| 0:00.0 | Day 17 of the Twilight Zone podcast Advent Calendar. |
| 0:13.0 | And our friend Joe Brown says, |
| 0:15.1 | What is the best Twilight Zone episodes penned by the following writers? |
| 0:21.2 | So let's do this like for like Zach. |
| 0:25.6 | Okay. |
| 0:26.1 | But we'll start maybe at the bottom of the list if that's cool with you. |
| 0:30.2 | Yeah. |

| 1:22.6 | And I enjoyed that one quite a bit. |
| 1:24.1 | I saw that one randomly, again, on the sci-fi channel as we watch here |
| 1:28.3 | in America, it just came up. And I was like, that's a good one from season five. So, |
