The Twilight Zone
1959-1964 | Sci-Fi | USA | Created by Rod Serling
Overview
Rod Serling, Emmy winner turned genre prophet, narrated five seasons of morality plays at the edge of reality. The gremlin on the wing, the bookish man with all the time in the world after the bomb, the beautiful people with pig faces. Serling wrote most episodes himself after sponsors rejected his realism. Science fiction as social commentary under the censorship radar. The fifth dimension endures.
