My fav:

8) Time Enough at Last (November 20, 1959)

Featuring Burgess Meredith, Jacqueline DeWitt and Vaughn Taylor

So damn cruel!

Probably mine as well.

I have a couple of favorites... first and foremost:

150) Stopover in a Quiet Town (April 24, 1964)
Written by Earl Hamner, Jr. Directed by Ronald Winston
Featuring Barry Nelson and Nancy Malone
A married couple wake up with a hangover in a most unusual house. The town outside is devoid of any people, and then cannot find any way to escape. They start to hear the laugh of a little girl, then that little girl reaches down and picks them up as they are now the dolls of a giant alien.

and then...

134) You Drive (January 3, 1964)
Written by Earl Hamner, Jr. Directed by John Brahm
Featuring Edward Andrews, Helena Westcott and Kevin Hagen
A man hits a paperboy while driving one day and tries to keep his crime a secret. However, his car has other ideas. It drives itself to the crime scene, it honks its horn late at night, and after chasing him down it drives him to the police department.

and...

75) The Midnight Sun (November 17, 1961)
Written by Rod Serling Directed by Tony Leader
Featuring Lois Nettleon, Betty Garde and Tom Reese
The world is coming to an end because the Earth is getting closer to the sun every day. Two women in a deserted apartment building try and cope with the heat, but one dies and the other passes out. When she comes to, she learns the Earth is actually heading away from the sun.

and finally...

22) The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street (March 4, 1960)
Written by Rod Serling Directed by Ronald Winston
Featuring Claude Akins and Jack Weston
A block of Maple Street is perplexed when all electricity fails to work. Riots break out after they come to believe the problem is because of an alien invasion and one of them is an intruder. The blackout is revealed to be the plan of two aliens who were not part of the Maple Street block.

75) The Midnight Sun (November 17, 1961)
22) The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street (March 4, 1960)

Two of my favs for sure.

Also...

51) The Invaders (January 27, 1961)
Written by Richard Matheson Directed by Douglas Heyes
Featuring Agnes Moorehead
A small flying saucer lands in the attic of an isolated house inhabited by a lonely old woman. A battle develops between the little astronauts and the woman, with the woman prevailing in the end. She destroys the saucer with an ax. The side of the saucer reads U.S. Air Force.

 

[Iron Woode]

The best are:

The Lonely: a powerfull episode.

The Shelter: another powerfull episode which I think is one of the best ever. (the website link describes a UFO sighting. That is wrong. It was a nuclear attack by Russia. It turned out to be low flying satelites)

Eye of the Beholder: what a cool but weird ending.

Night of the Meek: quite possibly the best Christmass story ever.

 

[Bobomatic]

89) To Serve Man (March 2, 1962)
Written by Rod Serling Story by Damon Knight Directed by Richard L. Bare
Featuring Richard Kiel, Lloyd Bochner and Susan Cummings
A race of aliens known as the Kanamits land on Earth and promise to be nothing but helpful. They eradicate hunger, war, and expensive power sources. All is not well, however, when a decoder discovers the Kanamit's true intentions. Their book, To Serve Man, is actually a cookbook.

 

[Jzero]

The Midnight Sun sounds remarkably like an episode of the old Outer Limits in which the entire episode is spent with a guy trying to cope with outrageous heat and no food or water and he and one other person seem to be the only place left on earth.
At the end, his fever breaks and he awakens from his hallucination to find that he and the other person really are the only person left on earth except it is freezing cold and there is no food or water.

My favorites:
#42, The Eye Of The Beholder, cleverly filmed so that you never see anyone's face but you never really give it a second thought until the end.
#65, The Obsolete Man
#86 Kick The Can
#89, To Serve Man (Who can ever forget IT'S A COOKBOOK!!!!)
#123 Nightmare at 20000 Feet
#142 An Occurrence At Owl Creek Bridge (Which I have never seen and didn't even know was a TZ episode until now)

Favorites I don't remember the name to:
The one where the guy flips a coin and it lands on its edge (I think that's #52 A Penny For Your Thoughts).
Oh, and the one about the mannequins who get to be "real" for a brief period of time....

And wasn't there one about people who were basing their lives on a computer's orders?

The Outer Limits came years after TZ. But copying ideas is nothing new.

The stories you allude to are:

#52 is the right one
The After Hours
The Old Man in the Cave

 

[Iron Woode]

There are actually about 5 or so episodes that were aired but never made it into syndication.

I have a list of them somewhere. If I find it, I will post it.

 

[Jzero]

The After Hours
The Old Man in the Cave

Those are the ones!! Thanks

I only got my tv tuner two weeks ago but i've started capturting twilight zones, they are on very often..12 and 12:30 AM(night) on SCIFI, and 5:30(i think) TNT, then again at 12:00 or so PM (all times PST)

I can't say my favorite because I haven't seen tons of them, but here's my smal collection so far

I can't seem to find the "Talking Tina" episode on the list. Remember, the talking doll that trys to kill the dad. That one was so creepy.

126) Living Doll (November 1, 1963)
Written by Jerry Sohl Directed by Richard C. Sarafian
Featuring Telly Savalas, Mary LaRoche and Tracy Stratford
A man's stepdaughter brings home an unusual doll that says things like "I'm going to kill you." The man tries various ways to get rid of the doll, but only succeeds in alienating his family. The doll gets its revenge when the man falls down the stairs and dies.

 

[Iron Woode]

Here is some interesting trivia:

The episode The 16mm Shrine was basically copied and used in a Columbo episode. What's even more weird is that it is the exact same house that is used for both episodes.

Dwell:

The story you refer to is The Living Doll. starring Telly Savalas.

 

[Tangerine]

Ok my attention span is too short to read that whole list, but my favorite is the one where the guy is on an airplane, looking out the window freaking out because there's a big hairy wookie on the wing. Remember that one?

[Zim Hosein]

[FeathersMcGraw]

Classic TZ:

An Occurence at Owl Creek Bridge
Eye of the Beholder

New TZ:

Shatterday
To See the Invisible Man
A Message for Charity

Isn't there another TZ series coming out soon?

 

[Ferocious]

Nightmare at 20,000 and Living doll....are definately two of my favorites.

ALSO,another one with William Shatner....about the diner that has the joker/gizmo which answers questions with generic responses.....just one more penny...lol.

There's one with this older guy that violates his own rule and starts to play a slot machine....then he becomes super addicted....awesome episode.

 

[Parrotheader]

The Hitch-Hiker (January 22,1960)

"A woman driving cross-country suffers a minor tire blowout in Pittsburgh and afterwards is constantly menaced by a nondescript hitch-hiker. After placing a call to her home, she discovers that she actually died because of the blowout and that the hitch-hiker is Mr. Death."

I actually remember reading this story back in 6th grade (and hearing the radio version) and then saw the episode many years later. The radio version was actually a little better than the TV episode since the hitch-hiker character seemed more menacing, but it was the tension built up as she kept repeatedly passing this shadowy figure that I really enjoyed.

 

[AZGamer]

1. To Serve Man
2. The Hitchhiker

18) The Last Flight (February 5, 1960)
