  • Starring: Patricia Smith, William D. Gordon, Wayne Heffley
  • Summary: The series was a collection of various tales that range from the tragic to the comedic. They may be scary or just thought-provoking. Most episodes have unexpected endings and a moral lesson. But, no matter what, it's "a journey into a wondrous land, whose boundaries are that of the imagination."

    Rod Serling, creator and host of the series, won two Emmys for outstanding writing (1960 & '61), and the Golden Globe in 1962 for best TV director/producer.

    Reruns of the original Twilight Zone can be seen on the US Sci Fi channel.

    This is the Original 1959 series, not the CBS The Twilight Zone (1985) version nor the UPN The Twilight Zone (2002) version.

    This show is absolute genius. This show is so good, I wish i was born 70 years later so I could watch it new instead of reruns on SYFY. A perfect show, no doubt about it. Rod Serling is a 1960's William Shakespeare.… Expand

    Absolutely perfect. Just PERFECT. Rod Serling was THE Master Of Suspense. The show has a hypnotic affect. And the writing is SPECTACULAR! And the acting, directing, and the suspense affect makes you wonder how it is going to end.… Collapse

    Eerie, creepy classic of a science fiction/drama is a televised masterpiece.

    If you have not watched the original TWILIGHT ZONE yet, get to y    our couch and find it on TV. There are quite a few channels re-running these vintage stories by Rod Serling. It is one of the classics that not only made history, but leaves you wanting more.… Expand
