THE TWILIGHT ZONE MARATHON
Syfy, 1:00 a.m. ET
We’re used to seeing Twilight Zone marathons on certain holiday weekends, but Syfy is slipping in an unexpected mini-marathon, starting early this morning. At 1 a.m. ET, the mini-marathon begins with the famous “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet” episode starring William Shatner (pictured), followed at 1:30 a.m. ET by the equally famous episode “To Serve Man.” Other episodes are shown until 11 a.m. ET, and they include a bunch of Twilight Zone all-stars. You might want to set your DVRs for any or all of them including Anne Francis as a department-store interloper in “The After Hours” (3 a.m. ET), Agnes Moorehead as a farm woman defending her home from tiny aliens in “The Invaders” (4:30 p.m. ET), studies of relative beauty in “Eye of the Beholder” (6 a.m. ET) and “Number 12 Looks Just Like You” (6:30 a.m. ET), Burgess Meredith as a bookworm in “Time Enough at Last” (7 a.m. ET), young Billy Mumy terrorizing his elders in “It’s a Good Life” (9 a.m. ET), and that classic story about paranoia, “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street” (9:30 a.m. ET).
