Description
There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a
dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground
between light and shadow, between science and superstition. And it lies between
the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge.
This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call THE TWILIGHT
ZONE.

Customer Reviews
Greatest TV show in history
The film critic Leonard Maltin called The Twilight Zone “possibly the best TV series of all time,” and Peter Wolfe described it as “the best art-directed show in TV history and the most influential.”
Rod Serling was a financially and artistically successful Emmy award-winning writer for American television during the 1950s. He tackled many topical themes, including race and politics, but suffered the censorship of the various commercial sponsors who were nervous to be attached to anything controversial. Following one particularly difficult experience with a teleplay called The Arena, he said that “he would have had a more “adult” play if he had transposed the setting one hundred years into the future and peopled the Senate with robots.” The final straw came with the sponsor‘s intrusion on his play A Town Has Turned to Dust, which involved scenes of lynching, adultery and suicide. Serling stated that by the time it “went before the cameras, my script had turned to dust. They chopped it up like a roomful of butchers at work on a steer.” It came as something of a surprise to the industry, but perhaps not to those who knew him personally, when in 1959 Serling announced that he planned to develop a weekly series of fantasy and science fiction stories. Many questioned his decision to leave the field of serious drama to enter the world of science fiction. One interviewer asked him why he no longer planned to write “anything important” for television. He replied that he didn’t “want to have to fight anymore… which is in essence what the television writer does if wants to take on controversial themes”.
The Twilight Zone is one of the finest television programmes ever broadcast, and it is great that each season is now being made available in blu ray format. Perhaps now a new generation will discover the wonders that this show contains.
