Reisman, a story editor for Playhouse 90 in the 1950s and a former West Coast president for the Writers Guild of America.
The Twilight Zone worked in the late 1950s because viewers were accustomed to watching self-contained stories with different characters each week on those Golden Age of TV live dramas like Playhouse 90, Studio One, Desilu Playhouse, Armstrong Circle Theatre and the U.S. Steel Hour.
The Twilight Zone: The Time Element, the series pilot that aired on CBS' Westinghouse-Desilu Playhouse on Nov. 24, 1958, was a rewrite of a script that first aired on The Storm, his WKRC-TV live drama series (1951-53), and later as a radio drama on WLW-AM's It Happens to You.

 Westinghouse-Desilu Playhouse
Westinghouse-Desilu Playhouse, an anthology series broadcast on CBS between 1958-60, never received the critical acclaim of Playhouse 90 or Studio One, nor did it last as long as those two dramatic programs.
Westinghouse-Desilu Playhouse was produced by Desilu, a telefilm production company owned by Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball that owed its genesis and initial success to a single series--I Love Lucy (CBS, 1951-57).
Although Westinghouse-Desilu Playhouse did prove Desilu to be multi-faceted at telefilm production, Desi Arnaz did not get a chance to expand his acting range, and the musical spectaculars he had envisioned producing for the series fell short of the quantity and quality promised to Westinghouse.
