The Twilight Zone (1959)

What's in the Box - S5-E24

Continuity mistake: When Joe goes to punch the TV screen, it shows moving lines and static. But in the shot where his fist goes through the screen, it's easy to see that the screen has been replaced with one on which wavy lines have simply been painted, and then backlit. The lines are still visible on the shards of glass after the screen is broken.

The Twilight Zone (1959)

Miniature - S4-E8

Trivia: This was the only hour-long TZ episode never put into syndication. At the time the series was originally syndicated, "Miniature" was involved in a lawsuit due to an earlier script being submitted that dealt with inanimate figures coming to life. The suit claimed that "Miniature" had stolen the idea. The case was dismissed by the initial judge and on appeal, but the damage was done. The episode was aired only twice, on February 21, 1963 and again in 1984 as part of the "Twilight Zone Silver Anniversary Special"; however, the episode is available on DVD and on streaming platforms.
