This is Day #26 of the 30 Day Television Challenge


The prompt: A scene or episode you loved or hated in a television series or mini-series.

I don't know this is hard - I don't tend to remember episodes or scenes from television series with few exceptions.

And I think I already used those shows. So in order to make this one possible for me to do and everyone else? No rules, do whatever you want.

I'm picking a Twilight Zone Episode. So yes, you can do stuff that predates the dawn of time, if you so desire. Sorry I got aggravated.

Time Enough at Last - starring Burgess Meredith sticks with me. I wouldn't say I loved it. I'd say it scares the bejesus out of me.

but lately, I've been thinking that Serling wanted to say something about how we're all interconnected in this world, whether we like it or not. Henry gets his desire to be alone with his books, but without society (specifically, his optometrist), he's stranded in the rubble.

Oh definitely. There's the whole set-up, Burgess' character is constantly being interrupted, people are getting in the way. Finally, they are all gone - and damn, he can't read - without their help - because there's no one to fix the glasses or read him a book.

The books in of themselves aren't enough.

I'll pass on Night Gallery - I've enough troubles sleeping. Actually Haunting of Bly Manor - made sleep difficult for a couple of nights.

[ETA - The episode from Night Gallery that haunts me - is the one in which a man flushes a spider down the sink, comes back, and it's bigger, he does it again, and it's bigger still..that kind of killed Night Gallery for me for eternity.]
