Thought about that when I posted the shot. What we don't see the the television being tossed immediately there after . . .

I remember when the show first aired. Sure was good. Meant to watch the marathon today but fell asleep . . .

MeTV, my local nostalgia channel, shows all the old The Twilight Zone episodes. Unfortunately they've put it on "vacation" for the summer but they'll be back in the fall.
Burgess Meredith ("The Penguin" from Batman) was the guy with the books in "Time Enough At Last". It had all the elements of a classic TTZ episode, including the kicker ending.
That's one of my favorites as well, but it's hard to say "favorites" because the majority of them were great. I also love seeing all the stars that appeared in the series at various points of their careers.
Serling tried doing Night Gallery after TTZ ended but it just wasn't the same. He had said in lectures to writing classes that he thought his writing had "matured" in Gallery, and wasn't too proud of his work in TTZ, but the majority of his students always fought him on that point, saying that TTZ was far superior. I agree with them.
Just goes to show that a writer isn't always the best judge of his own work.
