I like that in the fantasy dinner party they had learned how to make cheese. Cheese making would be my post-apocalypse fantasy too.

First song I thought of was 1945 by Social Distortion and I must register my disappointment and outrage that it did not make it into this article.

The reason Jason's face is not changed at the end is because when the mask is removed it reveals the true face of death, peaceful and at rest.

I used this episode to teach my 7th to 10th grade English classes characterization, sarcasm and foreshadowing. About every other week we'd do "Zone Out Friday." They are great tools to teach literary devices, the kids loved doing it. The Masks was one of their favorites, up there with Will the Real Martian Please…

I was thinking about the one where the woman doesn't know she's a mannequin. Terror at 20,000 and the one with the robot boxer would be good too.
The kids seem to really like the ones with twist endings and, like I said, they have to have plots that keep moving forward.

Oh, of course, Monsters was like the first one we watched. I left that out. Time enough we also did.
Can you remind me - the lonely and trade-ins -what are they about?

thanks for the compliment, that's mostly why I posted, just looking for people to tell me I'm awesome!
I don't know about showing either of those episodes. From what I remember of them, they kind of stall after the setup and the plot doesn't move forward much until the end. I really need episodes where the plot keeps…

Besides the episodes I mention above, we've watched:
What You Need
I Shot an Arrow into the Air
It's a Good Life
Living Doll

I teach 7th and 8th grade English and I used this episode  for one of our Zone Out Fridays just last week. The assignment was to write another scene to add to the end.
Most of the kids had the plane run out of fuel and crash. One had the plane land in 2000 and everyone from the plane placed big bets on the Super Bowl.

I teach 7-9 grade English and I started using episodes of TZ last year to teach literary analysis - theme, plot, characterization, setting, foreshadowing, mood, irony, etc.. We call it Zone Out Fridays. My favorite lessons to teach and kids love it too. I used I shot an  arrow last year to focus on characterization…
