Headline needs an edit - it's "Rod Serling", not "Rod Sterling"... but in any event, thanks for sharing.

Very interesting. I have always loved The Twilight Zone and how it brought thoughtfulness to TV, which was/is very rare to see.

I just started rewatching the original series a few weeks ago. A lot of the themes he explores are still relevant today.

oh, it's amazing, isn't it. really excellent TV. i remember when i watched it a couple of years ago i was blown away with how watchable it was, considering how old it is. i was kind of expecting to be disappointed.

Great history on Rod Serling, I used to duck and cover watching TZ when younger. His voice was so convincing to me.

Here is a youtube clip of my favorite TZ episode 'Obsolete Man' which oddly reminds me of todays struggles between the tech vs non-tech workforce.

For similarly dark modern stories, check out the two seasons (6 episodes) of Black Mirror, from the BBC. It's a Twilight Zone for the internet generation. (The less you read about each episode before watching, the better.)
