« pocksucket : It is a good find, and worthy of a repost, I think.

But the first time I saw it was on Plime, and I do like to acknowledge these things when they have cropped up before.Very true.

I'm talking about the original one with Rod Serling.

I found an interesting site for old episodes but I can't find the one I am thinking of.I'm fairly certain that the one it is based on was from the 80's... It was called "Button Button", and I could not find it in the list of the original two seasons which can be watched in their entirety at cbs.com.

here's a link

It's a bloody good show, and ought to have been watched by everyone. And studied. In school.

Really. I think it was even from Plime that I found the link, although it was advertising Star Trek...]]>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/55449/1/rss2_0.rss#q21http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/55449/1/rss2_0.rss#q21plime.com « doggylives:Thats already been mentioned in a comment here lolNo, that comment mentioned the Twilight Zone series from the 80's.

The man was going to hell, not coming to hell.If he was speaking on behalf of God, then that's at least as bad, perhaps even worse. At least Satan gives everyone a fair chance. If God is in the business of tricking its constituency into making poor choices, then God is much like a used-car salesman.]]>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/55449/1/rss2_0.rss#q18http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/55449/1/rss2_0.rss#q18plime.com « hmtksteve : I seem to recall this being filmed for an episode of the origianl Twilight Zone series.Thats already been mentioned in a comment here lol]]>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/55449/1/rss2_0.rss#q17http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/55449/1/rss2_0.rss#q17plime.com http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/55449/1/rss2_0.rss#q16http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/55449/1/rss2_0.rss#q16plime.com « joeyneutrino : I found the end to be dreadfully predictable.

Also, Satan didn't make a fair deal with the protagonist. He held back the most critical information of all: that the gentleman was already dead, that the money wouldn't really go to help his family, that his fate for all eternity was at stake, etc.

Someone might argue of course that Satan, being evil, isn't in the business of making fair deals with people & their souls. But historically Satan has always (except in this case) been portrayed making perfectly fair deals with potential sinners. Satan always lays all the facts out in plain view. If not, the sinner wouldn't be responsible for its own decisions.That is true about Satan. But he wasn't Satan. He was God's Agent. He was God's Vicar.

I was kinda hoping that the button he pressed actually killed him. The irony would be amazing.

At the same time, it makes it even more interesting that the person before him pressed the button to kill him.
