Beautifully put-- the new medium, with America's best writers-- from radio -- with our best talent --- and thank Goodness for us that execs were willing to take risks back then without the fear of losing their job by 6pm that same say over a gigantic expensive flop they greenlit, but were too exhausted to remember. When you had "the Ford Hour" or the " Westinghouse hour", the stakes between the producers and the sponsors would be for that performance of that show only -- a quick turnaround, low budgets, and accountability -- no wonder the quality was so consistent -- the Twilight Zone team were all veterans of Live TV's Best-- Kraft Playhouse 90, You Are There, etc... these tight-knit teams knew everyone else's job, bc the show had to go on the air no matter what-- if the gaffer wasn't there -- someone else had to do it -- bc that airtime had to be filled. You got a lot of real Pros coming up that way. And most important, they didn;t worry if different lobbies complained. The Twilight Zones were not afraid of being called hokey or maudlin. The Robot Grandmother Episode was one of the most heartwrenching episodes I remember-- including modern television .... I cried for her when I was little. The show seems to have touched everyone in every master emotion. Wow.

I wrote an essay about the golden age of television, and I did a compare and contrast between the twilight zone, and Alfred Hitchcock‘s horror hour I believe it was called. The thing about Rod Serling is he was a short story. Writer in the magazines didn’t like the spin he was putting on these stories. He was offering too much social commentary, and spinning it into a sci-fi thing, so they kind of scooted him off to television which was the new thing and figured he wouldn’t go far with his weird stories. Come to find out he had an audience. He developed a cult following and then from there the show just blew up. It is currently 2023 and I can still sit down in front of the TV and watch episodes of the twilight zone that I have seen many times and still get the heebie-jeebies scared out of me.

It's a fine thing you've done Anthony.Could ya wish it out into the Corn field for me? That kid scares the living daylights out of me.On the new Twilight Zone they had a follow up with Cloris Leachman again playing the now grown up boys mother and he has a daughter.The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.Even though nothing compares to the original,this was a good follow up.The first Twilight Zone episode was scary as well with no one in a town with a man who didn't know who he was.A couple of night gallery episodes were good as well.Rod Serling was always a step ahead of his time.

My favorite twilight zone episode is death’s head revisited. In that episode a former SS commandant returns to the concentration camp he once ruled with an iron fist and took glee in torturing prisoners in for some sick nostalgia. However, the ghosts of the men he killed put him on trial for his crimes.

My vote for the scariest Twilight Zone episode ever? The one entitled "Little Girl Lost." Creeps me out to this day whenever I watch it. Imagine being the parents of this little girl and having her disappear into another dimension - a dimension beyond your reach. Hearing her voice but unable to physically reach out and touch her. Having no idea how to save her. Imagine the horrors. This is my vote for the creepiest "Zone" of all time.

It's awesome that The Twilight Zone is such a ubiquitous experience. Everyone, regardless of age, seems to have fond memories of the original run. Everyone can look to it for something unsettling, something that will rattle your feeling of safety. I never hear anyone call it overrated when it comes up. You mention The Twilight Zone, and everyone wants to pitch in what their favorite episode was (mine was The Silence). It's a monolith of surrealist horror that everyone who has experienced western society can come together and stand in awe of. It is not merely a cultural touchstone, it is THE cultural touchstone. And behind it, one of the most eloquent philosophers to walk the earth.

And the other two were both Shatner episodes and Classics. One with the diner and creepy fortune Teller telling them not to leave. And the other was my favorite where the Gremlin creature was attacking the engine of the plane. When he opens the little window and that Ghoulish creatures face is looking back at him that made me jump! Then he asks for witnesses and that damn thing jumps away every time making him look crazy! He finally gets his revenge on the creature by shooting it dead. I swear I would do the same damn thing although I’d probably get swept out the plane and get sucked up into an engine with my luck. Rod Serling had a great imagination and was a great writer at times! RIP Serling

My comment exactly to someone else who responded. Those of us who are huge fans of classic t.v. and movies can appreciate this genre. Robert Redford, Martin Balsam, Agnes Moorehead, Robert Duval, Telly Savalas, Inger Stevens, and so many more who went on to great, working careers. While on the subject of the show, I just want to comment about another episode which starred one of my crushes, William Shatner, in which he was flying on a plane ("Nightmare at 10,000 Feet") and kept seeing a "creature" on the wing. Well, I gotta say, that furry costume (a wet gorilla?) the actor was wearing was a hoot! AND the face of the "creature" had the same mask/features from a couple other episodes (I pick up on stuff like that as others pick up on production errors on movie sets...I'm anal that way....oh well). But, hey, it's all good and still classic and still fun.

The other one that freaked me out when I was a kid was "The Arrival".

Having watched the original episodes in 1959, my favorites are “ And when the sky was Opened ”, “ Walking Distance, “ and “ It’s A Good Life. “ Because of Serling's writing and other contributors, the stories hold up today. As well, the actors were extraordinary in delivering their roles. I still get a visceral chill when Hutton points to the non-existent bed and says, " Oh, my God! " Being at the crossroads of radio and television productions, a veritable who's who of great talents were available for the Twilight Zone. Although I have watched the new TZ by Peele, I have not seen anything comparable to the original series. And of course, Rod's intros and outros are iconic!
And Rod Serling is in the corner of the room, addressing people we can't see.

Rod Serling went to my high school and was at one of our convocations. He only was 5foot 4 inches. He was from Binghamton, Ny and used many people and places from his past. The episode of the teacher and the small child who was supposed to be her as a child was named after his favorite teacher, Helen Foley, his dramatics teacher. There was an episode in the Cortland, NY bus station, or maybe it was Binghamton. Final destination was Syracuse, NY. Family had a cottage on one of the finger lakes, Cayuga Lake, thus the name of his production company, Cayuga Productions. The episode of William Shatner on a plane and looked out on the wing was the scariest in my opinion, That was a young Marion Ross in the episode of the sun coming toward the earth. It was on at 10pm Fridays. It was the best program ever on TV and still relevant.
