The Twilight Zone is a television series created by Rod Serling. The
original series ran for five seasons on CBS from 1959 to 1964 and remains
syndicated to this day. As an anthology series, each episode presented its
own separate story, often involving people who face unusual or extraordinary
circumstances, therefore entering the "Twilight Zone." Rod Serling served as
a head writer, executive producer and host of the program, delivering
on-or-off-screen monologues at the beginning and end of each episode. Orson
Welles was originally considered, but the producers felt he asked for too
much money.
