On a Friday night in October 1959, Americans began slipping into a dimension of imagination as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. They’ve really never returned.
“The Twilight Zone” has resonated with viewers since — with memorable stories carrying universal messages about society’s ills and the human condition. The show’s popularity endures in many facets of American pop culture.
Like the time-space warps that anchored so many Twilight Zone plots, Rod Serling’s veiled commentary remains as soul-baring today as it did in 1959. Anniversary observances are planned this week in New York in Serling’s hometown of Binghamton and at Ithaca College, where he taught.
I still hear friends and family mention episodes of The Twilight Zone. It’s a cult hit.
Do you like the Twilight Zone? What about it makes you continue to like it years later?
