The Twilight Zone is a complete classic and it's even wilder some the episodes still hold up. Saw one making the rounds on TikTok the other night about a guy cheating death or maybe the grim reaper just let him die with dignity. In the end I went Simpsons. My son loves the show and it swayed my vote.

The Simpsons.

Both groundbreaking but Twilight Zone is more to my tastes and Sci-fi/horror tv wouldn’t be the same without it.
