About this episode

The episode explores the themes of survival, relationships, and the impact of losing everything you love through the lens of a classic Twilight Zone story.

What does it take to ruin a life? We'll find out today on Post-Apocalyptia, as we look at the most famous episode of Rod Serling's The Twilight Zone, "Time Enough At Last"! We'll talk about relationships, duty, and the love of reading; and we'll ask ourselves, what good is survival if everything you love is gone? All this and more, as we accompany nearsighted bank teller Henry Bemis (played by the fantastic Burgess Meredith) into the Twilight Zone. Join us there, at the end of the world! The Twilight Zone is available for for paid subscription streaming on Paramount+, and for free with ads on Tubi; and also available on DVD.
