"There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man.
It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity.
It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition,
and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge.
This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call

[quote]The Twilight Zone is an American anthology television series created by Rod Serling, which ran for five seasons on CBS from 1959 to 1964. The series consisted of unrelated episodes depicting paranormal, futuristic, dystopian, or simply disturbing events; each show typically featured a surprising plot twist and was usually brought to closure with some sort of message. The series was also notable for featuring both established stars (e.g. Cliff Robertson, Ann Blyth, Jack Klugman) and younger actors who would later became famous (e.g. Robert Redford, William Shatner, Burt Reynolds, Mariette Hartley, Shelley Fabares). Rod Serling served as executive producer and head writer; he wrote or co-wrote 92 of the show's 156 episodes. He was also the show's host, delivering on- or off-screen monologues at the beginning and end of each episode. During the first season, except for the season's final episode, Serling's narrations were off-camera voiceovers; he only appeared on-camera at the end of each show to promote the next episode (footage that was removed from syndicated versions but restored for DVD release, although some of these promotions exist today only in audio format).
The "twilight zone" itself is not presented as being a tangible plane, but rather a metaphor for the strange circumstances befalling the protagonists. Serling's opening and closing narrations usually summarized the episode's events in tones ranging from cryptic to pithy to eloquent to unsympathetic, encapsulating how and why the main character(s) had "entered the Twilight Zone".[/quote]

thought this was a new twilight movie
Goddamn I fucking love this series.
[QUOTE=MrTwicks;27068257]thought this was a new twilight movie[/QUOTE]
Dear God no, it's bad enough they're making the last book into two films like with Harry Potter.
Rod Serling was a masterful story teller and innovator. I love this show.
I've watched through about 60 or more episodes. They are all pretty great although some have some predictability to them.
The genie episode is hilarious.
The originals are fan-fucking-tastic. I've grown up watching The Twilight Zone and I practically idolize Rod Serling. The newer series' are okay, but the originals are always fun to watch no matter what. Classics. Every New Years there's a marathon of the original series that I usually watch. I think SyFy does it, not sure though.
Yep, starting eight o'clock AM, New Years, SyFy is showing The Twilight Zone 24 hours.
I got all the episodes of the Twilight Zone, the classic ones. Good to piss away the time on a rainy day
I've seen about a handful of them, sometimes the show gives me the creeps. Most memorable one I've seen however is "To Serve Man", oh that one got me good. Classic show.

That one made me crack up. It's one of those things that I really should have seen coming.
I love this series so much.
I really love the first episode. When he ran into the mirror I almost jumped out of my chair.
I find it interesting how the effects of a series from the 60s startled me so much.
I love this show. I watch it every night before I go to bed. This has to be one of the greatest show's of all time.
Another good one is: One Step Beyond. Not as good as the Twilight Zone, but is pretty good as well.
One of the only series I can sit down and watch many episodes at a time.
This SHIT is the greatest.
I used to watch these all the time with my Dad, I loved them. Now I barely ever see it on TV anymore..
FUCK NO! Oh wait wrong series.
great great show, marathon on sci-fi owns but i haven't seen the more well known episodes like its a good life or a stop at wiloughby yet in this marathon.

Rod Serling like Robert Bloch, was vastly under-appreciated.
Grateful Dead did the 80's version theme, used to [i]close[/i] concerts with it... irony, it am delicious.
There was a marathon on earlier, I watched a couple episodes.
Got the entire new series. But the first is the best, I'll have to buy it all when I get some money.
I watched some of the older episodes a few years back during a marathon.
I got into it and started watching them on my iPod late at night.
I caught a marathon yesterday on SyFy, 'twas awesome
80s version had some good stuff too. Nightcrawlers and Gramma(based on a Stephen King story) stick out in my mind.
Of the originals, The Grave with Lee Marvin is one of my favorites because you can interpret it more than one way.

I really liked Something In The Walls from the 80s series.
I don't know why I love this show, it has a "feel" to it when I watch it and I absolutely love it.
Loved the series, and when the marathons run on Syfy
'To Serve Man' & 'The Prime Mover' are great episodes.

Same with 'Third From The Sun'.
I remember listening to the radio versions alot. 'The Number 12 Looks Like You' was great.
Just saw 'Changing of the Guard' last night. I almost cried :saddowns:
