I have the actual original TZ episode which was on a Desilu PLayhouse episode.It was called Time Element an hour ep from 1958 starring William Bendix as a guy who keeps waking up the day before Pearl Harbor and no one will buy his story about what is about to happen.Martin Balsam plays the psychiatrist who "treats" him Darryl Hickman plays a young soldier.It's a really good episode and Rod Serlings first sci-fi script. I think I actually remember that one. Vaguely. I think my parents watched the Desilu Playhouse so I may have been stuck indoors that night and watched it. Either that or some other show had a similar plot and I'm remembering that instead. I think I probably watched almost every Twilight Zone episode when it originally aired. I KNOW I watched every episode of The Outer Limits. I think a few Outer Limits episodes had plots that somewhat overlapped a couple of Twilight Zone's. The two shows had a different tone, approach, and subject matter. My parents usually watched Twilight Zone but passed on Outer Limits. Outer Limits featured a lot of stuff that people were afraid of and didn't really understand. Like radiation, mutants, aliens, human scientific experimentation, etc. Both were classics in their own way. Star Trek had a number of Outer Limits influences. William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy starred in a couple OL episodes. I don't think either of the shows featured much in the way of songs, like the way DFTR was used in later shows for either impending doom, comic relief, or just because "it was cool and fit the scene". Could we even know if any BÖC songs were loosely inspired by any episode of either of these shows?

Whenever I listen to Real World I think of Twilight Zone and X-Files.

They are showing ten episodes starting at noon, and that episode is one of them. Excellent, thanks Mary! I can get it here. From my online guide: The Twilight Zone Sun, 10/16, 3:00 PM CDT 30 min "It's a Good Life" 11/03/1961, Season 3 / Episode 8 A little boy has the ability to control everything and everyone around him with his mind, and his enormous power to read minds and his violent outbursts toward those who cross him cause residents in the entire town to live in fear of him. Credits: John Larch (Actor), Cloris Leachman (Actor), Don Keefer (Actor), Billy Mumy (Actor), Alice Frost (Actor), Rod Serling (Host)
So this looks like the one. Likely will be gone at that time, so time to fire up my DVD recorder that records over the air programming in HD. Hope it still works, haven't used in awhile, but still all hooked up. Will fire up the old VCR also (yes I still have one). DVD will do 4 hrs I think, so will do before and after also. If I get time I also have a little OTA HD "tuner box" that will supposedly record directly to a USB stick. Never tried it, so good excuse to fire it up! As you can tell we used to time shift and watch a lot of OTA shows. Not so much anymore.

I'll stumble on the whole episode somewhere. Twilight Zone is on MeTV at 12:30am eastern time Sunday through Friday. So if you get MeTV, maybe you'll see that episode. Recorded fine, so we watched it last night. Now I understand the origin of what it means to "send" somebody (or some thing) to "the corn field". I was hoping the show would have explained more about what the corn field really is. Death? All fictional, but not a good place to be sent. Thanks for remembering to send me the watch info.

I have to say though that the cornfield one was my least favorite of the ten. It just lacked a surprise twist at the end that the others had, I thought. I hope MeTV does that again soon, with another ten episodes.

The corn field one wasn't one of my favorites either but I wanted to see the origin of the phrase. So it was worth it. I think I recorded 7 or 8 episodes total and I haven't watched the rest yet. My, and the wife's, favorite episode had a big surprise twist. It's the one I remember the best. The one where the woman had plastic surgery, she looked good to me, but the surgeons yelled "no change". Then it showed the surgeons - all with PIG faces! Will never forget that! FYI: If we ever need to send somebody to a "corn field" I actually own one. It's in another state, I lease it out. The tenant only grows about 12 acres of corn a year (its mostly wheat, grain, etc.) but that should be large enough....

That episode with the pig-faced surgeons and nurses was one that they showed on Sunday. I suspected something was up because they never showed the faces of the surgeons and nurses throughout the episode. They were always in darkness or obscured by something until the end. I liked the one with the bus passengers at a diner and the police officers are trying to figure out which one is really a martian that landed in a spaceship near the diner. I guessed the right one! I also liked the one with William Shatner on a plane. And the episode called "To Serve Man" had a really surprising twist at the end. I hope MeTV shows another group of episodes like that.
