How well do you remember the Twilight Zone classic ''Nightmare at 20,000 Feet''?
Can you wing it through questions about this episode?
Apologies to T.J. Hooker, but outside of Captain Kirk, William Shatner's greatest moment on television is perhaps "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet." He plays Robert — well, friends like us call him Bob — a passenger on a flight in The Twilight Zone.
The episode consistent ranks as one of the greatest of the series. It remains one of the most memorable television tales in history. No wonder it has been remade.
But how well do you remember the details? Step back aboard this eerie airplane and try to make it through the flight!

I really love this particular episode. Christine White and William Shatner are terrific in their roles. Christine White is also an attractive woman. The action scenes are fabulous.
5/18
Though it wouldn't change my terrible score in any significant way, I have to take issue with the first question. The "side" of the plane depends on which direction you are looking at it. Like in the accompanying photo to that question, where the plane is shown front to back, I believe Shatner was seated on the right side.

11/18 I have seen this episode many times and I saw the 1983 remake with John Lithgow. I am also a Star Trek fan and I'm very familiar with William Shatner. I can't believe I missed 7 questions. Most questions were on details you would not know if you watched this episode. I did not know there was a 2nd remake.
I guessed his age and his doctor's name. Good for me, I never saw that episode. Maybe one of these days.
I like this episode, it’s a good one. The way the monster jumps away does look like he is on a invisible rope. The monster suit looks like a giant teddy bears suit.His face looks like the character Wanda from In Living Color. I find that funny, but I still like the episode.
I don't mean to offend anyone, but I never understood the big deal made over this episode. From it's first showing till now, it always seemed kind of amateur to me, and the monster suit really bad.
You have to watch via "On Demand", because if you watch it on SyFy or MeTV, they usually cut the last seen where the gremlin is floating on the water....spoils the whole episode.
15/18. Doing great but those last three got me. Not as familiar with those side details as the episode itself.
