The series was a collection of various tales that range from the tragic to the comedic. They may be scary or just thought-provoking. Most episodes have unexpected endings and a moral lesson. But, no matter what, it's "a journey into a wondrous land, whose boundaries are that of the imagination."

Rod Serling, creator and host of the series, won two Emmys for outstanding writing (1960 & '61), and the Golden Globe in 1962 for best TV director/producer.

Reruns of the original Twilight Zone can be seen on the US Sci Fi channel.

This is the Original 1959 series, not the CBS The Twilight Zone (1985) version nor the UPN The Twilight Zone (2002) version.

• Do you feel like any of the characters in the series?

  Every time I watch "A world of his own" I feel like that guy, I'm a writer too and when I describe a character I see how they materialize before my eyes (in the papper, I'm not that crazy).

  it was freaky hide « show »

  this show i think is good because you wonder and you sometimes wish you can experience the same thing. i like the guy that would talk and talk in a way that you almost get scared by but it helps brings you in to watch what happens in the episode and that's why people like this show.the theme song is good i love copying it but i cant master it. what is upsetting that today's show steals the ideas and then change 1 or 2 things so it can be their idea so sad for this show. it should be credited for coming up with these ideas. i for one clap!clap!clap!

  A Timeless, Classic. hide « show »

  When Writing Meant Something,
  Before Corporate Totally Eliminated It.
  There was The Twilight Zone.
  Quite possibly the best television show to ever grace our screens & penetrate our lives.
  
  Every episode is not a 10.
  There are smatterings of mediocrity, but they are few & far between.
  Even then there is an attempt to push the envelope.
  
  When there are 10's there are 10++'s.
  Episodes that not only entertain, but penetrate deep & camera-work that for it's time & economy is timeless.
  
  There is a reason it runs every year 2x's a year for 48 hours straight.
  No other show in TV history does.
  
  I can only repeat what others have said.
  A timeless, classic.

  I love this show!!! ^_^ I've loved it since I was a little girl, and I appreciate it even more now!!! :D And what's better, they have a marathon every year on my birthday (Dec. 31)! My favorite episode has to either be A Stop At Willoughby, or that one episode where the Earth gets closer and closer to the sun, until everyone dies, then the Earth gets farther and farther from the sun until the remaining people freeze to death. But seriously, if you don't watch this show, you should seriously consider it. It'sreally amazing, and every episode has an exciting twist.

  You have entered........the Twilight Zone. hide « show »

  It's old, but it's still good. Okay, the black and white may make it seem a little cheesy, but this was made in the 60s. Give it some credit. If they produced this show with all the stuff we have now, it wouldn't seem that way. Personally, the black and white just reminds me that old isn't as bad as everybody thinks. That stuff made almost 50 years ago can be awesome.
  I'll admit, some of the episodes aren't that creepy, but the others will give you chills.
  The good thing about this show is that it's different every time. It's not all just about one person. No, that would be boring. Instead, we get a show that features a different person in a different situation every episode. All the episodes are very different, but you can still feel a link between them.
  
  The Twilight Zone is a classic. Period.
