2/3 of the episodes are mediocre or worse.

oh and also the monsters are due on maple street, the shelter, and one of my personal favorites, One More Pallbearer. so many feels were had in that one.
will there ever be a show with as consistently quality writing?

now I know it's YOU who hasn't seen all of them.
I'd say about 60 are really fucking fantastic. about 50 are good. 20 are so-so, and 20 are awful. (mostly anything from season 4, because the plots were too long due to CBS time schedule shift)

It sounds like we more or less agree actually and I just have a harsher view of the 100 non good episodes, but your original statement was circle jerk hyperbole. There are plenty of episodes that are really weak and a waste of time. Consistency (quality wise) is certainly not a hallmark of this show

I like the one where it's a guy that wanted to be alone so he hid in a plane but then he looked outside and it was death that came to kill him but then a venusian came and stopped death by revealing his third eye because he knew that would happen because he read it in the Devil's newpaper

Walking Distance is the correct answer. Serling handles nostalgia achingly well and gives the best closing narration of the series. The acting is superb and the soundtrack is spot on.

I imagine it is going to only get better the older someone gets. Truly a beautiful and bittersweet slice of television.

Yeah, if you go back and watch it again you'll notice it's one of only 5 episodes shot on tape so it has a different feel to it.

The story also ended up in the Twilight Zone movie, iirc.

>Just a barrel, a dark depository where are kept the counterfeit, make-believe pieces of plaster and cloth, wrought in a distorted image of human life. But this added, hopeful note: perhaps they are unloved only for the moment. In the arms of children, there can be nothing but love. A clown, a tramp, a bagpipe player, a ballet dancer, and a major. Tonight's cast of players on the odd stage—known as—The Twilight Zone.

>For extra money in his college years, Serling worked part-time testing parachutes for the United States Army Air Forces. According to his radio-station coworkers, he received $50 for each successful jump and had once been paid $500 (half before and half if he survived) for a hazardous test.[30] His last test jump was a few weeks before his wedding. He made $1000 testing a newly invented jet ejection seat. Serling survived the test, but barely.[clarification needed] Serling later told friends three other men had been killed before he made the test.

based indeed
