Well, after thinking about it, I believe the episode I was talking about may have been from Night Gallery rather than Twilight Zone after all. Just not a TV person.

I don't remember that one, but last summer when we had
a heat  wave I remembered the one where people were in
a room suffereing from heat nd comcplaining and trying
to cool off and I think the weather actually was
freezing. I don't remember that one too clearly--maybe
I have it in reverse.

I do remember the one with the hairy beast on the
airplace wing, though. They used that episode when
they made the movie, though with a different actor, of
course.

I didn't see many of the Twilight Zone episodes, but
if my memory isn't completely astray, wasn't there
one about a woman who regains her sight for just one
day, then looses it and is so distressed that she -
I think - jumps out a window?  Does that ring a bell
with anyone?

  I remember one Twilight show in which the daughter
of an older couple wants freedom but her parents
want her to stay at home and be content with their
daughter. Their servants are all robots which her
father created. It turns out that the daughter is
also a robot which he created because he couldn't
have a child of his own. The program ends with his
reprogramming his daughter to become a servant who
is content with her lot in life. Profound, yes?

  I only saw a couple of the older Outer Limits
episodes. If I remember correctly, old program
frightened me and the new one isn't that exciting. I
loved Star Trek, though.

    Dear Twilight Zoners,

    All of the episodes you describe ring fond bells
of recognition with me. The
    first Twilight Zone episode I saw frightened and
moved me profoundly when I
    was 8, and I haven't seen a rerun of it since. A
little girl was killed, hit
    by a car, I think. A man in a suit was walking
about. He was death. A very
    old man convinced death to let her live but
death said he had to take
    someone, so the old man accepted that necessity
and died of what I remember
    as a stroke or heart attack or was he hit by the
car instead? Of all days,
    on the day we learned that Gustavo died, it's
particularly sad to remember
    that show.

    You Trek fans may have noticed William Shatner,
Captain Kirk, in 2 Twilight
    Zone episodes. In one he was a man scared out of
his wits of flying. On a
    return plane ride with his wife, he thinks he is
overcoming his phobia when
    he notices a heary beast climbing toward him on
the airplane's wing. Nobody
    else sees it, so by the time the plane lands,
he's lost his mind.

    He is a man stopping with his wife at a diner in
the other episode. He puts
    a coin in a fortune telling machine. When he
receives an enigmatic answer to
    his question on a little slip of paper that
shoots out of the table top
    machine, he puts another coin in and asks
another question which leads to
    another question and another until he is
maniacally stuffing coins in to the
    machine, begging for change, bound to the
machine and confounded by his
    unanswerable questions.

    I remember more tales but might be confusing
some of them with Outer Limits!
    Keep the stories coming. They are fun and a
welcome distraction.

    Always with love,

    Lissi
