A classic Twillight Zone episode starring a young Shatner

Bad Twilight Zone?
I'm hard-pressed to come up with one.  Their quality-control standards were pretty stiff:  Rod had hands-on Production credits on every episode, even the ones he didn't write or direct.  Buck Houghton, the Line Producer, was highly literate and they threw away a lot of scripts for every one they shot.
I used to think that the quasi-silent one with Buster Keaton as a time-traveler was pretty weak, but I had occasion to see it again with new eyes last month and . . . pretty damn good, really.  A lot of classic comic bits strung together.
Nope, can't think of one --

I can't think of a bad one either.  I remember watching the marathons and glued to the set.  Another I like came to mind about the bet where the man couldn't talk for a whole year or something...only to find out ****spoiler*****that he cut off his tounge and the man didn't have the money to pay him.  Of course there are some that you like better than others, but I too cannot think of one where I sat there and said "This is stupid".

You know, I inadvertanly downloaded "Where is Everybody" but watched it anyway lol.  I couldn't download the Invaders though :(.  But I can buy on Amazon...or rent on netflix I think.  Thanks for the info.  A lot easier when you know the name, season and episode.

Twilight Zone episodes only fit two categories, good and great.

My personal favorite would have to be "The Monsters are due on Maple Street", because it did what the best of TZ alway does, teach us something about ourselves.

"The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts... attitudes... prejudices. To be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill, and suspicion can destroy, and the thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all its own for the children, and the children yet unborn. And the pity of it is that these things cannot be confined to The Twilight Zone."

Yep, that's a good one, too.  It was one of the ones remade by the 2002 Twilight Zone.  I thought the remake was not too bad, either.

was this the one with the bomb shelter?
