The Premonition
Jan 5, 1965
I remember seeing this a long time ago, but didn't remember that it was a TOL episode. A husband
(a test pilot)
and wife find themselves trapped in an elongated pocket of alternate time. Everyone and everything seem to be frozen, and their daughter is about to be killed by a truck.
This was a good episode, and a departure from the usual. There was a
"monster"
of sorts, but it was a good one, a man trapped in a time void. It was more science fiction than monsters.
It starred Dewey Martin (
The Thing From Another World
) and Mary Murphy
(The Wild One).

The Probe
Jan 16, 1955
Alas, the series ended on a clunker. A plane crashes into the sea, and its crew awaken to find themselves inside a large plastic chamber, which turns out to be an alien probe testing for life forms. It was not too bad, until the inevitable
"bear"
arrived, crawling across the floor. One reviewer described it as
"fake rubber vomit",
and it was one of the worst of the entire series.
It starred Peter Mark Richman
(Dynasty)
and Peggy Ann Garner
(A Tree Grows in Brooklyn)
.

So that was it. Turn out the laser lights, flatline the sine wave, and turn out the lights, the party's over. Oh yeah, and for goodness sakes get those poor stuntmen out of those ridiculous rubber costumes. Well, it was a wild and wonderful ride. Next I'll do
The Twilight Zone.
Just kidding.
MAGA! FAFO!
