It has been said that the series titled The
Twilight Zone was the best TV series of all time. I cannot give
my opinion, for I haven’t seen so many series, so I cannot compare them, but this
is what I have read.
The series, which ran for five seasons between 1959 and 1964, was dedicated
to fantasy, science fiction, psychological horror and the supernatural. It was
created and presented by Rod Serling, who also wrote the script of 92 of its
156 episodes. Rod Serling is well known for the scripts of two famous films of
the sixties: Seven days in May and
Planet of the Apes. The
spectacular surprise ending of the second film (which is not in the book on
which it is based, Pierre
Boulle’s novel of the same title) is at the same level as many episodes of The
Twilight Zone.
