		<description>I like all the episodes the posters have mentioned.  The only one I think I would add, and I&#039;m not sure of the title, is Three O&#039;Clock.  A paranoid little man is in a room sharpening pencils and squealing on every person he finds who has done something wrong.  He believes that the people are evil, and he can shrink every person who is evil by willing it.  When the time comes for him to do it, he is shocked to find that he has shrunk in size.</description>

		<description>P.S.  The episode of the original series which featured the small time crook who thought he was in heaven was called A Nice Place To Visit.</description>

		<description>The episode that ends with a woman seeing a nuclear bomb about to hit with everyone frozen except for her is A Little Peace and Quiet.  It was part of CBS&#039;s first revival of Twilight Zone in the 1980s.  She finds an amulet in her garden which allows her to wander around freely with everyone frozen in time accept for her.  There was no ending commentary (unusual for Twilight Zone), just the image of the nuclear bomb about to hit.  We don&#039;t know if she decides to live her life alone, or start time going again and die with everyone else.  This is a theme that can be found throughout Twilight Zone. People need each other.  No man is an island.  In some episodes you really have to search for it.  In others, like this, it is plainly there.</description>

		<description>Tom,

In the episode I&#039;m thinking about, there was no elevator operator (and no question asked), but there was both a nurse and a stewardess who said, &quot;Room for one more, honey.&quot; A jar did break in the last few minutes but no elevator cables snapped.</description>

		<description>Mother Chat and Isabella:  Wasn&#039;t that the elevator thing I asked about above?  The elevator operator asked the question, the apple blossom scent jar broke and the cables snapped.</description>

		<description>I have so many favorites, many of which have been listed already.  But to add one which I haven&#039;t seen posted already (in my albeit quick scan) would be Night Call.  


...

An elderly, wheelchair-bound lady named Elva Keene receives strange anonymous phone calls. At first the caller says nothing, and all that can be heard is static. In subsequent calls, he can be heard moaning. After several calls, Elva says repeatedly, \Hello? Hello?\ The caller finally says slowly, garbled, and weakly, \Hello?\. Elva demands to know who is calling, but the only response is \Hello?\ Finally the caller manages to get out the words, \Where are you? I want to talk to you.\

Elva has had enough and screams at the man to leave her alone. There are no more calls and the phone company traces the source to a fallen telephone line.

Elva and her housekeeper visit the location of the line given by the telephone operator. To the astonishment of both, they find themselves at a cemetery, and they find that the line is resting on the grave of Elva&#039;s long-deceased fiancÃ©, Brian Douglas. Elva says that she always insisted upon having her own way, and Brian always did what she said. A week before they were to be married, she insisted upon driving, and lost control of the car. The accident left Brian dead, and she, a lonely cripple. Now she can talk to him again, she won&#039;t have to be alone.

At home, she picks up the phone and calls out to Brian. She pleads with him to answer so that she can talk to him. He replies that she has told him to leave her alone, and that he always does what she says. Then the line goes dead, leaving Elva alone and crying in her bed</description>

		<description>I&#039;m not sure if anyone mentioned this and I missed it, but can anyone tell me where I can find, or if I&#039;m off my rocker, a TZ episode in black and white that is the &quot;original&quot; version of the 80&#039;s Button Button?  I can still remember it, but was it a TZ or something else?  And, if you know of it, do you know where I can find it?  This has been driving me crazy for years! Thanks!</description>
