The Twilight Zone: The Big Tall Wish
Feb. 4th, 2026 07:00 pmAs I started watching “The Big Tall Wish” I suppose Rod Serling’s next-episode preview of it must have faded from my mind. Its first moments had me feeling as if I’d just been reminded it would involve an on-the-ropes boxer and the boy who believed in him. I might have remembered at some point that Serling had written Requiem for a Heavyweight (which I watched at the beginning of my “Turner Classic Movies period,” although that had to do with knowing Cassius Clay made a short but significant appearance in the movie before becoming Muhammad Ali), but I suppose I was wondering more if Serling’s sentimental streak would be out in force. Then, I had something larger to consider.
