name episodes with numbers in their titles. I got a lot of responses; it’s a great crowd…
