I own a book entitled, "The Twilight Zone Companion". It's a great and thorough book, where the author examines each and every episode. In relating to this particular episode, the author wrote that the actor who plays "Rocky Valentine' was miscast, and over acted the role to a point of being a B movie gangster. I respectfully have to disagree. I think "both" actors played their roles perfectly. I also think that this is one of those underrated episodes which gets less than it deserves. The very end, where "Pip" laughs demonically over Valentine's horrific revelation, was chilling. One of my all-time favorites.

Someone else in his shoes may be like ok, well this certainly beats that "burning in hellfire forever" thing I've always heard about. Even if he just relaxes, enjoys the women, etc., there's much worse ways to spend eternity. I'm curious to see what else there is in his "world," places to explore, maybe even finding some secrets.

If humans don't have something to discover, to explore, something to fight for or against, something to conquer, something to overcome, we will be completely unhappy, eventually to the point of suicide.

Sitting on a cloud playing a harpsichord might not seem so bad for the first ten million years but might look a very boring prospect for the next ten billion! And what about the ten trillion after that! When faced with these kind of eternal life problems non thinking Christians, as well as afterlife believers in general, just tell themselves god, or a higher force, has taken care of this! I'd love to know how.

@@anilomd Thank you for proving my point about non thinking Christians. Try and ponder this question: If life on earth is based around staving off boredom (its a constant search for activities to fill in time to stop us getting restless) and yet even the most adventurous thrill seekers among us still cant avoid getting bored sometimes, then what magical ingredient does an eternal afterlife contain that serves up a perfect 'no boredom' meal? Can you offer speculations (other than God's increasing revelation - what does that even mean) on how an existence of a trillion times a trillion times a trillion years would never produce one moment of boredom! An emotionless machine, like a computer, could survive it!

Maybe it's a Basoon.

Quite possibly the best Twilight Zone episode ever, and that's saying a lot! BTW Larry Blyden and Sebastian Cabot were ideal actors for this lesson.

Just started watching the series and this is definitely one of my favorites so far the ending was soo sinister lol I’m still laughing lol

I think this is a pretty solid episode, one that I enjoyed a lot. As happens in The Twilight Zone, some episode endings are pretty much telegraphed and you know what the ending is going to be. Regardless, even though I figured out the episode’s “twist”, it didn’t take away from the enjoyment of this story!

I remember reading Sebastian Cabot needed a lot of convincing to get his hair fully bleached, but they were able to get him by saying how critical it was for him to have an angelic appearance with white hair and a white suit.

One of my greatest fears is immortality, and I can't say for sure but I think watching this episode as a kid may have helped solidify that.

I used to have this seemingly never ending fear of am eternity of nothing, but I'm aware of it forever! I think it's whatever you want it to be, like your own private existence in immortality, what you choose to experience etc. basically is what you deserve I guess, maybe the afterlife isn't perfect either?!

I remembered this as a kid and it scared the crap out of me. I don't remember them visiting his records though that was pretty insightful for the 50's. Now with all this new age material thats out there it reminds me of the Akashic records.

Larry Blyden met a tragic early end. He was vacationing alone in Morocco when he was killed in a car accident. Accounts differ about the circumstances. Some have claimed that it was a carjacking and that he was left for dead by the perpetrators. The official account makes it sound more like was alone in the car and merely went off the road

The Pipster was hilarious as he began laughing his ass off upon Val's terror knowing that the truth was out of the bag.

Great story and acting. Larry Blyden(Rocky) went on to other projects (including another guest role on "TZ" and a stint as a game show host) before his untimely death after a car crash in 1975.

If James Avery were still alive, he'd be perfect in the role of Pip.

I'm surprised that no one mentioned that Mr. Valentine stopped wearing the flashy suit and was now wearing a poor man's white shirt, suspenders, Black corduroy pants. In 1960 this was the equivalent of T shirt and shorts that everyday people wear. That was a clue he was so over his flashy, fun, glamorous and materialistic "Heaven." :)

One of my favorite episodes.

You know Valentine could’ve easily laid out a whole plan to orchestrate loosing at times for a while, then have Pip erase his memory of him laying out the whole plan, that way it still resembled his life before.

"Sometimes God punishes you by giving you whatever you want" - Mike Tyson.

Although this was always meant to be an implication that this was 'hell' I personally feel that it was actually not 'hell' but more of 'heaven' and 'hell' intertwined, and it only became a torture and 'hell' because Valentine made it so during his time there. The famous Eagles song "Hotel California" which was inspired by this interpretation of the afterlife even says in the lyrics "That this could be heaven or this could be Hell". Valentine even said it was always how he imagined 'heaven' to be and which he thought was at first until he started getting bored. It's all based on perception and subjective, and while he doesn't get to see his loved ones again he's not exactly alone with Pip (who isn't a prop and not even really a demon despite the laugh at the end which was merely done for effect of the twist ending) being his guide and someone who he's supposed to talk to as a way to try and redeem himself and his bad deeds and learns from his mistakes while he was alive and make a difference by not indulging in the materialistic and free meaningless wealth given to him on a silver platter even if it's too late. The idea of having eternal pleasure and everything you could possibly want could be torturous enough to the point it becomes 'hell', and I believe a 'Nice Place to Visit' was a prime example of heaven that became hell and not something that was always hell. To an actual genuine greedy person, however, that's often socially distant, looks at women as just sex props, loves wealth, and really loves winning this wouldn't be considered 'hell' and would never become such.

and for Rocky, if I were Rocky, I would change things up every once in a while to minimize the boredom. Rocky was free to change up his life if he wanted to. The only real downside is the knowledge none of it is real. For example, knowing my imaginary Supreme Court rules how I want them to every time, I would be pretty upset knowing that the real Supreme Court is still making life worse for everyone in America (provided there still is an America)

This episode shows exactly why the original Twilight Zone was a FANTASTIC show. Sebastian Cabot was such an underrated actor.

One of my favorite posts on here is something like, "I think I would have went crazy myself if I were Rocky. Those Props were programmed to cheer for everything he did no matter how bad it really is. He could have dropped his pants and his underwear and taken a dump right on the streets and the Props would have cheered since they were programned to do so. And Rocky knew they were programmed to cheer for everything he did. I don't think I would have liked being cheered by programmed Props for everything I did no matter how bad it truly is." Good post. :)

Mickey Rooney was intended for the 'Valentine' part but wasn't available, nor was Rod Serling, so they chose Cabot (who had to take weeks getting the white dye out of his hair).

Let's put what is happening to Rocky in perspective. This is the equivalent of being forced to eat ONLY your favorite foods and drink ONLY your favorite drinks. You might enjoy your favorite foods and drinks for like a month before you eventually start to get tired of them. You would start to crave other foods and drinks too, but find you are stuck with only your favorite foods and drinks for all eternity. :/

Serling made a similar episode for "Night Gallery," where John Astin (as a hippie) ends up in a room where all of the music is by Lawrence Welk, the wallpaper is "quaint," and then has to sit through a married couple's slide show of their vacation. It is his version of Hell.

Larry Blyden and Sebastian Cabot are superb in this teleplay. Their entirely credible performances (with a great script, of course) make this episode so memorable and chilling.

Rocky has been informed he can have anything he wants, so I have a proposal for Rocky. If I were in Rocky's position, I would change things up to make it a little less boring; one day, I could spend at the beach, the next at the pool, the next hiking in the mountains, the day after that chilling on my Nintendo Switch, the next day creating a website that goes viral, and so on.

Strange as I never saw Pip as the villain of the story. The villain is Rocky, a man who, as is records show, has no redeeming features whatsoever. Eve at the end he shows no remorse for his crimes, only annoyed that he can't commit them with some semblence of a gamble so he can feel like he beat the odds. He is in Hell for the bad man that he is, Pip is merely part of the elaborate trap used for Rocky to pretty much punish himself.

He also couldn’t leave. I think the “getting everything he ever wanted” applied to material wishes of someone superficial and possesses the shallow traits of this realm.

Larry Blyden(who plays Rocky) died of injuries sustained in a car crash in 1975.

The title is smart: "A Nice Place to Visit" Meaning that Rocky was having such a good time at the beginning, the nice house, the suits, the booze, the girls, the money, the cars, the gambling, everything he possibly could have wanted. But the more he stayed, the more he felt confined to a never ending cycle of boredom from everything being so perfect. Where he now lived probably was a nice place to visit every now and then but actually living there would eventually become a nightmare.
