    If you are a fan of Meredith, and also a fan of sci-fi, might I suggest
    ou
    check out his appearances on The Twilight Zone TV series? "Time Enough at Last" and "The Obsolete Man" are two absolute classics. He was also in an episode of The Night Gallery, I think it was called "The Little Black
    ag,"
    that was also good.

    i know he's a prolific actor but i always think of him saying 'you're gonna
    a
    lightning and crap thunder!!!!!'

    That is a pretty iconic line for sure. Even funnier coming out of
    Meredith's mouth.

    I remember some of those episodes, but my FAVORITE Meredith episode is "The Printer's Devil" where he plays Satan. Excellent performance by Burgess
    here.
    One of my favorite episodes of all time other than the episode with the depressed Professor I forget the name of (Oh and a recent episode I saw of a poor guy who randomly became Santa).

    The Printer's Devil was the one I couldn't remember the title of. That one
    is also good.

    The other two you mentioned may be the two best episodes ever, and probably
    two of the best Christmastime episodes of any shows. The Changing of the
    Guard is the one with the professor. Ironically, although it is set at Christmastime, it originally aired in June! The other one is the Night of
    the Meek and features Art Carney as the bum/department store Santa.

    Night of the Meek was remade during the 1985 revival of the
    series, but I don't remember who played the bum in that one. That full
    episode is on youtube as The Twilight Zone (1985) Night of the Meek. The original is better, of course, but that version isn't bad.

    Oh yeah, YT is where I saw it--it was the original. The Changing of the
    uard,
    that's it! Great episode. I love that quote 'Be Ashamed to Die Until You've
    o
    Some Victory for Humanity.'

    That is one of the most excellent quotes from the whole series. ;)
