The Twilight Zone has become a bona-fide classic for damn good reason: as a television show it's still loved and discovered by audiences the world over, and it's still thought-provoking stuff almost six decades since it hit the airwaves in 1959. Rod Serling knew how to read the human condition and how its morale and place in the universe is never the same story told twice. The Twilight Zone is its own plane of reality that became a staple in American pop-culture. It's 50s-60s Americana that managed to foretell stories about nuclear-weapon-based-paranoia and asking big questions about the human condition itself; and even with its time-capsule related charms the stories themselves transcend its era's real-world politics and made sci-fi a smart and subversive way to criticize modern politics without having to be concerned about censorship. And every episode is a self-contained story that set the bar for anthology-driven storytelling from then onward.I think this show needs no introduction; its reputation precedes it, comparable to the original Star Trek and Mission Impossible series (all three being CBS franchises themselves).Rod Serling's television magnum-opus is an incomparable classic.

... View MoreHighly recommend this. It allows one to enter a 5th dimension through various individual stories. Prepare your mind before watching an episode, as it will make you reflect for hours.
... View MoreI would like to see if possible on Memorial and Veterans day's military themed episodes of the Twilight Zone as a marathon. Many episodes dealt with military stories and even vets. Mr. Serling himself was a WW2 veteran serving in the Army as a paratrooper. This could prove both worthy and entertaining. It would do a stations great service to both veterans and those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. Think about it, 6 hours of the best if not all of the military stories being shown in honor of those who served. There's the episode where 3 soldiers are lost and wind up fighting in Little big horn. The episode where a soldier knows who's going to be a casualty by seeing a ray of light over their head. The 3 Air Force pilots that return to Earth only to disappear from life. The Nazi U-boat commander who sinks a liner only to experience their pain. The 3 pilots who land on a planet and later become display pieces. And the guy who read a newspaper article on a bomber plane found in a desert believing he was there also. The list can go on and on. How about it TV stations?
