-
Pick out this woman: "This is the woman who lives in the house, a woman who's been alone for many years, a strong, simple woman whose only problem up until this moment has been that of acquiring enough food to eat, a woman about to face terror, which is even now coming at her from - The Twilight Zone."
-
Pick out Lou Bookman: "Street scene: Summer. The present. Man on a sidewalk named Lou Bookman, age sixtyish. Occupation: pitchman. ... , Lou Bookman will have to concern himself with survival – because as of three o'clock this hot July afternoon, he'll be stalked by Mr. Death."

Pick out Mr. Henry Bemis: "Witness Mr. Henry Bemis, a charter member in the fraternity of dreamers. A bookish little man whose passion is the printed page, but who is conspired against by a bank president and a wife and a world full of tongue-cluckers and the unrelenting hands of a clock."

Pick out the Martian: "You've heard of trying to find a needle in a haystack? Well, stay with us now, and you'll be part of an investigating team whose mission is not to find that proverbial needle, no, their task is even harder.

13/13 - seen every episode too many times to miss on any of those intros. Of course, one minor mistake in the quiz - the soda jerk in "Will The Real Martian Please Stand Up?" was not actually the Martian in the episode. John Hoyt, referred to once as a "lemon sucker" during the episode, was actually the three-armed Martian, while the soda jerk was the three-eyed invader from Venus
13/13 ACED!

Vera Miles in a memorable episode - Mirror Image
Of course in question six everyone knows the picture is of a Venusian, not a Martian.
Indeed - John Hoyt actually played the Martian in the episode
You got 10 out of 13

You got 13 out of 13? There's one for the angels.
A good early episode that included a young Murray Hamilton long before he insisted "Those beaches will be open!"
13 out of 13

12/13 A Rod Serling character could be endearing devious ruthless downtrodden or sad, but never ever forgettable. Although I have yet to see the episode with the three 👁 alien. Great quiz!
12/13, I missed "Pip". Incidentally, the counterman from "Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up?" wasn't the Martian. He was a Venusian whose troops were attacking the Martian's, who was the old man with three arms.
Yes the soda jerk from Venus had already established a colony there and Hoyt and his Martian invaders were about to be pummeled upon arrival. Fun times at the Hi-Way Cafe!
11/13 #3 could be 1 or 2.

For the real Twilight Zone nerds, identify the episode name, character name, actors name, and plot of every image in the quiz.
Question 6 is wrong, the lunch counterman (Actor Barney Phillips) was from Venus, not Mars. In a classic Twilight Zone twist ending, Mr. Ross (Actor John Hoyt), a cranky curmudgeon passenger on the bus reveals his third arm from under his coat. He tells the shocked counterman that he is from Mars and that the area is a quiet pleasant place to settle and that a colony ship from Mars is on the way. After the shock wears off, the counterman tells him that he agrees that it is a pleasant place to live, and that "...we people on Venus had the idea years ago", he then reveals that his name is not really Haley. He states that the colony ship from Mars has been intercepted and that a colony ship from Venus will be arriving instead. He states, "A colony ship will be arriving, but it will be from Venus, not Mars, and if you're still around, I think you'll see how we're different!" He then removes his hat to reveal his third eye, as he begins a chilling and evil laugh.
The intro is about the PEOPLE in the diner who have to pick out the martian, that's why I almost checked all three of them! When I was uncertain about the woman, I played it safe and selected the moxt reliable "searcher" who was also a Venusian on the downlow!
Yes, but the Martian arrived with the bus driver and six passengers, while the soda jerk was already in the Hi-Way Cafe
11/13
Bring back Planet of the Apes. Go get Space 1999. Put forth the great Fantasy Island. C'mon metv let's get these shows back on air. Think big and lasso JR Ewing. That's right, Dallas needs a retro comeback.
Comet Tv shows Space 1999. But the Planet of The Apes TV show? Monkey poop.
DALLAS (and The BEVERLY HILLBILLIES seasons 5 to 9) are probably the only shows with trees in 'em that won't get on my nerves due to endless repitition!) Consider moving The ADDAMS FAMILY to Saturdays 1 hour before SVENGOOLIE! I LOVE the show but it has fewer episodes than STAR TREK to be shown on weeknights! Another station overplays a similar show and The BIONIC WOMAN, which is why I don't watch them!

I might have watched one, or two, episodes of 'The Twilight Zone'.

And a cheesy-looking eye it is!
In "Mr. Dingle, The Strong", the Martian(s)(?) had two heads with a radar antennae on one of them.
Correct - John Hoyt played the Martian
