Matt Stokes and Patrick Perot go through the very first episode of The Twilight Zone: "Where Is Everybody?"
An amnesiac wanders through a town, unable to find a single human being, but always feeling like somebody is just out of reach. Creepy!
How well does this episode serve as an introduction to The Twilight Zone? How well does it stand on its own? And how much does it hold up now?
Plus, there's a lot of talk about the space race, the Cold War, and America's obsession with going to the moon.
"Where Is Everybody" originally aired October 2, 1959; directed by Robert Stevens; written by Rod Serling; starring Earl Holliman.
