the one that made the most impression on me was the one where the guy got caught in the bank vault during a nuclear 'event' and was the only one left...
he wore very thick glasses and loved to read so had all his days planned for the rest of his life on spending his time reading - then broke his glasses...
first aired in 1959 (I was 12 - just as I am now!), and called "Time Enough At Last"
I had just gotten my first pair of glasses and LOVED them - I didn't care if people made fun of me because I could SEE... probably why it's stayed with me all these years..
