Let's see how many of you young whippersnappers get this. If you're over 45 and don't get it, you should have watched more TV back then.

Thank God for youtube, otherwise this young whippersnapper would have 0 clue lol.

Some of those twighlight zone episodes are timeless classics.

Are Twilight Zone episodes on YouTube? Awesome. I was rewatching on Paramount+ with my daughter a few years ago. We only got about halfway through season one. She liked it, but she got distracted. We should go back to them.

I'm a whippersnapper and I get it. My grandfather talks about this episode all the time, he loved it.

One of the best episodes. It was remade with John Lithgow for Twilight Zone: The Movie. It was still good, but even with the better effects, it lost some of the tension of the original.

I remember seeing the Lithgow version when I was a kid. Didn't see the original until much later in life. And then promptly lost my shit.

And on third rock from the sun Lithgow is visited by the big giant head played by Shatner and they make a joke about this
