The Twilight Zone

The Twilight Zone is an American TV anthology sequence conceived by Rod Serling. Each episode (156 in the initial series) is a blend of self-contained fantasy, research fiction, suspense, or repugnance, often completing with a macabre or unforeseen twist. A well liked and critical achievement, it presented numerous Americans to grave research fiction and abstract concepts through TV and furthermore through a broad kind of Twilight Zone literature. The program pursued in the custom of previous wireless programs for example The Weird Circle and X Minus One and the wireless work of Serling's champion, dramatist Norman Corwin.

The achievement of the initial sequence directed to the creation of two renewal series: a cult strike sequence that ran for some times of the year on CBS and in syndication in the 1980s, and a short-lived UPN sequence that ran from 2002 to 2003. It would furthermore lead to a characteristic movie, a wireless sequence, a comic publication, a publication and diverse other spin-offs that would span five decades.

Aside from Serling himself, who home made almost two-thirds of the series' total episodes, writers for The Twilight Zone encompassed premier genre authors for example Charles Beaumont, Richard Matheson, Jerry Sohl, George Clayton Johnson, Earl Hamner, Jr., Reginald Rose, Harlan Ellison and Ray Bradbury. Many episodes furthermore boasted adaptations of classic tales by such writers as Ambrose Bierce, Lewis Padgett, Jerome Bixby and Damon Knight.

(Intelligence analysts in the early Cold War marked a homeland a twilight zone if there was no decisive U.S. principle on if to intervene militarily to hold it from going Communist.) Rod Serling himself chose the name of the sequence, and said that only after the sequence aired did he find out that the "twilight zone" was furthermore a period directed by the US Air Force to the terminator, the boundary between "night" and "day" on a planetary body.

I don't brain remakes in general.  I believe if they can find their own voice, they can occasionally eclipse the initial version.  When it is a television display that is a remake of a television display, occasionally it's just good to get new episodes of a good show.  Such is the case of UPN's renewal of “The Twilight Zone.”

 I would nearly state that this isn't a remake at all, but just a continuation of what what currently on.  The initial Rod Serling classic sequence ran on CBS from 1959 to 1965.  In 1985, CBS conveyed it back with new episodes, but many of them were remakes of classic episodes that Serling had currently finished (and there was no owner, just a Serling-like voice.)  Now, UPN has conveyed it back and guaranteed us that all the episodes will be original.  Best thing this time is that we get a new owner, in the pattern of Forrest Whitaker.  I have habitually admired Whitaker, and I believe he is the flawless follow-up to Serling.

 The first episode had two tales (as ...
