To Serve Man | The Twilight Zone | First Time Watching

Thumb Up #53! 👍 Thanks for the fun, DVR! 🎬✌️🖖🤓😎🤠

Notes: The episode is thought-provoking in more ways than one, as well as scary. Ahem.

Thanks to your reáctions to it, I finally realized something about it. That civilization built spacecraft such as that, yet, couldn't manage the resources well enough on their home world. The writers were still being influenced by the, Western Genre.

In Real Life, we have elderly religious people, wondering which will happen first. Dying mundanely or experiencing the Rapture. So why bother with Earth Conservation, as either way, they won't be here much longer.

Then there are the younger ones, believing that their chosen deity won't allow something so bad to happen or if it does happen it was part of a, "Divine Plan", and who are they to judge.

Then we have the faction of, Humanity, that has more faith in the Space Program, getting us to another place soon, before this one is totally exploited.

Then there's the rest of us, who want to do well by this planet, since we are here and now, regardless of what the, Future, brings. 😎

These aliens are played like, "futuristic", cattle wranglers. Ugh.

Do yall have a full-length react on PATREON?

(Ray).." Oh, Thank You for the sandwich ... "Woooo-WAAAHHHH !!!" ... ( LMFAO)

The alien voice is Joseph Ruskin. You probably saw him in Star trek - Gamesters of Triskelion

Citizen Gregori was also in a Star Trek: catspaw

If you get the chance, read the short story "the aliens who knew, I mean, everything" by George Alec Effinger. It's a funny story about aliens who come to Earth and offer the same sort of wonderful peace and prosperity as here, but the result is very different (as is their motivation)

Hi Guys, two more great episodes, it`s always good to see new people enjoying them. I didn`t discover (The Twilight Zone or The Outer Limits) until the late `70`s early `80`s myself. Please consider (The 7th is made up of Phantoms & The Thirty-Fathom Grave) Season 5 Ep. 10 & Season 4 Ep. 2 respectively. Both are military based episodes.

Richard Kiel played the role of the Kannanite who would later play Jaws on the Bond films.

Clever writing, good acting for the most part & with no CGI/special effects...TZ kept you guessing. Don't good for a half hour show. Glad to see you guys doing more episodes, there are some really good ones.

You have now watched five episodes.

Soylent Green

They should have known. If it were really a book about being of service to mankind it would have been one page that said; like, subscribe and set notifications to all so you never miss new content.

This episode is, of course, a straight adaptation of Damon Knight's famous magazine story, "To Serve Man."

A number of TZ's best episodes were taken from classic science fiction stories. Jerome Bixby's IT'S A GOOD LIFE, for one.

One of the greatest classics of all time. But the Monsters are us, the Woke were worried about a food shortage this Summer, because of the war in Ukraine. Their people publicly suggested cannibalism was a good idea ;-(

Great cast. Lloyd Bochner was one of those actors who you recognize but don't know their names. Same with Theo Marcuse and Richard Kiel, who also appear in this episode. Theo and Bochner have turned up in episodes of Hogan's Heroes, which, BTW, if the younger guys in your group have never watched, ought to react to.

Another great episode to check out, about gold thieves, is “The Rip Van Winkle Caper.” As always, the twist is just crazy.

Great job. You guys called it right. A cookbook!!! 🤣

The original short story depicted the aliens as pigs.

One of my favs. Glad you guys saw through it!! LOL
On the weight issue. If you want to lose weight get you mind in gear man. I used to weigh 400 pounds. Wore 56 inch pants. Then I lost 200 pounds. Took about a year and half. Semi-keto. Oh yeah my pant size 42 to 44 depending. Yeah, do it man!!
Y'all be safe

Been waiting for someone to react to this show. Lots of lessons to be learned. I recommend The Obsolete Man.

A great take on this same theme, "V the Miniseries" from the 80s.
I have yet to see someone do a reaction of it. It was an excellent show.

One of my favorite shows

You guys are too smart for your own good! You figured out the ending of Planet of the Apes too soon - but THIS one you got it right away! The first time I saw this I was about 14.......the ending came as a shock to me!

Awesome reaction. This is my second personal favorite episode of the series, my favorite episode is called jeopardy room.

The only good Twilight Zone is the original series!!!

The most memorable Twilight Zone episode by far......IMO.....is The Invaders. Great acting and a story you will not forget. I saw it over 40 years ago, and I still remember it well.

Guy on the left is hot !

Yeah! This episode is one of my favorities. Because no one discovers what the aliens are really here for until the end.

If you're doing TZ, you have to watch 4x04 "He's Alive." By far one of the most enduringly socially relevant episodes of TV ever.

Great reaction guys when this TV show came out in the sixties it blew everyone away

The Simpsons did a great send up of this episode.

I have seen every episode of the Twilight Zone on dvd. Rod Serling was a genius.

It could be a cook book.,

I'm new here and just stumbled across this episode...
I'd like to suggest the episode, I Shot an Arrow into the Air. It's a hidden gem 👊😎

Why would a race of people travel across the universe to land here? Not very many choices as to a realistic answer.

loved the vid :) great to kill time while impatiently waiting for the next B5 episode

I have watched Rod Serling's "TWILIGHT ZONE" since it began in 1959 when I was twelve years old, and my family NEVER missed an episode until it ended in the summer of 1964 when I was 17. Watched it again when it started in reruns and even through today. LOVE the original "TWILIGHT ZONE" I didn't care for the more recent series that was run. Just was not as eerie as Mr. Sterling's series. Did you know WILLIAM SHATNER ("Captain Kirk" from the original "STAR TREK" series) starred in one of the episodes? ONE of MY favorites is an episode called "EYE OF THE BEHOLDER" EVERY year the "SYFY" channel has a "Twilight Zone" MARATHON from DEC. 31st which runs 24 hours a day until January 3rd, usually. I watch that as well and DVR many of them when I can't watch.

Please check out the original TV show "The Outer Limits" Great science fiction. Production dates were 1963 and 1964. You'll see many Hollywood legends who later made it big in leading TV and movies roles like Redford, Nimoy, Landau, Duvall, Shatner, etc.

I remember this episode was paying as a rerun on tv when I was a kid in the 80s. As a kid I stuck my nose up to most BW tv but my mom convinced me to watch it and I really liked it. Twilight Zone was a real great show

Cool video, just subscribed after seeing this video. I’m a huge Twilight Zone fan and enjoy watching peoples first time experiencing these great episodes. I’ve seen them all over 30 times each.

I hope you also check out some of the outstanding episodes of NIGHT GALLERY -- another Rod Serling tv series.

Metv has a Kanabis Cafe Tshirt you can buy that says serving man since 1962. It's a great shirt

Check out these Tilight Zone episodes too. Walking Distance, Back there!, The Masks, Will the Real Martin Please Stand Up. Changing of the Guard, and The Silence.

i love the fact the actor who play the big Alien was the actor on the Adam family as lurch lol

Climate change is real

I was nine when the Twilight Zone first aired in 1959 on CBS. It is astonishing how many human emotions Serling covered in the first year. Paranoia, loneliness, love, bravery, racism, fear, acceptance. All within contexts of fantasy and sci-fi tropes.

Rob Serling had gifted insight....he would be horrified to see what the world has become....Maybe this is a fate mankind or at least part of it deserves....At least we would be serving with a constructive purpose...

gotta figure this show came out durring cold war russia era and Rod Serling was very outspoken for his time to say the least.... legend....
