- TriviaOne of only three episodes to feature the introductory line, "Submitted for your approval" during Rod Serling's opening narration, which is the phrase usually most associated with the show's monologues.
- GoofsWhen the helicopter is shown frozen in flight the blades are shown as a blur, the result of the rotor moving too fast to be caught by the camera's slower frame rate.
- Quotes
McNulty: [early draft; later revised] Say, uhm... You wouldn't be interested in having dinner, would ya?
Secretary: If the world as we know it was about to end, if you were its most prominent restauranteur, and if I weren't very happily married already, I *might* be. But it isn't, you aren't, and I am; so *drift*, McNulty.

Featured review
The Chronometer
McNulty is an annoying and talkative man hated by everybody he knows. His boss Mr. Cooper cannot support him anymore and fires McNulty. Now he spends his spare time in the bar of Joe Palucci, scaring away his costumers. One night, McNutty meets an old man and buys him a beer; in return, the man gives a stop-watch to him. Soon McNutty finds that the stop-watch is capable to stop the time, and he decides to brag to his acquaintances. However, nobody believes him and McNutty decides to go further with the stop-watch, with serious consequences.
"A Kind of a Stopwatch" is a great episode of "The Twilight Zone". McNulty is indeed an irritating man that likes to give opinion and brag to everybody he knows. But he will certainly regret of his stupid action with the stop-watch. At least in the Twilight Zone. My vote is seven.
