Twilight Zone Original Series: StuOz Top 52 Episodes
156 TZ episodes were made but only 52 episodes were outstanding. However, many of the less pleasing episodes had a golden moment or two. Many define Night Gallery (1969) as a "follow up" series to Twilight Zone but I would not pay too much attention to that. Rod Serling was much less involved than you would expect and many of the Night Gallery episodes were just plain terrible!
