 The Twilight Zone
(CBS Primetime, 1959 - 1965) [Following the release of "Twilight Zone - The Movie" in 1985, CBS attempted to revive the TV series with new color episodes, and a THEME which was a broad (and weak) improvisation on the Marius Constant THEME #2 by the rock group, "The Grateful Dead".
[aka: "Etrange No. 3 (M and E Title)"; aka: "Twilight Zone Theme"; In 1960, CBS Music Director Lud Gluskin was asked to find a new Main Title/End Credits THEME for the second season of the series, to replace the original THEME written by veteran radio/TV/film composer Bernard Herrmann.
The problem was thought to be that the Herrmann theme was considered "too down" according to music supervisor Don B. Ray, quoted in the book "TV's Biggest Hits" by Jon Burlingame.

 Power Line: The twilight zone
When the President acts in absence of either a congressional grant or denial of authority, he can only rely upon his own independent powers, but there is a zone of twilight in which he and Congress may have concurrent authority, or in which its distribution is uncertain.
