Twilight Zone

In Older and Far Away, Xander says, “the only thing missing is a cornfield”. This could be a reference to an episode of Twilight Zone called ‘It’s A Good Life‘ which starred Billy Mumy as a little boy called Anthony, who wished people into a cornfield when they made him mad. The episode was adapted from a short 1953 horror story by Jerome Bixby.
In Lessons, Dawn says, “To serve humans is a cookbook”. This is from a short story by Damon Knight called To Serve Man, made into an episode of the Twilight Zone - in which a group of aliens claim to trying to help humans. They write a book called To Serve Man which is later discovered to be a cookbook. In the Angel episode Peace Out, Gunn says, “To Serve Man! It’s To Serve Man all over again.”

      I love how in Naked Gun 2 1/2, they had the same guy run out with the cookbook and yell, “To serve humans is a cookbook!” who did it in the Twilight Zone episode.
