"Time Enough At Last" is probably the single best half-hour of episodic television ever produced. When I saw "Time Enough At Last", as a young boy, it struck a chord that resonates with me even now. Henry Bemis cannot engage in his love of reading, because of all the demands that his life puts on him, but he finally has the opportunity to indulge in his heart's joy after his hometown is devastated by a nuclear blast. The cruel irony of it all is, he'll never be able to enjoy his passion for reading without the people he's been trying so hard to get away from. Burgess Meredith gives a bravura performance as the put-upon bookwork who finally gets his time, and for whom "The Twilight Zone" has the most dastardly surprise of all. "Time Enough At Last" is from the landmark first season of "The Twilight Zone", and is highly recommended for anyone who enjoys intelligent, thought-provoking television.
