One of the things I love the most about this episode is the subtlety of everything going on. Sherman is absolutely terrified of the demon initially and is constantly backing away from him and trying to keep himself from getting cornered. However, once he has the information he needs in only two out of the three questions, he knew that he had him. The demon approaches Sherman and he doesn't even flinch. He just stands his ground and knows exactly what to do at that point. Great, memorable performances by both. Rest in Peace, Sherman and Ron.
I appreciate the subtle pacing and motion in this. If you pay attention, you see how Sam carefully keeps his distance from the demon. Every time the demon gets anywhere near him, he steps away to avoid him. He doesn't let the monster close to him until the end when he curtly dismisses the creature.
"My juice" "Not a one, babe" "I hate to lay these negative vibes on you" "Lay it on me, babe" The professor uses proper english the whole episode, but when he tasks the devil, he uses slang. "Get Lost"
Truly one of the best episodes not just of the 80’s revival, but across ALL of “The Twilight Zone” incarnations. It’s tense, it’s funny, the writing is whip-smart, and the actors do a phenomenal job with the material. Sherman Helmsley’s move from terrified to frustrated to utterly confident is perfection, and Ron Glass’s Devil is just charming (and sexy!) enough to be alluring...and just menacing enough to be terrifying. It holds up after nearly forty years. Well done!
I remember this episode like it was yesterday, I cant believe nearly 40 years have passed. That's almost Twilight Zone-ish by itself. The ending line is brilliant.

Reminds me of an old Asimov story. A guy tells a robot to "get lost" and because a robot must obey the commands of a human, unless that command would harm a human, the robot has to become impossible to find.
The best skit from the 1985 relaunch of The Twilight Zone. Ron Glass and Sherman Hemsley, two of the best Actors ever on TV. I wish they were still here.

This was one of the vignettes that stood out to me during this run. The other was the "A Little Peace and Quiet" when a sundial necklace stopped the world when the wearer said to be quiet.
Yeah it's a it doesn't stand up to the original series the best ones on the original series for the vaal the knockoffs this is what I've been looking for for a very long time
I was 12 when this episode first aired, i knew sherman hemsley from the Jeffersons and was a fan of him. This is one of my favorite episodes of the 80's outer limits
What can anyone let alone myself say? - a terrific TZ classic and memorable segment from the 1980s series program. I have enjoyed it ever since I was 9 years of age when it appeared on television on its very debut.;not to mention Hemsley and Glass were at their finest preforming together.
"Well, that guy wasn't any help at all!" A Public Service Announcement From The Twilight Zone.... I think this episode pays the greatest tribute to the original series, which covered the devil on more than one occasion, with this totally original script. I wonder how long it took Ron Glass to memorize his lines? He had quite a few for such a short segment. This may be my very favorite episode from the 80's series.

RIP Sherman Helmsley & Ron Glass. I remember watching this one live back in '86 or whenever; never forgot the meaning. Quite a few of the 80s revival were definitely worthy of remembrance and this is one of them.
Revised ending: Sam,"Get Lost" Demon,"Be right back" *demon vanishes, then reappears holding a DVD Box set of "Lost: The Complete Tv Series"* "Lets go Sam"
I think the demon has to comply with the spirit of the task, otherwise he could have just written the word "lost" on a piece of paper and claim to "have" it.
Loved this story the first time l saw it years ago! Loved the way the Devil'shirt kept changing sayings,'LET'S DO DAMNATION' was the best! Sherman Hemsley and Ron Glass(a Devil in designer jeans-so 80's,love it)were great!
I was thinking about the newer Twilight Zone this morning, and this was the one episode that came to mind. I saw this when it was first broadcast in 1985 and thought it was terrific then - and it's still terrific now.
A video from 2009 shows up in my recommended in 2021, wtf. That said, glad this did, this was fantastic, great writing and acting, cannot thumbs this up enough.
Damn man: such a shame: watched this episode less than 24 hours ago and left a comment and didn't even know that Ron had... passed on... R.I.P. Ron Glass.
No, the devil kept running off at the mouth of what he can do. Notice that the questions Hensley was asking the Devil were probing questions, trying to find a weakness in the devil.
Brilliant one-act play with 2 actors at the top of their form. This and the episode, PALLIDAN OF THE LOST HOUR with Glynn Turman and Danny Kaye were 2 of my favorites from the Twilight Zone re-boot from the '80's. Both of these were based on great short stories.
I remember watching this when the Twilight Zone relaunched. There were a couple that were very poetic. This was one of them. It was one of the fun television moments that I enjoyed.
Back in the days when TV had a place in many peoples' lives and getting lost in all the joys and simplicity offered. Such a shame this new age can never repeat the excitement of before. 80's Always!
Reminds me (in a way) of "A Game of Pool" from the original Twilight Zone series, with Jack Klugman and Jonathan Winters. Two men, no guns or bombs or speeding vehicles ... just crackling dialogue that makes for a drama far better than any bombs or fast cars ever could be.
The best comic TZ episode from the 80s series. I LOVED this one. "You mention Dante to most people these days, and they ask you how you liked 'GREMLINS'!"

You can start off-a decimal, in time work your way up to-a fraction, for those of us who s not into-Math.... that s horrible.. Prof. got it tho ...RIP Sherman... RIP Ron...

Same
The freakiest aspect were the special contact lenses Ron wore. They looked metallic and unworldly.
Freaky but it was cool as hell!
The most suave depiction of a demon.
In the original short story, the demon mentions Ernest Hemingway got rid of him the same way the mathematician did.
Do you know where I can find that story?
Just Google Joe Haldeman "I Of Newton".
He also says Sam can't use numerical paradoxes either.
