Simply put, the original "Twilight Zone" is undeniably the best series that has ever been on T.V.!!! The sheer genius of Rod Serling has amazed, frightened and enlightened us since 1959, and remains as fresh and relevant today as it was back in the '50's and 60's.
The sets were simple and the casts were small, low budget even. Despite that, Serling had the uncanny ability to transport you to the far reaches of space as well as the inner depths of your own psyche, and after every episode, you felt changed in some way.
Original, unique, inventive and even controversial, are some of the words used to describe this show, and it certainly is all those things. "The Twilight Zone" was a true lesson in the Human Condition. It showed us both the beautiful and the ugly side of human nature.
There has never been anything like it before, and I seriously doubt there will ever be anything like it again. It is a T.V. masterpiece, and one that will stand on it's own for decades to come.
