The Brilliance Of Twilight Zone, Sadly Underrated
I’m as much of a scifi fan as the next person, but I have to say when people utter fandom and scifi together, they often don’t touch on the Twilight Zone. Rod Serling’s baby aired for over five seasons and 156 episodes. Can anyone deny the genius or refute the brilliance of Serling or anyone associated with the series? Episodes such as “Terror at 30,000 Feet,” “Get A Life,” or “The Fear” gave meaning to the Scifi and horror genre because of the dimension of paranormal activity that was existent with those and many, many others. So how come no one cares that much about TZ? Has it been lost in the quagmire of time as better graphics occur or have scifi and horror writers and directors forget that good scifi and horror doesn’t need tremendous amounts of blood to be good? I go with the latter. It is sad that many have forgotten about the great show that brings back so many memories. It was a work of art that Twilight Zone and most of all, it’s a work that continues strongly in some, but sadly not in many others. TZ brought out interesting concepts and theories that many scifi writers and talk about and write about now. Arguably, the Twilight Zone is the best science fiction show that is the most underrated and forgotten.

You’re far too good a writer to be working with a company that pays you so little.
