[net.sf-lovers] TZ Time Travel

Denber.wbst@XEROX.ARPA (04/23/84)

Time and time travel were also the subjects of more than a few Twilight
Zone episodes.  Unfortunately, I don't have my handy-dandy TZ Episode
Guide with me, but here's a few that come to mind:

* The man with the slight limp who visits his childhood home where he
scares himself as a child causing him to fall off the merry-go-round
thus hurting his leg.

* The man who goes back in time to try to prevent Lincoln's
assassination.

* The 707 that goes through a time warp and tries to land at La Guardia
in the 1930's.

* Kick the Can - Old folks become kids again.

* The evil linotype machine - whatever headlines you typed on it were
sure to happen.

* The camera that took pictures of the future.

* The stop watch that could stop time (my favorite - I sure could have
used that when I had a homework assignment due in two hours that I
hadn't started yet).

There must be more . . .

And let's not forget that great Outer Limits episode which featured an
*evolution* machine.  You could hop in and depending on how the dials
were set, you could regress to a Neanderthal, an ape, a lawyer, or going
the other way you could emerge with a cranium reminiscent of the Cone
Heads (late of Saturday Night Live).  They don't make em like that
anymore.
