	The Twilight Zone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Each episode (156 in all in the original series) was an individual fantasy or science fiction story, often concluding with an eerie or unexpected twist.
		Twilight Zone’s writers frequently used science-fiction as a vehicle for social comment; networks and sponsors who had infamously censored all potentially "inflammatory" material from the then predominant live dramas were ignorant of the methods developed by writers such as Ray Bradbury for dealing with important issues through seemingly innocuous fantasy.
		The original series' title "The Twilight Zone" was translated to French as "La quatrième dimension" ("The fourth dimension").

	The Twilight Zone (original series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Twilight Zone is about the only show on the air that I actually look forward to seeing.
		Serling’s input was limited this season: he still provided the lion’s-share of the teleplays, but as executive producer he was virtually absent and as host his artful narrations had to be shot back-to-back against a grey background during his infrequent trips to Los Angeles.
		The diminishing artistic credibility of the series was due primarily to the growing exhaustion of its chief contributor and creative originator, Rod Serling.

	DVDlaunch.com: The Twilight Zone (2002) review
		Originally developed for the CBS network, CBS honcho Les Moonves jumped the series to UPN (apparently it would be a better fit there).
		The original series often had a lot of points to make about human nature and lessons to tell, and it was done with intelligence.
		The series may not be top quality, but the presentation on these episodes is one of the most impressive I've seen for a recent TV show on DVD in a long time.

	Twilight Zone, The
		The Twilight Zone is generally considered to be the first real "adult" science-fantasy anthology series to appear on American television, introducing the late 1950s TV audience to an entertaining and at the same time thought-provoking collection of human condition stories wrapped within fantastic themes.
		Although the series is usually labeled a science fiction program its true sphere was fantasy, embracing elements of the supernatural, the psychological, and "the almost-but-not-quite; the unbelievable told in terms that can be believed" (Rod Serling).
		In more recent times, Twilight Zone: Rod Serling's Lost Classics presented a 2-hour TV movie based on two unproduced works discovered by the late writer's widow and literary executor, Carol Serling: Robert Markowitz directed both "The Theater" (scripted by Matheson from Serling's original story) and "Where the Dead Are" (from a completed Serling script).

	The Twilight Zone - A Science Fiction and Fantasy Page
		Twilight Zone’s writers frequently used science-fiction as a metaphor for social comment; networks and sponsors who had infamously censored all potentially "inflammatory” material from the then predominant live dramas were ignorant of the methods developed by writers such as Ray Bradbury for dealing with important issues through seemingly innocuous fantasy.
		For four of the seasons, The Twilight Zone was in a half hour format, but in the 1962-63 season its name was shortened to Twilight Zone as its time slot was expanded to an hour in length (the following season, its last, saw the restoration of the half hour episodes after a brief hiatus).
		The opening narration in the original pilot version was slightly different than what was used for the series: "There is a sixth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity.

		It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears, and the summit of his knowledge.
		The show went on to be one of the most famous series in television history and achieved a permanent place in popular culture with its instantly recognizable theme tune and distinctive opening sequence.
		The series was hosted by Serling himself and featured guest appearances by personalities such as Burt Reynolds, William Shatner and Robert Redford The show became a launching pad for some of Hollywood's biggest stars.

		"The Twilight Zone" brought a complexity and maturity to television that had never existed before and probably hasn't been seen since.
		The entertainment brought on by "The Twilight Zone" was as vast as the Zone itself.
		For sheer television entertainment, nothing compares to the brilliant, heavyweight stories of "The Twilight Zone." TO be frank, "The Twilight Zone" was the first show that didn't insult the viewer's intelligence.

		One of his pre-Twilight Zone teleplays was based on the story of Emmett Till, a young fl man lynched in the South.
		Even as he prepared to launch the series, Serling insisted that the new show -- as far as divisive content was concerned -- would be business as usual for the networks.
		Over the course of five seasons and 156 episodes, Serling managed to tackle serious issues from ideals of beauty to paranoia and civil strife, from fear of death to the dangers of technology.

		We are also interested in old index cards, theater playbills, etc., signed by actors in the original series, NOT the series from the 1980s or the hideous 2002 revival on UPN.
		The series began a resurgence on TV in the mid 90’s, right around that time, and it re-entered the large TV-viewing demographic's consciousness.
		"Twilight Zone" seems to be criticized more than most series'...the message boards out there have long been the subject of episode ridicule.

		What the "episodes" actually represent are two original screenplays by Rod Serling that have been found and in a fairly obvious attempt to make a buck, were promptly filmed for television broadcast.
		The fact that they were not ever made into episodes of The Twilight Zone whilst the great man was alive is of course indicated by the fact that neither is actually that great: simply, they would not have made great episodes at least on the original series.
		The use of the The Twilight Zone name on the package is nothing but a cheap marketing trick to draw attention to a release that would otherwise be ignored totally.

		Several TV shows have tried on a retro look in the past year or so, but "Felicity" really nails the ambiance of "Twilight Zone." Abrams even got an unintentional assist this summer when the show's star, Keri Russell, decided to cut her long hair.
		My pick would be "The Eye of the Beholder," possibly the most beloved "Twilight Zone" of all time, in which a young woman undergoes numerous plastic surgeries in an attempt to rejoin society.

	The Twilight Zone - The 1960s Series - Roobarbs DVD Forum
		So as The Twilight Zone is an American TV series, a R1 DVD (for me) would be preferable to an R2.
		The reason the episodes ended up in duplicate versions was as follows (if anyone is remotely interested): The New Twilight Zone was originally produced as an hour long programme of either 2 or 3 segments per show (obviously with only one credit sequences at either side).
		Over series 1 and 2, 80 episodes were made of various lengths - but always initially broadcast as either a 30 minute or 60 minute show.

		The series featured such soon-to-be-famous actors as Robert Redford, William Shatner, Burt Reynolds, Robert Duvall, Dennis Hopper, Carol Burnett, James Coburn, Charles Bronson, Lee Marvin, Peter Falk and Bill Mumy, as well as such established stars as silent-film giant Buster Keaton, Art Carney, Mickey Rooney, Ida Lupino and John Carradine.
		An often worthy revival series ran on CBS from 1985-87, and in first-run syndication in 1988.

		Purists and loyal fans to Rod Serling’s original series might write it off, but it's their loss.
		In a remake of "The Monsters on Maple Street," with the title slightly altered from the original, the fear of terrorists replaces that of being scared of alien monsters, and the government has a hand in the manipulations rather than alien beings.

	TrekWeb.com - Ira Steven Behr's Reworking of THE TWILIGHT ZONE a Mixed Bag on DVD
		The original TWILIGHT ZONE set a standard in television production rarely excelled or met by other programs: quality storytelling, compelling acting, high production values, and interesting twists in each story that made the viewers think about their own lives and where they could be headed.
		The series' 43-minute pilot episode, "The Lineman," directed by TNG star Jonathan Frakes, featured the story of a telephone lineman (Jeremy Piven) who is accidentally electrocuted by a lightning strike, giving him the ability to read other people's minds.
		Whereas the original TWILIGHT ZONE would have handled this story in a minimalist approach within a 30-minute format, this story got rather long in the tooth at times.

		"The Twilight Zone" was a unique TV series that mixed excellent writing (mostly by Rod Serling, himself, in the early seasons), good acting, challenging social issues, and stories that were unsettling if not downright scary.
		Though this is not to say Rod Serling didn't enjoy the otherworldly element of the twilight zone which he used as a storytelling method.
		For parents, this series was made when smoking was very popular (host Rod Serling was a chain smoker), so expect someone to light up in every other episode, but sex scenes are barely over PG, and the violence is wonderfully subdued (PG-13).

	The Twilight Zone
		On the original TV series, “The Twilight Zone,” there was an episode where a man died and ended up in what he thought was heaven.
		He came to his senses, after his death, in a tavern filled with beautiful women and he was the only available man. “This truly must be heaven”, he thought to himself.
		In my opinion, some of the sportsmen in Michigan desire to visit “The Twilight Zone” where limits of master angler size fish are caught almost every trip out and record book bucks are taken on a yearly basis.
