I believe that a few weeks ago there was a discussion as to whether Rod Serling ever said "Submitted for your approval" in a Twilight Zone episode. The answer is: yes he did. Yesterday, a local station ran a 5 1/2 hour Twilight Zone marathon, and the episode "Cavender is Coming" definitely starts with that line. [The episode stars Carol Burnett, and involves a would-be angel who must earn his wings by improving the lot of a person on Earth. It is mostly a comedy, and even has a (shudder) laugh-track].

For those of you who have SHOWTIME, they're showing the TZ movie this month, and this Thursday (Oct. 4) they're giving us a treat before the movie runs at 7pm (Central time). At 6:30, they're showing "Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" as a prologue to the film. This is one of those 4 or 5 shows that are not in syndication. I have also heard from a friend that WGN (Chicago) is going to pull out those un-syndicated shows and show them. I haven't heard anything about this, though, I haven't been watching TZ on WGN lately. I assume they'll have ads to this effect around and during TZ when they are showing it.

The way I have heard it (from at least two sources), about four episodes are being added to the set that are in syndication, and they will be shown all around the country starting this month. This set includes the doll house episode which stars a very young Robert Duvall. -- Barry Margolin ARPA: barmar@MIT-Multics UUCP: ..!genrad!mit-eddie!barmar

Of course, "Incident at Owl Creek Bridge" was, properly speaking, not really a TZ episode at all. The show consists of Serling appearing at the beginning admitting that they didn't make this film, and that they were running it due to its high quality and award winning status. It is the same short subject that has made the rounds through various outlets over the years, only with the short intro by Serling prepended in this case. --Lauren--

On the EMMY awards show, they showed a scene from that episode, and said it hadn't been seen on television in 20 years. That seemed a little strange to me, since I really thought I'd seen that one a few years ago. -- Marc Lavine uucp: ...ihnp4!wlcrjs!marc

Most of the episodes were very good. i sat down at midnight with the intention of watching one or two but really enjoyed watching until 5am when they went off the air. i recognized a few when they came on but that didn't matter. i wish "Twilight Zone: The Movie" had just grab a few of these episodes!!
