1. Everyone has their favorite Twilight Zone episode!

BTW, I went to summer camp with Rod Serling's daughter, LOL. It was a big deal when he showed up to visit...

2. Wow! I just watched the episode "The Last Plane." I looked it up and that started me on

my journey of reading trivia on shows I love. The Twilight Zone is among the very best.

3. Favorite episode: So many but "The Stop At Willoughby" is one of my favorites. N/T

4. Twilight Zone is a classic, imitated, but there's nothing else like it

And that's one series that has stood the test of time, prescient and incredibly imaginative. I'm not big on scary stuff, but if there's a marathon on, I can't help but tune in...

7. And for anyone who disagrees...

5. The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street

As true today as it was 46 years ago.

9. He had a lot of good help.

There was another "TZ" thread where the classic "Little Girl Lost" episode was discussed; that one came from a Richard Matheson short story.

10. Fun fact: Serling also wrote the screenplay for 'Seven Days in May'

I just re-watched the movie on cable and was surprised to see his name in the credits. The screenplay was adapted from the book by Fletcher Knebel and Charles W. Bailey II, but it was a helluva movie!

13. He did

Stealing from the mediocre is plagiarism; stealing from the great is a tribute.

11. Huzzah!

I prefer the original series to the newer one, but this intro is good.
