A classic of the series!

"Time Enough" is one of the classic episodes of The Twilight Zone. It is a definite must see. Burgess Meredith is wonderful as the mousy bank teller who only wants more time to read books. When he finds himself alone on the planet due to nuclear war, he finally finds the time for reading he has always longed for. No job, no wife, no distractions. Just he, Shaw, Shakespeare, and Shelly. Meredith is key to this episode. His portrayal of mousy Henry Bemis is sympathetic and memorable. We empathize with him as he trudges through his daily work, withstands his domineering wife, and finally walks through a nuclear waste ground. We also understand his joy when he is able to escape for a few minutes into a book. A wonderful episode I give 10 out of 10.
