Next stop, the Twilight Zone!

“This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call The Twilight Zone.” Rod Serling’s groundbreaking sci-fi horror anthology series premiered with "Where Is Everybody?" on CBS, 60 years ago tonight, on this day, October, 1959. Featuring both established stars and younger actors who would become much better known later, the show ran for five seasons with 156 episodes. In 2013, the Writers Guild of America ranked it as the third best-written TV series ever and, in 2016, the series was ranked No. 7 on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 greatest shows of all time. The success of the series led to a feature film (1983), a TV film (1994), a radio series (2002–12), literature including a comic book, novels and a magazine and a theme park attraction and various other spin-offs that spanned five decades, including three revival television series (1985–89, 2002–2003 and 2019).  #TheTwilightZone #TwilightZone60
