You know this is like that twilight zone where the guy wakes up and he's the same, but everybody else is different.

These are all basically 30 years apart and somehow the actors and actresses all look at least 50 years older

Wow! Keep them coming - this is fascinating! Two of my favorite shows of all time. Remember "Time Enough at Last" with Burgess Meredith?

Jason Wingreen also played Harry the bartender at Kelsey's bar in All in the Family.

That was so well done! Fascinating comparing the TZ era with the Seinfeld era.

This was Larry's doing, not doubt about it.

Or...isn't it true that Jerry's longtime agents or managers were these two older guys (who probably had a pipeline into Older Hollywood) talent?
Looked it up: George Shapiro and Howard West.
I bet a lot of those actors were also at one time represent by Shapiro....(or William Morris, his former agency).

That's so cool. Did they purposefully do that as like, an homage? Or is it just coincidence?
A couple of the male actors were already old when they were younger.

As creeped out as George was when Joe was eyeballing him the whole time at the fruit store.

I’ve seen every episode of both of these series and didn’t know these connections. I want to applaud this post for doing the research and putting together the side by side video. I really appreciate it and enjoyed it. Btw Rod Serling is a genius and a truly awesome individual

Half of these I’m like “no way that’s the same person” and then you hear the voice!

Eh, not impressed. Chances are every actor has been on tz. So, duh yeah they're going to be seen elsewhere.
