I LOVE the original Twilight Zone series, but like the show, a lot of these stories are reflective of the times they were written. Nightmare at 20,000 Feet has smoking on an airplane.
Stories about the future set in the 1990s. Some of these are innocuous; some aren't. But the stories are still richly told. I could have sworn I'd seen every episode, but I didn't recall quite a few. Probably the best was 'I Sing the Body Electric' by Ray Bradbury. Very beautiful poetic writing. Other classic stories are 'Time Enough At Last' (which should appeal to everyone on Goordreads), 'An Occurrence At Owl Creek Bridge', my favorite episode 'To Serve Man', and 'Long Distance Call', which was turned into 'Night Call' for the series. That episode still scares the bejesus out of me (although this original story is altered a bit from the episode, if memory serves). Each story has the airdate and actors listed at the beginning.
