When I was a kid we couldn`t miss an episode. TV was actually a great thing back then.
FUN FACT: The Twilight Zone primary filming location was at the MGM studios located in Culver City, California. Some episodes also incorporated filming at Universal Studios in Hollywood, Pacific Ocean Park in Santa Monica and in Yuma, Arizona.
Literally none of that was fun!
I’ve seen both episodes over and over and love them! 🙏
Not many people know the character actor Edward Andrews in Third From The Sun. He is one my favorites.
He was great doing both dramatic and comedic roles. I loved him in the You Drive TZ episode.
@@sallyn2393: He was also outstanding in several of Hitchcock's tv programs. We are in an era where there are basically no more character actors.
I miss character actors. They elevated the performance of the main actors and improved the production.@@roberttelarket4934
I think he was in a couple of Disney movies, as well.
@@starling5188: I prefer him in sinister roles.
THANKS RICK!! These were both excellent episodes!
Those lighted electrical gauges in the background are from the movie " Forbidden Planet".
I noticed a lot of things in this video. Roddy McDowell in a zoo, very ironic considering his role in the movie Planet of the Apes. The men wear mini skirts, the women long dresses. The women had the Flashdance expose the shoulder look before it was even a thing. The PAC MAN lights. The very ugly wallpaper, curtains and patterned chairs all in the same room! Pass me some Roy Orbinsons my eyes hurt! 😎
But yes, no doubt in my mind, the sets are one in the same. Backstage tricks and stories never cease to amaze me. And you are the source for classic tv viewing amazement!
One last thing. To me, this channel is beyond earning awards or accolades. The work is not about how you should say things “properly”. or how you should do this and do that to earn praises in the comments section from the hard to please. It’s about the love of classic tv and how we can all see things differently in each episode we watch. The individual things that make us fans of the genre and how together through Rick’s channel, we can re-experience what we like and re-examine things we may not have noticed before, big or small, and as a result, learn to love these shows even more. Thank you Rick for all you do! 👍🏻
I can now see that this was the same set as used in The Time Machine, very cool!
You are right!
Never play cards on a glass table!
😂
It’s always cool to notice certain things that aren’t the most noticeable. Keep up the great work Rick, I hope you’re doing well. Have a great day and take care!
Thanks! Will do! You’ve been a great supporter for so long Jared and it means so much to me. Thank you
Did you notice elements from People Are Alike All Over were reused in the Star Trek pilot The Cage? Kidnapping a human male, lock him up in a zoo/menagerie, have the blonde female ease him into being a zoo attraction. The blond female is even the same actress, Susan Oliver, she plays Teenya in the Twilight Zone and Vina in Star Trek.
Yes so the story itself has been replicated many times with little twist changes here and yes. You’re right
Loved Susan Oliver as she was a delight to watch in all her roles.
That living room also reminds me of the living room on the Donna Reed Show.
Thanks! I was thinking that I'd seen it somewhere before!
I thought that too
I love both of these episodes. I feel very old now! It does look like the same set. Thanks Rick.
Glad you like them!
Those lights are Pac man characters...
They are! I noticed it too 😂
Those lights are from from the movie "Forbidden Planet", they are in on the walls of Dr. Morbius underground chambers near the end of the film when the Id is trying to break in
Seriously Rick, you not hurting my feelings telling me literally anything about a show that was sixty years ago. Even twenty years ago.
Tell away my boy
Great job, Rick! Another thing that I've noticed in the episode of "People Are Alike Everywhere": after they crash on Mars, Roddy McDowell's character, Sam Conrad, is looking for his fellow astronaut, Warren Marcusson (Paul Comi). Sam finds him unconscious under a mattress with headphones on. As Sam checks Marcusson's pulse he then goes to retrieve a syringe and comes back to give Marcusson a shot, the headphones are still on him, but as Sam looks away for a second and then looks back the headphones are no longer there, and are nowhere to be seen. Tell me what you think. Thanks!
I love your description of how the episodes are connected as the crux of the show. I had never thought of that before. Everything is connected somehow, someway, right? This was great, Rick. 👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it! Everything is connected and there are no coincidences
I was watching an old Mission: Impossible episode with Peter Graves and the action took place in a prison camp. It wasn;t hard to see that it was the same set used for Hogan's Heros with some set dressing to change the look a little.
Sets (particularly stock sets) are designed to be modular.
Thanks Rick for another interesting look into the art of filmmaking.
You bet
They do exist in the same universe. It's the mythical land called Hollywood.
For real fun check out how often the Star Trek away team landed in Mayberry.
On a similar note, the Air Force base set for the original Star Trek episode "Tomorrow is Yesterday" appears to be the same set as featured on "I Dream of Jeannie." Sharing amongst different productions would be a prime way of cutting costs for individual episodes. Sets, in particular, were a major expense in those days.
I know that I've seen the "Bewitched" set used in other productions.
The Bewitched house (some exterior, and the living room) was also used in the Brian's Song movie with Billy Dee Williams & James Caan.
Unfortunately for your hypothesis, IDOJ was Columbia and ST:TOS was Paramount ( originally Desilu studios till it ceased to exist in '68).
Back then the sets were made of panels on wheels, they could easily switch things around to fool you..they could take them apart in minutes setting up for another scene or show..they could also be stored easily and little space..
Great channel and content Rick! I wanted to add that I noticed your watermark on your videos .. they have that “Gilligans Island” font to them. What a great touch.
All done in...The Twilight Zone.
This set does look very familiar.
Possibly I Dream of Jeannie or Dennis the Menace and many others as well.
A very real possibility
IDOJ and DTM were made at Columbia. TZ first ep was at Universal Studios and the rest of the show was MGM.
I think that the simplest explanation for the similarity of the sets was that the studio just used what was available, without any deeper ideas that the two episodes took place in the same universe. That said, if anyone wanted to write "Twilight Zone" fanfiction that used this theory as the basis, it would work well enough . . . .
One thing I do remember from "Third from the Sun" was the car used by the family trying to escape to the spaceship, (the C-57D from "Forbidden Planet" fame.) At first, I thought I remembered it as the Tucker Torpedo, which had a very futuristic look. But when I researched it more, I found out the car in the episode was a customized 1951 Buick called The Blue Danube, built by famed customizer George Barris. One other thing I do remember was that instead of the rumble of an engine, this car made the sound of having a gas turbine engine. These details suggested that this was not a typical car from "our world," and was a nice touch!
69th like.
You are absolutely right. I’ve worked in tv studios in the 90’s. Sets are made of detachable panels that can be rearranged to create an entirely different set.
Especially given the network budgets back then [it took artistry to craft such great TV then, and of course GREAT scripts!], you are absolutely correct, Rick: They HAVE to be the same set.
"Dennis The Menace" set, too!!!
Actually, I believe that show was filmed on a set at Columbia/Warner Bros. Ranch in Burbank on a fictional street called "Blondie Street" (1959). Twilight Zone was a MGM production.
@@TroySR71Correct!!
Loved tbese two episodes now, but as a kid, they definitely were nightmare fuel. 😱
Haha nightmare fuel is right. They are creepy just with knowing what is going on. No extreme violence or blood, no assaults. Just the idea of being put in a zoo exclusive and being tricked into it is terrifying
If the same set means they are set in the same universe, does that mean the same actors are in the same universe? For example, the "crazy guy" on the plane with a gremlin is also the guy in the diner asking questions of the devil headed fortune telling machine.
It does mean the same actors would be in the same universe. You’re right. It just shows crazy experiences throughout their lives. The man in third from the sun is the same one when the car drives by itself later on in the series
Thanks 😊 for taking me to THE TWILIGHT ZONE, Rick. You're the best. 😃
Rick,
Thanks for another fun episode! Ironically, I just watched "The Time Machine" a few weeks ago.
Best always and be hopeful!
Paul +
I love both of these episodes!
Wondering if they did use the same set and just add or redesign the things in the room. It does look like the same set.
Bit of a stretch there. Best of Days to you and yours.
Stretching is good for the mind and body
Good catch! Thank you. I think you're spot on.
The giveaway, or the beginning of it, for me in the third planet episode, was when they pulled up to the spaceship the car sounded like a jet turbine.
The living room is also used in "Leave It To Beaver'>
Hey rick! I enjoy the content of your videos, i feel you advertise truthfully and fairly, and I enjoy what you do, our tastes in tv is pretty similar. The critics be dammed rick, full speed ahead!
It reminds me of one of the house's in either Bewitched or Bever
Hey, Rick!
If we go by the same logic, we could also say that all of the episodes we see exterior shots of the houses from the recently demolished Universal studios "ranch" (home to Desperate Housewives, The Partridge Family, I Dream of Jeannine, Bewitched, My Three Sons, Father Knows Best, Gidget, Lethal Weapon and so many more...) all these episodes and series therefore all exist in the same universe. I guess some parts of Morning Glory Circle are more quiet than others...
Of course. Many talk about how 'I Dream of Jeannie" and 'Bewitched' are related and also use many of the same sets
A bit off topic, but Susan Oliver (People are alike all over) was one of the most beautiful actresses in Hollywood in the '60's. And that voice........❤
I'd binge watched the series 'One Step Beyond' and noticed that sometimes they appeared to reuse sets as well. Now I wonder if TZ and OSB ever shared sets? The TZ set here does seem to resemble a couple of OSB episodes.
Many of the sets, props and painted backdrop are reused from Forbidden Planet (1956)
It blew my mind Rick awesome video once again very detailed buddy
I wonder why they changed that background door (notice the paneling and the door knob placement)? Seems like a very minor detail to even futz with.
Another great video. I look forward to each one. Thanks
I don't see these episodes often enough and in quick enough succession to each other for me to have caught this. I've seen them all, but did not notice this quite interesting detail. In a couple of the shots I thin you can see Vic Perrin. He's the one that was the 'intro voice for The Outer Limits, and he was the 'guy in the costume' for a lot of the enemies in the Sci Fi shows....like Star Trek, "The Arena"......fun fact.
I never knew about that. Thanks for sharing. 😁
I am pretty sure that in third rock, they talked about traveling to another star. The reason I remember is because the miles that they said they were needing to travel were far too little to be going to another star. If this is true then they could not have been going from Mars to Earth.
Also, tho the sets are likely the same, they aren't the same house as the fire place is different, smaller with a book case between it and the area going to the front door. this is far more than a simple cosmetic change if different people are arranging a normal house. The fireplace is rarely completely changed in shape and placement.
That house looks very much like the Leave it to Beaver set as well.
I love the way third from the sun is shot. At a tilt everywhere, every shot just about is at a different angle, like Batman, when you're with the villains. That clue that says you're not where you think you are. But yes the sets do look the same. I have noticed others as well. Both episodes are fantastic! Love Roddy McDowell.
The same house is used with The Ring a ding Girl and Talky Tina.
I mean the same set for these episodes, not the one shown above.
Hi Rick, Cool video.
Here's another example of the same thing turning up in two episodes of The Twilight Zone - In this case it's the same business facade. In the episodes Execution and Printer's Devil, you'll see the facade for a nightclub named Jim Henry's Paradise. This was actually left over from the movie Cabin in the Sky.
I also noticed that the kitchen in Roddy's ep was also used in the Nancy Malone ep.
Rick the fireplace was moved farther from the front door so a book case could be placed there. But in studieos all sections of the walls were interchangeable not a real home minus third wall.
And fireplaces weren't real fireplaces.
That set really reminds me of one of the main character's homes in the series Grimm.
Anybody?
A sixties TV show reusing an old set? Astonishing!
I like both but People are a like all over is better. The ending is more of a surprise. You know Rick always enjoy your videos. Twilight Zone turns 65 on October 2, 2024, me on Oct. 6th!
Happy Birthday to the ZONE
It’s amazing how they were able to build a home out of materials that weren’t present on Mars. As you noticed the entire planet seem to be nothing but rock. Thought that with that kind of ingenuity and intelligence, you’d think they would’ve had the ability to have some sort of space program so they could explore outside their planet. Just a thought. Oh and I would have thought Rodey McDowell would have wound up on the planet of the apes instead of Mars!
I'm reminded of a season 1 episode of Banacek, too, where a valuable book went missing. This looks like the home of perhaps a suspect in the disappearance.
I believe some of the spacecraft interior from People are Alike is from the movie Forbidden Planet. Twilight Zone reused many of the props and set dressings from that movie.
💯 truth
The writers made it to easy to figure out in the episode “Third From The Sun” The car noise, the telephone to begin with.
I noticed on twilight zone good people more than bad have a bad fate
Good eye...good theory Rick. 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾
No, it doesn't surprise me. In fact it makes perfect sense, as you have pointed out so many times before. Given the limited budgets back then, they would reuse sets, often with just a little redressing.
Maybe the set was used in later episodes. Many episodes can be in the same universe. For example did you know the truck that Cliff Robertson saw in "100 Yards Over the Rim" was the same one that the bad guys used in "The Rip Van Winkle Caper." So I figured when Robertson saw the truck it was being driven by Oscar Beregi and company on the way to hibernating in the cave.
The Rip Van Winkle Caper." had such an incredible ending. My dad very very seldom laughed but he went into hysterics
It's a fun theory, but it doesn't work. Note that at the end of the episode they are out at night talking about the stars looking far away, and one says that the star they want is not so far and that it's a shiny bright one over on the right. But if they were on Mars, they wouldn't be referring to it as a star, it would be the sun, the same as ours, just a little bit smaller than we see it (as we've seen from our own landers). No way they'd confuse the (daytime!) sun of Mars -- our sun -- with a star. So, it's not Mars.
What do all the episodes especially the space-themed episodes and take a shot every time you know something from forbidden planet
Hmmm, never noticed that before but it looks like you are right. Same room with slight changes. I have the whole set so I think I need to start at the beginning and watch carefully for things to compare.
Rick you didn't mention that the chain link fence in both episodes are the same. When Roddy is behind it and then Fritz Weaver is standing in front of it. Same fence same "No Smoking Beyond This Point" signs.
I liked both episodes.
Heck, re-using sets? Even today it's commonplace. Star Trek in particular does it often, especially a very expensive starship "bridge".
Both episodes are good, but I'm with you. I prefer People are Alike.
You might also mention that a LOT of props that are in the future, episodes are also in one of the greatest Science Fiction movie of its time FORBIDDEN PLANET in 1956
Hey Rick, seeing that Rob Zombie's remake of The Munster's is playing on the SYFY channel today, I'll be recording it. Haven't seen it yet. 😍
Budget restrictions required innovative thinking and creative reuse of sets.
Pretty sure I have seen those "Pac Man" lights on other shows, and perhaps Forbidden Planet. That is the real mystery to me.
The Krell readout board, yes.
Are you willing to go on" LA 50's tour" I would pay for your time and gas and would love to be on a video!
The people are alike all over also contains character actor Vic Peran who was the narrator on ABC’s version of “Twilight Zone” called “The Outerlimits”. He also appeared in the “Mirror Mirror” version of “Star Trek “ and Susan Oliver was in the pilot episode of “Star Trek” best known for her :Green Slave Girl.” Of course Rodney Mc Dowel appears as one of the apes in “Planet of the Apes.” Small world.
Have a great day!
I'm probably wrong, but the displays in the background at 8:12 look similar to the Krell "Dials" from Forbidden Planet. Maybe they just copied the style from the film. I did a Google image search with: forbidden planet krell dials
Yes Forbidden Planet did share some set pieces with this episode. It shared pieces with many other TV shows and movies at the time. Repurposing at its best
Research for next video. Is the interior from 2 and a Half Men the same as the interior from Laverne and Shirley when they moved to California? Another question - why was the Three’s Company set never reused? Or maybe it was?
Forbidden planet must be part of that same “ universe” as I see Krell technology on both space ships. The pie shaped gauges with one slice removed. Also the ship in third from the Sun is the future earth C-57 cruiser set with Krell gauges added.
There's also remnants in the second one of the control boards those Pac-Man looking things in the background those are from The Forbidden Planet
That episode scared the Gee Willikers out of me when i was a kid. My older brother after the episode told me next time we go to the zoo my dad was going to put me in a cage so people could look at me forever
😮😮😮😮😮
I saw this on a star trek episode. The captain went back in time to reset the natural timeline where he met a woman who had to die (Joan Collins the city on the edge of forever) episode so Hitler couldn't be the first to be the atom bomb maker. And the backdrop was Floyds barber shop from the Andy Griffin in show in Mayberry! And it was a fan favorite. Mine too!!
Its a COOK BOOK! 📙
Of course they repurposed sets, and props. Their budget was small. Star Trek also had small budgets. Zone made some episodes in only one or two rooms.
If they saved money on some episodes, they would have more to spend on later episodes. Filming on location is expensive.
Watch Space: 1999 to see repurposed sets and props.
Same set yes. Same universe no.
Um... while we appreciate the thought, please realize you can't "spoil" something that has been around over 60 years. It's like saying you don't want to give any spoilers about the Second World War... mustn't reveal the big ending!
Been a fan of the show and never noticed that.
What if you're right about it being from the same universe, you're not thinking about it the right way. What do I mean is
People are alike all over is the happen first. They read his minds and made his home, at the end there was one person not alright with caging a human from earth. With a race that read thoughts about to learn things from him and one that would be willing to free him others would slowly think the same it's human nature... Slowly there be fights and people start wanting to live like earthlings do... This growth would lead us to Third Rock From the Sun.
Or that's my thoughts anyway
*Behind a tiny ship heading into space is a doomed planet on the verge of suicide. Ahead lies a place called Earth, the third planet from the Sun. And for William Sturka and the men and women with him, it's the eve of the beginning-in the Twilight Zone.*
Of course they recycled sets. They were on a budget, they filmed in limited studio locations, and they had limited time. No big revelation. Look at how many sets were recycled in Star Trek, and the same locations reused in many shows back then. Vasquez Rocks is a famous one.
No big deal that sets are similar
You mean “ revelation “. Reveal is a verb. I am so tired of this F ing ignorance that goes on forever.
Mind blown. Not.
How to ruin episodes of The Twilight Zone in 8 minutes and 49 seconds. Why is it a fad to tear apart movies and TV shows to show mistakes, inaccuracies, etc? Just leave them alone and let us continue to enjoy them.
