Once Again at Twilight
Time |
|
 With
the ground-breaking "Twilight
Zone" series, Rod Serling not only brought sci-fi and fantasy to
American audiences, creating a new and provocative dimension, he also
pushed the limits of the television medium. For five seasons and 156
episodes, the series served as a showcase not only for Rod's writing but
also as an arena for budding actors and directors. Many went from their
debuts in the "Twilight Zone" series to become major contributors to
film and television. The Emmy Award-winning show featured superior
writing from Serling, Charles Beaumont, Earl Hamner Jr, Ray Bradbury,
Harlan Ellison, Richard Matheson and others. Talented actors like Robert
Redford, Burgess Meredith, Agnes Morehead, Telly Savalas, and William
Shatner, just to name a few, lent a credibility to the series usually
reserved for more mainstream dramas. Serling died at a very young age on
June 28, 1975. He was only 50, yet he left a vast legacy behind which
continues to inspire and enchant. New versions of the series aired in
1985, followed by a major motion picture, and finally a new series in
2002. |
