These episode previews by Rod Serling are pure gold! I never knew he recorded these. You mean to tell us that television was mature and visionary at one point in its history? Thank you for posting this wonderful material.
I remember crying to poor Henry Bemis' fate in "Time enough at last". I thought it so unfair. And the theme music (specially the ending) still gives me the willies. 😨 Great series. Thanks, Fred. 💜🤟
Oh FredFlix, you've done it again! Because of MeTV I've seen every episode mentioned in this compilation. I truly wish we still had it here in Rhode Island, but they decided we should have Charge! instead. At least we still have access to your RUclips time machine. Thanks man!
@@FredFlix,thank goodness I still get METV. Our cable system just recently gave us a new channel called GRIT. All western themed shows and movies. I love it.
@@gregggoss2210 I've noticed that during random channel surfing of Grit, MeTV, Antenna, H&I and Catchy Comedy (formerly the superior Decades), Grit will more likely NOT be in a commercial break.
Next week's episode you'll see for the first time the future in which phones are mobile and act also as miniature televisions. One of their channels will be called RUclips and there will be many programs including one called Fred Flix! You saw it first next week here on the Twilight Zone. If you're still alive in about 60 years you will have seen the future with us!
Fred just watching these classic intros made me have chills up my spine. I think Rod S. Was creepier at announcing his show intros than Alfred Hitchcock with his TV show. Either way this was terrific stuff you found
Excellent video of an excellent series! These morality tales, as they’ve been called, are timeless and as relevant today as they were back then. This is one of the few original TV series where I’ve seen all episodes. Nothing else like it can compare.
One of my favorite classic far out shows! I seen most of these recently on the Me Tv channel, starring great actors and actresses who came out of the Twilight Zone and into some great series! Awesome as always Fred! ✨
They were usually eliminated from syndicated prints of "THE TWILIGHT ZONE", because most stations scheduled the episodes five nights (or days) a week; hence, no need for "next week" (in 1963, Rod started using the terms "next time" or "on our next episode"). I know WOR-TV and WPIX-TV in New York never showed them.
Yes! Marvin Miller was the original "billboard" announcer during the first two seasons (1959-'61), as well as the one in the "alternate sponsor" bumper. "'THE TWILIGHT ZONE'....brought to you tonight--- by the coffee with the best of the coffee bean.....Aroma! Flavor! But *not* caffein! NEW 'AROMA-ROAST' *SANKA COFFEE!"* (1959)
0:17 I guess that was Maxine Stuart under the bandages, though Donna Douglas was the unmasked woman. 2:47 "It's a Good Life" is about my least favorite episodes (I hate stories involving evil children.), but it's very popular among fans. 4:30 The makeup on the monster makes him look more like a deranged teddy bear than a monster, but the story from the 1983 movie made him look ugly & frightening.
Richard Matheson was also disappointed with the way the gremlin looked in "Nightmare At 20,000 Feet". He wrote the original story and teleplay, and insisted it looked more sinister in his original concept. "THAT thing looked like a panda bear!", he snorted.
@@brezzendorf Because the local stations at the time used more commercial minutes and cut out the extras. And also, they would not want Serling saying "next week on T Zone" when the station was probably showing it daily. Luckily, enough people (collectors, usually) were able to save the uncut 16mm prints sent to stations and retained the full broadcasts, sometimes including all the original network ads.
@@FredFlix i wonder if I can find those OGs. The subtitle files I downloaded has them extras so the og collector's edition should be there somewhere, on the internet I mean
@@brezzendorf I'm not sure what OG means, except Original...something? ... but there are people who sell 16mm prints online (they are fairly expensive and you need a projector). And course there are uploads of 16mm films on YT.
The Twilight Zone will never lose its relevance or influence. The Greatest Of All Time
Wow. These clips haven’t been seen in over 60 years. Thank You!
You're welcome, maceonenyc.
They were never included in syndicated prints of the series.

The best tv show of all time in my book. Top notch writing, human drama told in fantasy and sci-fi parables, superior acting in every single episode.
Never seen these before! Great work in compiling and posting!
Thanks, MPH711.
I'll second that.. 🎭
Classic, iconic TV show. The very phrase "twilight zone" is part of the collective lexicon. I have the entire series on Blu Ray.
Are these previews on the dvds?
Great clips featuring Rod Serling
Classic tales, every one. My favorite among them is "A Game Of Pool".
Thanks, FredFlix. 🎱
You're welcome, Luis.
Me too thanks to Jack Klugman facing Jonathan Winters

Just like Serling would write it!
"Our story is entitled- *'What You Wish For'."*
Good one Fred. I had to rack my brain on some of them. I think I identified about half of the episodes Rod foreshadowed. 🤔👍
Thanks, Robert.
Was watching this intriguing show in Northern Ireland at the height of the troubles it beamed me into another dimension 🇮🇪
Best 📺 series ever!!!
Thanks Fred
You're welcome, GDT1960.

title after title, i remember them all
Awesome Fred ❤❤❤thank you
You're welcome, friend Brenda.
@@FredFlix You're most welcome my friend HAPPY FATHER'S DAY can't wait to see what you come up with but it be pretty cool
@@brendajeanproffitt6919 I had a video entitled The Wit and Wisdom of Ward Cleaver but RUclips has rejected it because of copyright issues!
@@FredFlix wow that sucked but you always come up with awesome ideas I just hope your weekend going good for you and your family
...And now, Mr. Serling will tell us about the next FredFlix offering, Stay Tuned! 😆
Another good video of memorable of memories, Fred. 👍
Submitted for your approval, Steve.
The first one shown is with Donna Douglas soon to be with The Beverly Hillbillies!
Only at the very end. Maxine Stuart was the one whose head was swathed in bandages for most of the episode.
@@fromthesidelines: Yes I was aware of that.
You'd be surprised how many people aren't aware of that.
@@fromthesidelines: Donna Douglas was a beauty but Maxine Stuart's voice was perfect!!!
Excellent video of an excellent series! These morality tales, as they’ve been called, are timeless and as relevant today as they were back then. This is one of the few original TV series where I’ve seen all episodes. Nothing else like it can compare.
Thanks, Kevin.
Good ol' Rod Sterling, aka Sterls.
Great video again Fred. I'd love to see a computer generated conversation between Rod Serling and Morgan Freedman.
We probably WILL see it, Steve.
His promo for “To Serve Man” was filled with sideways clues. Thanks Fred!!!
You're welcome, Jeff.
One of my favorite classic far out shows! I seen most of these recently on the Me Tv channel, starring great actors and actresses who came out of the Twilight Zone and into some great series! Awesome as always Fred! ✨
That was a lot of fun. Keep on digging up the long list gems. We're these even in the DVDs?
I don't know, quispyken.
Pleasant surprise I thought I seen all.. thanks 🎭
Thanks ,Fred.
I was born in 1946 and watched when new but I don't remember the preview of next week episode

@@fromthesidelines thanks

And now, Mr. Serling.
Sounds like the announcer is Marvin Miller from The Millionaire.
Yes! Marvin Miller was the original "billboard" announcer during the first two seasons (1959-'61), as well as the one in the "alternate sponsor" bumper.

To Serve Videos by Fred Flix.
I like it, Robert!
Watching all seasons of Original Twilight Zone, but sad every teaser where Rod appears with a cigarette in his hand 😔
Will the real Fred Flix(Martian?) please do another video?
The videos are due on FredFlix street.
Omg, Fred! How did you get these? They're not included in the TTZ box set, either. Thanks a gazillion for all your hard work. 😃👍
I was able to record screen videos of the episodes, which were on a web site.
Fredflix, please turn on the caption.
Thanks!
Good job Fred
Billy Mumy says you're a bad man
Well, there goes my jack in the box head, Richard.
Reminds me of brick from The Middle!
They have one of those penny machines at the White House, except a bag of cocaine comes out. 😂😂😂
On Nightmare At 20,000 Feet The DVD Doesn’t Have The Next Weeks Feature,Hmmm???
Good Video,Fred.
Thanks, Tony. Don't know about the DVD.
Two William Shatner episodes!
But do I always feel like I’m the twilight zone I’m feel like somebody watching me

Somehow the version of what I watch doesn't have after credit scenes by Rod Sterling. Why is that?
They were cut from syndication reruns.
@@FredFlix why
@@brezzendorf Because the local stations at the time used more commercial minutes and cut out the extras.
