Is Walking Distance the only one with mid-episode narration?


I don't seem to recall any other eps that had this.




I want the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.

"I Shot an Arrow" does as I recall

Also Time Enough At Last

Ah, right, now that you mention it, I remember that.

"I Sing the Body Electric" also does.

I believe The Hitchhiker has it, too.

I'm not sure any of these were what you'd call mid episode narrarations. I think some episodes had an introduction, then Rod talking, and then the rest of the episode. But some introductions were longer than others. Movies are sometimes that way too. Remember "Raising Arizona"? That movie had the longest introduction ever before the intro on-screen title and credits.

i kind of missed that mid-episode narration first times i heard the radio adaptation of the episode, though when it comes to the radio dramas "the monsters are due on maple street" has a bit of a different narration. in the beginning of "walking distance" he has a limp, spoiler, and he visits his past self and because of the future version of him the boy version falls off the merry-go-round and develops a limp, so i figure that means when martin sloan was a boy decades ago, he was visited by a stranger, which was himself from the future, it gives you the impression in the tv-episode towards the conclusion that thought crosses his mind. i wonder if his dad ever told the mother the whole story since he had discovered that the grown martin sloan was for real, that was never revealed in the tv episode or the radio drama. this episode is similar to "the incredible world of horace ford" which was what really got me hooked big time on the twilight zone, i got the dvd box just because i had to hear the radio adaptation of that on the extra material.

that i lost my swing.
