Nick of time was when Shatner and his wife wind up in a small town because their vehicle crapped out on them, and he (Shatner) winds up getting addicted to the ambiguous answers that the fortune teller machine is giving him in the diner

Ah right. What’s the one I’m thinking of I wonder

Ahhhh, you were thinking of this one, from the new series: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Little_Peace_and_Quiet

I've never really watched any of those

The Disneyland Tower of Terror was replaced by some shitty Marvel ride.

I think you're getting 2 eps confused. There's "Time Enough At Last" (bookworm bank worker who everyone hates goes into the vault to read on his lunch break and the world is destroyed, leaving only him and an endless supply of books, but then he breaks his glasses)

Also "A Kind Of Stopwatch" (a blabbermouth office worker gets a stopwatch that can stop time. he ends up using it for nefarious purposes, but then ends up breaking it while time is stopped, leaving him alone in silence for forever)

I love this show, but it does suffer from that particular brand of stiff 50s/60s TV acting.

Fair point, but some of the finest moments of the series could've have taken place without the tenseness/stiffness of some of the acting. It kinda "worked"

Yeah, sometimes.

When depicting "clean American living" and the dangers that lurk underneath (like the aforementioned Maple Street episode), it helped illustrate the point.
