These 8 'Twilight Zone' Episodes Are Genuine Masterpieces

The Twilight Zone only had five seasons, but it packed a ton of episodes into them. The result is a fairly mixed bag: some episodes are okay, some are forgettable, some are good, and some are top-shelf. Since time has judged the show primarily by its better entries, most people recognize it as one of the most important anthology series ever created. It certainly helped the science fiction and fantasy genres gain steam in the public zeitgeist, and it continues to influence storytellers to this day. There have even been a few Twilight Zone reboots, but they don't reach the heights of the original run (1959-1964).
