What a great eye! A Stop at Willoughby is one of my favorite Twilight Zone episodes. Arthur Dark from Hollywood Graveyard uses it as the bases of his video of Rod Serling and his Twilight Zone. I got the idea of putting a gazebo in my backyard from this episode.
Next Stop at Willoughby is one of my favorite episodes too!
.. push push push .. this is my favorite one also .. 😂
Those are famous New York skyscrapers in midtown Manhattan. Of course they would use that for a story about an advertising executive! And since NYC is a prime example of a big Eastern city, it only makes sense to use it again. A lot of television programs were still originating from New York at that time. And yes, “A Stop at Willoughby” is one of my favorites!
The beauty of these quality shows from the early and cheap days was the scripts and acting were so tremendous that you did not notice the cheap sets since you became so absorbed in the stories.
I agree!!!
Right on!!!
Your trivia commentary is fun I like it
It's called A Stop AT Willoughby, not 'from.' A single word can make a difference. I like the episode. The interesting twist at the end is why I like it.
😮
How did it end? My guess is that once he stepped into a town like Heaven, it wasn't. Just a guess, any help would be appreciated.
@@chrisjas3129It's on RUclips, just search a stop at willoughby twilight zone ending. I tried to post it but for some ridiculous reason RUclips no longer allows it.
@@chrisjas3129
I don't want to ruin the twist. Let's just say that at the end of the episode, he looked very happy with his choice, perhaps he DID find Heaven.
@@kurtbarlow9402 ty, 👍😊
I've never considered "Willoughby" to be dark or morbid. The man gets to leave his miserable life behind and stay in Willoughby forever. That's his perception of the situation.
@Freya Tait I have to agree with you about the ending. He stayed in that town of his own free will. It seemed like he was happy to be there to me. If I am not mistaken it ended with him fishing in a lake with a local boy he had met. It seemed very peaceful and innocent to me.
This was a good one. I still remember it and I haven't seen it in decades
@@emerycandy326 Wasn't it ended...with the train killing him..then showing him in Willoughby.
The nice part about it is he gets spared the very mechanic and experience of his death.
@@marilynbrown5274 Come to think it I'm not sure. Maybe it did. If so that would've a dark twist to the ending. I just rember him falling asleep and waking up in.Willoughby and deciding to stay . I'll have to watch it again. It has been twenty years since I last watched that episode.
It's a PUSH, PUSH, PUSH business!
It’s push push push all the way all the time. Right on down the line. lol
"A Stop At Willoughby" is my all-time favorite. I personally didn't see anything morbid about the ending. The poor man was finally at peace, and more importantly away from that wicked witch of a wife he had. Thanks for pointing out the same background scenery on both episodes. I never noticed it before.
There was a slight smile on his face.
But the shocking thing is three weeks later they repainted that background and it's in another episode, and two months later another paint job.... by the end of the run it had 642 coats of paint and was then turned into the background of Alice's bedroom on The Brady Bunch, they cut the "Mommy why is Alice screaming in the middle of the night" episode.
Yes, I've always liked this episode. I think it's "The Twilight Zone" at its best. A similar but even greater episode is "Walking Distance."
Both are excellent but glad you mentioned it!
The blonde was gorgeous in Walking Distance
@@user-rq7el8nh6q What blonde?
I never thought his death was a suicide, per se. I think it's possible that Gart was walking in his dream too quick for anyone to stop him, and when he stepped off the dream train into Willoughby/Heaven, he finally made his way home...safely away from his gold-digging wife and slave driving boss.
I think that you hit it on the head of the nail.
Always one of my favorite Twilight zone episodes, James Daly went on to play Mr Flint in Star Trek years later in the episode Requiem for Methuselah, he's the father of actress Tyne Daly
Also Tim Daly's dad.
He was also Chad Everett's boss in Medical Center. Loved that show.
By the way, that's Orson Bean as Mr. Bevis!
Oh yes, Orson Bean was a fun and remarkable actor. It still pains me, that at age 91, Mr. Bean (in good mind and health) was struck down by a careless driver while crossing a street in Venice California (February 2020). RIP good sir.
I remember Orson Bean when he was 28, when he replaced Jackie Gleason for a few episodes of his
show in the mid 1950's, when Gleason broke his leg! It's a shame that Bean died, when hit by a car! R.I.P.!
He played “Norman” on Two and a Half Men
I thought that was Orson Bean - I always liked him all through the years! 😊
The late great Jim Hutton played a Character named "Gart" as well in an Episode about Astronauts.🤔🎤👨🚀👨🚀🚀🌚📺B.W.
The ending to this episode is wonderful. A perfect ending to the story.
Fun Fact: It was a major inspiration for "Mad Men" My personal favorite episode ever.
I think the same city skyline was used in the Episode "A World of Difference." It was in season 1 episode 23. The episode involves a man that finds himself not in his office but as an actor on a movie set. Great episode!
I didn't think the ending was morbid.
I didn't either! When friends and family die you almost all the time hear it said or written about the deceased that----"he/she's going home." And so it was here.
Anybody else miss "the shocking revelation hidden for 64 years"?
Yes! What's that all about?
Haha troll
@@ricknineg Troll-bait... that is an apt description.
Same backdrop in two episodes.
The ending is great, he finally got to Willoughby.
"A Stop at Willoughby" and "Walking Distance" are my two favorite Twilight Zone episodes. Probably because I could relate to the stories in my own life in the past.
I love both episodes. Wow! I never noticed this before. Why have a great Mat painting go to waste.
That's what I always say -- waste not want not. Plus the staircase in the aptment building was used before.
In actuality the audience isn't even expected to notice the backdrop..just the action going on in the scene.that way they can get away with saving money like using sets and props over and over.
Agreed. So many of these "revelations" have only come to light with the advent of being able to watch these over and over now...
L O V E the ending of this episode more so than any other TZ episode in any season!
I really did enjoy this episode as well. One of my favourites. I have a similar feeling of sadness for the ending. But being a positive person myself … I choose to believe that he found heaven at the end of the episode.
I love a stop at Willoughby because as an adult we wish we could go back to a simpler time and there's a town in NE Ohio by the same name.
There's a Willoughby in (Southern) Ontario, Canada as well. A pretty and quiet farming community.
You can have your Stop at Willoughby by making your Zero Birthday card, because when you change your beginning, you change everything. Make your Zero Birthday card, and put your Halo-0-on-how else can you be seen from above?
I live near Lake Willoughby in Vermont.
I never noticed the same backdrop, another good catch. I don’t think the ending is morbid, I think it’s very sad. And the twist is quite interesting and telling.
When you get to my age and your next stop really could be Willoughby, this show kind of takes on a little different meaning. Hope the afterlife is as pleasant.
It’s better 😊
One of the best episodes, sad ending..
A Stop At Willoughby is my favorite Twilight Zone episode.
I love the ending !! it could not have been better .
ALWAYS love all the info that you share with us... but as a amateur film producer, I have learned that if people are looking to the foreground as the story is being played... you have lost your audience. Plus back in the sixties you wouldn't see this again (maybe in a rerun during the summer) but in this day we are able to see it as many times as we want. Plus finding continuity mishaps it is much easier, but you are so right that they will use the same props just to keep the cost down. I love the Twilight Zone and I always appreciate what you bring to us with these hidden gems!
I like "Walking Distance" better than "A Stop at Willoughby", from earlier that season. It has less of that cloying repeating "the present day is terrible compared to the past" message, and is more sweet and sentimental. I watched it on PlutoTV the other day, and I really enjoyed it all over again.
This is one of my favorite episodes!
I'm 77 & when T.V. was in its heyday, in the 50's & 60's, shows had 30 or more episodes, per year ( up to 39)!
With that "breakneck" pace, sets & backgrounds, must have been used & reused, frequently! If you go further
back to early 1950's television dramas, their sets were little more than what you would see, at a high school play!
I loved Willoughby. I loved the ending. He made it home.
After reading the comments here, I realized that one of the best parts of TZ is that some endings can have more than one interpretation. I thought the same as you, Rick. I don't think any interpretation is wrong.
It’s always cool to see stuff like this. Thank you for the video Rick, I hope you’re doing well. Keep up the great work and take care!
Love it. Love the twilight zone. Keep up the great work
Thank you so much!
4:15 you got some splainin' to do
😏
Willoughby is my second favorite episode, (For me, #1 is "And When the Sky was Opened"). I spent over 30 years as a police officer in a big city, and there were MANY times that I thought of Willoughby and wished I could be there. I have a strange story about that, but this isn't the place to share it:). BTW, you've earned a new subscriber!
Not exactly shocking but interesting enough
I think we all noticed various things in programs, cartoons and movies. But remember everything was new in a limited format than what we are used to today. Writing and acting was good and the stories held our imaginations. We made the leap to black and white that still held us in its thrall. Such great memories of an era long gone. 😎🤙
(This is Tom, not Sandra.)
"Willoughby" is one of my favorite TWZ episodes. Loved the train Conductor yelling: 'Willoughby' next stop 'Willoughby', every-so-often, too. Loved the "Cavendish" episode, too. The "Mr. Bevis" episode was also a favorite of mine.
I was surprised to see that we most likely can thank Rod Serling for the name Beavis in Beavis and Butthead. lol
I never noticed it before." A Stop At Willoughby" is one of my favorites.
I love it when you point these details out. I bet those who worked on the show hoped we would make the connection. Thank you for being a bright spot in my day.
Great eyes, Rick! Maybe losing Gart Williams ruined Mr. Misrell's (sounds a lot like miserable, probably intetionally) agency so quickly that he had to abandon his office & let Mr. Bevis' employer take over the location. ;)
Nice call-back at the end to your old pronunciation "Willowee". I'm glad you can pronounce it now. :)
“THIS IS A PUSH BUSINESS WILLIAMS. A PUSH PUSH PUSH BUSINESS. PUSH AND DRIVE! ITS PUSH PUSH PUSH ALL THE WAY ALL THE TIME RIGHT ON DOWN THE LINE!” Was my alarm every morning for years
That one clip you showed with the double doors with the door. knobs in the middle. They had the same door set up in the TV series "Family Affair."
To those of us who know, this is cool. To those who don't, it is amazing! Those of us who know found out from somewhere, it may as well be you. Great job!
We all have a willoughby somewhere in our minds. Question is what will it take to get you off the train…
I enjoy this kind of trivia! The very first time I noticed this kind of "stuff" when I was a youngster I asked my older brothers "Why did everyone were the same clothes week after week after week on the show Bonanza?" Both of my brothers gave me some wacked answers that I've forgotten all these years later. but, it made me start really analyzing what I was watching and seeing if I could catch a few "Whoops" and to my surprise, I caught many over the years. I did find out that the main reason the Bonanza Gang wore the same clothes was that the producers of the show could use stock footage already shot to save money! Great channel Rick! MOO From COW-lumbus, Ohio 👋
Rick, it's finally time; you need to pay a visit to Willoughby.
The "Talky Tina" house was also the house used in "Ring A Ding Girl".
Yeah, you could say, oh it's TZ, it's weird that way, but really, it was not a high-budget show, and this was a production cost savings.
4:14 Why the quick shot of Desi Arnaz?
Part of the Twilight Zone :)
@@keithpennington8259 Glitch in the Matrix. 😉 It might be something that was missed in the editing of this video. But Desi Arnaz hosted the pilot that led to the series. It was a show about spooky foreknowledge of the Pearl Harbor attack, or some such. Possibly our host here didn't clip the still footage properly.
Rick was mispronouncing "Willoughby" and it reminded him of Ricky Ricardo, so he dropped in a quick shot of Desi.
🙂
Yes yes yes! You are the only one to have gotten that connection. Desi mispronounced it Willowy once and it was hilarious. It did it in a video once and everyone rained down fire on me. It was funny. Another inside joke. I love it! You guys are so crafty haha
My dad is 91 so he was late 20s when this episode first aired. He liked the show as everyone in his era did, but this was not his favorite episode when it first aired. Same for me when I saw it first in reruns as a teenager (my dad always had this show on, I love the series as well). When my dad got older, this episode held more meaning for him. He’s now 91 and it’s his favorite episode of the series now as it hits home much more. I’m 59 and the same thing has happened for me. The desire as we get older for the nostalgia of parts of our past will start being more and more strong and appealing as you age. This episode resonates beyond belief for me now whereas before it was simply a good TZ episode.
They not only used the same sets, they used the same actors in many Twilight Zones and Perry Mason. Willoughby is one of my favorites.
I never scrutinized the two episodes, but I've watching the Willoughby film far more times than Bevis. I always thought the camera work done in Willoughby, especially focusing on the bosses "push" talk was terrific, and maybe kind of Hitchcock inspired. As weird as my brain works I related the close up of the bosses mouth to the shower drain in Psycho. LOL.
I like the Willoughby story because is something we all can relate to the Work pressures. Many of us would it liked one time or other, just escape.
Wait, 2 morbid???? :(
This episode is EPIC.
Thanks, enjoyed your video. I just liked and Subbed your channel. Keep em coming. 🙂
This one is definitely in my top 5
You can also see how they recycle props like lamps, furniture and Knick knacks.
The wonderful character actor, Howard Smith (1893-1968) played the hard-driving boss, Mr. Misrell. Mr. Smith had a very successful career - which spanned fifty years across various entertainment venues: Vaudeville, radio, television, and films. He did it all. Incidentally, he would appear in another "Twilight Zone" episode called, "Cavender is Coming" - playing a crusty, cigar-smoking, "Angel." Mr. Smith made this role absolutely work. (This was the same episode in which a young Carol Burnett appeared). Cheers to all!
Another great catch on one of my favorite shows. I think he was happy at the end because he found his own little slice of heaven.
Glad you enjoyed it
There was also another episode called “The New Exhibit” when the guy was opening the crates down in the basement, those same crates were used in another episode called “Of Late I Think Of Cliffordville”. A lot of Twilight Zone episodes with the reuse of props.
I too am shocked by the revelation that a TV show would reuse the same backdrop. Next you're going to say actors return to play other roles.
They do. ;)
I'd say this is probably one of my top favorite episodes of twilight zone. A lot of people but I think particularly men in a fast paced culture want to have escape into a simple place, a simple world.
In an episode of The Monkees, 4 guys show up in weird costumes as space aliens. In another episode 4 other(?) guys show up in the same outfits as a rock band.
I don’t think Mr. Bevis is a loser. He just lives his own lifestyle. Same with the guy from the Willoughby episode. Kinda cool that the same set was used for two different characters that have similar desires with different outcomes.
Oh i had to subscribe. This was my favorite episode! I never forgot it.
I have loved watching TZ marathons since I was a kid. What an interesting video! Subbed.
Well, these city scenes aren’t exactly the same. In the second episode you mentioned, I think it was called “Really Bummer of a Day”, the building that kinda looks like the Aztecs designed it, you’ll see that on the 12th floor,there is a ginormous picture of Desi Arnaz in the room facing out, while in the “Willowmeana” episode, in that same room on that same floor, there’s a ginormous picture of Fred Mertz. 😜
Ok, enough kidding around. I understand completely what you’re saying. It’s all about connection. Especially in the Twlight Zone, where it’s not all black and white, figuratively, not the actual filming. People, events,things, they can and do all connect in ways we may not always see at first or even second glance. Like our human existence on this planet, we all connect in one form or another, we just have to have our eyes open wide enough to really see it. Both inside and out. That’s a gift you have Rick, and through these videos, you share that gift as a reminder to us all there’s more to everyone and everything. Awesome work buddy!
😂
I get the same experience when I watch Irwin Allen tv shows/movies. The same props come up in different places again and again. They also almost virtually have the same crew, including 'Johnny' Williams.
Willoughby was the name of our lake house when I was 9-14 years old.
Not exactly a "SHOCKING Revelation." But thanks for pointing it out; it's a fun factoid.
Rick in the FIRST ever TZ episode (Where Is Everybody?) Earl Holliman walks all over looking for people in the town.
He goes to the town square and wanders around....look again.
Its the location for the town center for Back To The Future, the building in back is the city hall or whatever.
Dawned on me one day.😉
Yup! Isn’t that cool?
I always thought of the Willoughby episode when I worked in downtown Brooklyn because when you take the R subway train and get off at Jay Street - Metro Tech and you walk up one of the exits you are right at Willoughby Street!
Love love love Twilight Zone! I’ve seen every episode! My favorites are Willoughby and the carousel one, where a stressed out man goes back in time to his youth (as a grown man) & talks to his deceased father and sees his young self. I don’t remember the name of it, but these were my top two. Thanks for this!
Edit: I think it was called Walking Distance?
So the shocking revelation is that TZ producers used the same backdrop?
My favorite parts of this episode were those cozy dark atmospheric back-to-the-turn-of-the century train rides with the solemn ring of the train bell. It had such a comforting nostalgic feel about it. It was like having a wide "a wake" dream. And so it was.
Drops are expensive to paint. Back then, they did anything to save a buck.
No ! The ending is Beautiful and I can only hope to wake up in my own Willoughby one day .
I have seen every episode of every Twilight Zone, because I have the original and the Jordon Peele version on Blu-Ray and the 80s version on DVD.
Yes I tried the Jordan Peele version and found it underwhelming and lackluster
@@ricknineg I know you're trying to increase your views but referring to this bit of minutiae as "shocking" tells me not to expect much from any of your other Twilight Zone videos. Sorry.
Indeed one of my favorite episodes. I've even made a Willoughby diorama as part of my model train hobby. (Sorry I can't post a link.)
The Twilight Zone was more like theater than television - essentially produced like short plays at a relatively low budget. As you said, it's not surprising that a painted backdrop (or any other prop) would be used several times. I mean, think of how many times they reused Burgess Meredith. 😁
I agree that it's fun to discover trivia like this.
Sorry I can't watch anymore of this!! I must first go and watch that episode.....I'll be back 🤖
I think the scenery being used twice has more to do with the TV show budgets than any creative coincidences. At the same time I'd credit the various shows and writers for utilizing what was available. I was a kid in the early ‘60’s and remember scenery being re-used, but what set it apart was the story and writing.
Awesome Rick what a wonderful video sharing the facts and all
Thanks so much
Your welcome so much
My favorite episode was the episode at the diner with the man with 3 arms and the man with 3 eyes.
I made a video on it with really cool info. Here it is ruclips.net/video/T5HMQ4adx0o/видео.htmlsi=yZcGgJT6of5QdMea
Yes! Another classic. The man (alien) with the three eyes was on a few more of these as well.
Yup
Just a fun fact: the Mr. Beavis episode was directed by William Asher, who directed several sitcoms, including 102 episodes of I Love Lucy and 131 episodes of Bewitched (he was also married to Elizabeth Montgomery from 1963-1973).
I don't think of the Twilight Zone as a literal place. The next stop, or step into or any other phrase Rod Serling uses is literary , not literal. For example, stepping into a messy situation. You likely didn't step into it and it's probably not a place, even though it takes place somewhere.
Also, the Twilight Zone may have taken one person out of that office and put another into that office (if it is meant to be the same office), but that doesn't locate that office in the Twilight Zone.
🤔
Great job! 🎉
A couple of the classic episodes for sure.
The episode is called “A Stop At Willoughby.”
Serling was on a very tight budget and re-using back drops was a way to stay within budget.
Every show refuses sets and props
My favorite episode because it highlights how much businesses, especially in the US, grinds some people down that they lose their sanity! I think about this episode and remember the line: “Willoughby, a town where a man can live life full measure”. This is the haven so many people seek. Everyone’s “Willoughby” is different but the common theme is that we all would like to escape, even for a while to an ideal place where we can live in normalcy at a sane pace with a rich and fulfilling life, in other words: “full measure.” It is, like many TZ episodes, a cautionary tale. It warns us that we should take steps to avoid getting into such a low place in life by taking steps to change our situation when we are very unhappy and lose the reason for living. The episode can be considered as a thinly disguised metaphor for someone who is at the end of their rope with no one helping them and so one day they snap and “escape” the only way they can, via suicide. So it is dark, but it does provide a mirror of ourselves so that hopefully we can stop the downward slide and avoid needing a Willoughby so bad that we end up losing everything.
Neither is really my favorite but A Stop and Willoughby is certainly memorable and has the big twist at the end. Good catch using the same city background.
What was the Desi Arnaz photo still referencing or was that just a subliminal message?
😏
if you want to see sets re-used over and over you might enjoy the early Man From UNCLE shows
I even saw Sgt Schulz on an episode which featured Dr Mallard.
Its a PUSH, PUSH, PUSH, PUSH BUSINESSES!!!!!!!!
I've seen both episodes but never noticed it was the same office. Very nice narration , Rick 👍
Thank you kindly
I love these videos; when I was a kid a would notice things like this; I thought I was the only one.
Here's a fun one I noticed years ago:
In the Commissioner's office on the Batman series, there is a portrait of a man hanging on the wall to the right of his desk. That same portrait can be seen in the TV movie The Homecoming: A Christmas story. It's said to be a portrait of The Judge; Father of the Baldwin sisters.
Also, on an episode of Mayberry RFD the Maltese Falcon statue shows up in the background.
You never know what'll just show up.
At the very end of the episode….”Willoughby, whatever it is, it comes with sunlight and serenity, and is a part of the twilight zone.” I named the beach house… WILLOUGHBY.
