Fun fact: Kevin McCarthy (Walter Jameson) lived to the ripe old age of 96.

I love the old Twilight Zone episodes

I always liked this particular episode. I even memorized Walters talk with Sam from when he confronted him about the photo to when Sam thanked Walter and Walter said for what? and Sam said I thought if a man lived forever he’d grow wiser - but that isn’t true is it. To which Walter replied you just go on living - that’s all……

I choose to believe all these episodes take place somewhere on the same street since they use the same backlot set. I guess it would have to be Maple Street.

Ok all you Zone experts, I need some help. This episode and "The Changing of the Guard" both take place in schools. They both start out the episode with the same music. It's the only two times it was used in The Zone episodes. Does anyone know where it's from?

RJ Fletcher is the best.
