The Twilight Zone, from 1959 to 1963, is one of the most influential television programs of all time. There have been several reboots, the most recent of which was produced by acclaimed writer-director Jordan Peele just a few years ago, but it seems that no iteration has been able to reach the heights of the first. Of course, The Twilight Zone was an anthology series, which is by nature much less predictable than any other kind of show. Every episode tells its own unique story, and some are better than others.

One of the most influential movie critics of all time, Roger Ebert was never one to prioritize niceties when it came to writing poor performance reviews. His opinion held the weight of an audience member in every punctuation mark, swaying them to see or not to see a film, including curating a list of the movies he considered to be the greatest of all time. When it came to assessing the worst movies he had the displeasure of watching, Ebert held no punches when awarding 0-star reviews to some of the worst comedies of all time. Comedy is subjective, but his opinions on those features at the bottom of the barrel (and the ones he deemed below that) are scathing and unforgiving.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.
