Perhaps the most important and wonderful TeeVee shows in the late 1950s and early 1960s was The Twilight Zone. Rod Serling was the genius behind it, and drove it to the top ratings for quite a while.
This was a show like no other before, and never used the same cast twice. Only Rod Serling was the anchor, and almost always did the introduction, often after the opening setup.
No one has ever duplicated what Serling brought to the small screen. Even after more than 60! years some of the stories are as fresh as if they had been written tomorrow.
