Favourite Twilight Zone TV Episodes?

A quick dose of information for those who aren't aware of this show: The Twilight Zone is an anthology series that presents a different story and a different set of characters in each episode, each unrelated to the other (although sometimes the same cast members would appear).

Its original series (filmed in black and white) ran in 1959 to 1964 for 5 seasons. A revived series ran from 1985 to 1989 for 3 seasons and a another revived series ran in 2002 for 1 season. Furthermore, the series had a movie (sadly made infamous by a tragic helicopter crash), radio plays and other spin-offs - including parodies on other TV shows such as various "Treehouse of Horror" episodes on The Simpsons.

Here's the original and revived series openings:


For those of you who watched the show, which episodes were your favorites?


I've got a few which I like such as A Small Talent for War, Shelter Skelter, To See the Invisible Man, A Kind of Stopwatch, Night of the Meek, etc.
If I had to pick only one, however, my favorite is probably A Message from Charity - I'm a bit of a sucker for the happier stuff in this series and it has an interesting sci-fi element to it.

Oh my. Too many favorite episodes to list!

Since learning I am on the spectrum, I do take much delight in that I fully comprehend irony. IMO irony has always been a "cornerstone" of virtually every episode of the Twilight Zone.
 
The original series is currently available on Netflix, minus season 4 though. I remember watching the 1980's version during its broadcast years. There was also a series called 'Amazing Stories', that had a cartoon about a dog that was hilarious! Rod Serling fought battles with network executives over product placement in his show. He tended to write his disdain for this practice into some of his scripts.
