Shakespeare borrowed from me ... the limey bastard!

Did you see the old Twilight Zone episode about the Shakespeare scholar who went back to the past only to discover HE wrote all the plays?

And there is a new movie out, 'Yesterday', about a guy who discovers he is the only person who remembers 'The Beatles' and re-does all their songs...

Nope.  But if you follow Blackadder ... he wrote them all.

Now I'm confused.  I distinctly recall a TV episode of some show where a writer went back in time only to discover Shakespeare was a hack and he had to write all the plays from memory (setting up a logic loop) and I can't remember what show it was from!  ACK...  I thought it was the Twilight Zone, but I can't find it.  Any help, anyone?

Nice!  I actually thought that might be Shakespeare...  But no search revealed it as such. 
couldn't be The Bard - too grammatically incorrect, and the Bard was never that, at least.

Here's one story, but I don't think it's the one you're looking for:

I'll look around some moer, see if I can find it, since I, too, vaguely remember it.

Interesting point.  But grammar was not the same then.  And indeed, Will created some of it himself.

That wasn't it, but as you said, you knew that.  But the link was GREAT.  Thank you.  I had never read that short before.  Good old Asimov!

I'm thinking 'Outer Limits' maybe?

I tried more searching, but couldn't find anything, other than a reference to "The Muse," but that hasn't panned out yet, either.

I registered with a sci-fi site (Alien Soup) to ask.  I hope for a reply.

Let's hope it doesn't turn out to be a case of the Mandela effect...

I had to look that up.  False memories is a touchy subject in my family.  Youngest sister nd Mom had some real arguments about memories...

Well, I have some pretty specific memories of the show.  And not much reason to have created it out of whole cloth.  It was black&white, and I dream in color( I think).  I seem to recall specific scenes and actors.  I think that if I was shown several still shots I would pick out the one that was the real episode.

On the other hand, if my memory is false, I have one great 22 minute short to pitch to Hollywood...

My mother and I had different recollections, in her old age.

I think this was the final episode of the series.

Actually, as we all know, New Year's Eve 1999 wasn't the start of either the new century or the new millennium.
