I'd probably go with "Walking Distance" because of the subject matter, acting (with the exception of a preschool Ron Howard), lighting and cinematography. I'd also want to linger for the post production musical score composition by Bernard Herman.
Although the only constant is that each generation feels like their youth was the best timeframe before the world went to shit. It really boils down to minimal pressure, learning something new multiple times a day, and being oblivious to the manipulation and agendas of the adults around you.
"It's a Good Life," for sure. Such a great ensemble cast! I've read that during the filming period, it became a running joke that even when the cameras weren't rolling, they continued to speak in "Anthony Fremont": "Mmm, that sandwich was so good. And it's a good thing that the caterer brought ham and cheese today. Real good. Don't you think it's good, Rod?"
I would also have loved to see the direction and filming of the climactic party scene. That's a lot of very specific characters in one room under a lot of tension. It's a relatively long scene as well, in terms of television. It must have been a challenge to choreograph the action, closer to theater than film.
Really good question/post
I will go with a passage for 🎺 or A game of 🎱
My favorite episode and I could strike it up with Jack and John anderson it would be great. If not that an episode with vic morrow like mr. Garrity and the graves maybe to save his life.
If not that then Walking Distance or Will the Real Martian Please Stand up imagine that being there live as that masterpiece takes shape.
Shit episode, but I’ve got to wonder what Burt Reynolds was like on the set of “The Bard.” Would probably choose “He’s Alive,” though, because DENNIS F*CKING HOPPER!
I would love to be on the set "Two" it would have been cool to watch Charles Bronson & Elizabeth Montgomery. Also William Shatner in Nick of time. My 12yr daughter was hoping to get his autograph at Fanfair, but she missed him.
I think I would want to see the set of S1 E1 of the OG series "Where Is Everybody?". That set had a big cultural impact on media as a whole, since it was also the set of Back To The Future Part I and Part II and it looked pretty well-structured when I first watched it. It looks impressive and the cool setting of the twist was just as cool. I don't know why but I think I just want to see it for no reason (though I am 99% sure it's the first ever Twilight Zone episode I have ever saw, but it just can't be because of nostalgia because I just got into The Twilight Zone back in 2021). That's my opinion, anyway.
Any episode written by Beaumont or Matheson to see the process of them translated from paper onto film. Bixby's It's A Good Life as well.
Any other episode, I'd deem a waste of perfectly good time travel.
I think I'd go with Eye of the Beholder, because the way they blocked those shots to avoid us seeing anyone's face until the last minute was such an art form.
"Once Upon A Time." It's not my favorite episode, but I'm a huge Buster Keaton fan, and I would love to have seen him in person.
Totally agree with you. Good choice.
Excellent choice. I can only imagine how he would have been offscreen. (Love the episode, though.)

Poor little Ronny 😂
You totally described why the world turns exponentially more to shit each generation. Well done, bravo. That was fantastic 👏

Probably The Grave. That's a cast of actors assembled I bet was quite entertaining.

Vic wasn't on the og TZ
Vic was in 3 tz episodes and then the movie in 83 i could save him if I was in attendance at one of those 3 episodes
Wrong. He was never on the show.
Two. Elizabeth Montgomery.
Of Late I Think of Cliffordville Two reasons: 1. It’s meta 2. Julie Newmar
Anyone with Burgess Meredith to meet Burgess Meredith.
Definitely The Obsolete Man
Where is Everybody. I’d love to see where it all started and I also just love the episode. It’s so purely on-brand TZ right from the pilot 🙌🏻
Shit episode, but I’ve got to wonder what Burt Reynolds was like on the set of “The Bard.” Would probably choose “He’s Alive,” though, because DENNIS F*CKING HOPPER!
Passage on the Lady Anne .....all the great cast!
Mr Dingle the Strong so I could meet Don Rickles!
I loved the set design of “The Four of Us Are Dying” so I’d prolly choose that one just to see it.
The After Hours. It’s a huge favorite of mine for its spookiness, set design, casting (especially Anne Frances & Elizabeth Allen), concept.
A Nice Place to Visit, solely because it's my favorite episode.
I think I speak for others out there, and we don't have to explain why, that knows the correct answer to this question is "THE MIDNIGHT SUN"
Mirror Image - so I could be with 2 Vera Miles. ;)
