“The Twilight Zone” was a popular TV series that aired from 1959 to 1964. It was hosted/narrated by its creator Rod Serling. The man was a genius!! I scoured Twitter to see what kinds of tidbits I could find either about him or the series. Twitter was loaded with gems! I had no idea that Mr. Serling was born on Christmas day. He lived a very short life: 50 years. Rodman Edward Serling (1924 – 1975). Even though this TV program only lasted for 5 years it left an indelible mark in the history of science fiction entertainment. People have tried to recreate or remake this classic series. But I’m sorry. The magic was the man himself. It was his creative and imaginative thought process that was magical. Those who try to recreate this show just can’t match the ideas he came up with. He was one of a kind. There will never be another Rod Serling. Enjoy the tweets!

“It has forever been thus: So long as men write what they think, then all of the other freedoms – all of them – may remain intact. And it is then that writing becomes a weapon of truth, an article of faith, an act of courage.” – Narrator of The #TwilightZone, Rod Serling pic.twitter.com/koIJ7gVm4w

I had never head of twilight zone before.
Now that you know, watch the classic black & white shows. The new ones or the remakes are not that great. It’s sort of like the old Perry Mason shows. They tried to bring it back. They even cast Raymond Burr, the original guy who played Perry Mason. It just wasn’t the same.
journey with me now…
when I was little in the early 70s and they were rerunning this show it was always on right before the outer dimension.
we would stay up on a friday and get scared!
They added the series to the Netflix database and I loved it!
so many nights of just terror. it was an amazing series for that.
