This weekend is the Fourth of July. Among the many legitimate traditions of reckless firework use and copious drinking, there’s the very geeky tradition the Syfy channel has of hosting a marathon of the original Twilight Zone show. They do this same thing around New Years, presumably attracted by the winter use of fireworks in our holiday calendar. It’s become a favorite part of the holiday for someone like me who has pets that are incredibly skittish around loud noises. The only downside of the marathon is that it tends to focus on the same handful of big episodes. 

Stuff like the “To Serve Man,” “Time Enough At Last,” “Eye of the Beholder,” “Will The Real Martian Please Stand Up,” “The Gift,” “The Doll,” and “It’s A Good Life” have become such a consistent part of the viewing diet they’ve been grandfathered into the popular lexicon as a whole. So, this year I’ve combed through the depths of the Twilight Zone to bring you my top 10 most underrated episodes. These are ten episodes that often get overlooked for the bigger names of the franchise; the stuff that more people should check out.
