In the Hellgrammite Method, A desperate alcoholic utilizes a horrifying method in order to get clean. Our Selena is Dying, a remake of an earlier Rod Serling penned Twilight Zone episode.
The Call features William Sanderson as a lonely bachelor who connects over the phone with a potential love unfortunately she's an exhibit at the local art museum.

We continue the slog of the third season with two episodes about memories and dreams: In "Dream Me a Life" (written by J. Michael Straczynski), Eddie Albert dreams about a catatonic widow. Meanwhile in "Memories" (written by Bob Underwood), a specialist in past life regression enters an alternate reality where everyone remembers their previous incarnations.

It's time for a Paul Lynch double feature with The Hunters and The Crossing, two episode from October 1988. They're two fairly typical Twilight Zone episodes with visions from the past menacing or haunting the present.

Welcome to the Twilight Zone, J. Michael Straczynski! The new head writer starts off the third season with an episode directed by René Bonnière, The Curious Case of Edgar Witherspoon, in which Harry Morgan keeps the universe running. After that we discuss Extra Innings in which Marc Singer becomes an all-star baseball player.

Roberts Blossom returns to The Twilight Zone in Song of the Younger World in which a boy in love... turns into a wolf? The second half of the episode is The Girl I Married which is yet another "what could have been" story.

Season 2 of The Twilight Zone starts to wind down with an episode that was supposed to be longer but cut down to meet the new time restrictions, Time and Teresa Golowitz, and another that feels overly long in its half hour slot, Voices in the Earth.

The Twilight Zone '85 is in trouble. CBS is breaking up episodes into half-hours rather than hour-long shows. Here we have a couple of fair-to-middling episodes along with a strong shorter segment.

We're plowing through Season 3 where shows were halved in order to meet 100 episodes to get the show syndicated. On this episode of Dreams for Sale we're discussing The Road Less Traveled (TZ85 S03 E07) along with The Card, and The Junction (TZ85 S03E08). The new time format lopped about 20 minutes out of The Road Less Traveled which is the story of a Vietnam draft dodger who meets a version of himself who went to war. Meanwhile, The Card fleetingly discusses yuppie status and spending and The Junction is a meeting of old and "current" timelines.

Ont the latest episode of Dreams for Sale we discuss Thomas J. Wright's The Toys of Caliban about a mentally-challenged man with special powers. We also talk about The Convict's Piano, a solid story from James Crocker about a prisoner with a very special piano.

On this episode of Dreams for Sale: The Twilight Zone '85 Podcast we look at The After Hours -- a remake of a classic TZ episode, Lost & Found -- yet another "my possessions are missing" episode, and The World Next Door in which George Wendt trades places with a version of himself from an alternate dimension.
