The Twilight Zone (1959 TV series)From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Twilight Zone is an American science-fiction[1]/fantasy[2] anthology television series createdby Rod Serling, which ran for five seasons on CBSfrom 1959 to 1964. The series consists of unrelatedstories depicting paranormal, futuristic, Kafkaesque,or otherwise disturbing or unusual events; each storytypically features a moral and a surprise ending.

The series is notable for featuring both establishedstars (Joan Blondell, Ann Blyth, Buddy Ebsen, JackElam, Buster Keaton, Burgess Meredith, Ed Wynn)and younger actors who would become more famouslater on (Bill Bixby, Lee Van Cleef, Robert Duvall,Dennis Hopper, Elizabeth Montgomery, LeonardNimoy, Robert Redford, Burt Reynolds, Don Rickles,William Shatner, Telly Savalas). Rod Serling servedas executive producer and head writer; he wrote or co-wrote 92 of the show's 156 episodes. He was also theshow's host and narrator, delivering monologues at thebeginning and end of each episode. Serling's openingand closing narrations usually summarize theepisode's events encapsulating how and why the maincharacter(s) had entered the Twilight Zone.

DevelopmentBy the late 1950s, Rod Serling was a regular name in television. His successful teleplays includedPatterns (for Kraft Television Theater) and Requiem for a Heavyweight (for Playhouse 90), but constantchanges and edits made by the networks and sponsors frustrated Serling. In Requiem for a Heavyweight,the line "Got a match?" had to be struck because the sponsor sold lighters; other programs had similarstriking of words that might remind viewers of competitors to the sponsor, including one case in whichthe sponsor, Ford Motor Company, had the Chrysler Building removed from a picture of the New YorkCity skyline.[8]

But according to comments in his 1957 anthology Patterns, Serling had been trying to delve intomaterial more controversial than his works of the early 1950s. This led to Noon on Doomsday for theUnited States Steel Hour in 1956, a commentary by Serling on the total lack of repentance anddefensiveness he saw in the Mississippi town where the murder of Emmett Till took place. His originalscript closely paralleled the Till case, then was moved out of the South and the victim changed to aJewish pawnbroker, and eventually watered down to just a foreigner in an unnamed town. Despite badreviews, activists sent numerous letters and wires protesting the production.[9][10]

Serling thought that a science-fictional setting, with robots, aliens and other supernatural occurrences,would give him more freedom and less interference in expressing controversial ideas than more realisticsettings.[11] "The Time Element" was Serling's 1957 pilot pitch for his show, a time travel adventureabout a man who travels back to Honolulu in 1941 and unsuccessfully tries to warn everyone about theimpending attack on Pearl Harbor. The script, however, was rejected and shelved for a year until BertGranet discovered and produced it as an episode of Desilu Playhouse in 1958.[12] The show was a hugesuccess and enabled Serling to finally begin production on his anthology series, The Twilight Zone.

Overview of seasonsSeason 1 (19591960)

There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast asspace and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, betweenscience and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of hisknowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the TwilightZone.

Rod Serling

The Twilight Zone premiered the night of October 2, 1959 to ravereviews. "...Twilight Zone is about the only show on the air that Iactually look forward to seeing. It's the one series that I will letinterfere with other plans", said Terry Turner for the ChicagoDaily News. Others agreed. Daily Variety ranked it with "the bestthat has ever been accomplished in half-hour filmed television"and the New York Herald Tribune found the show to be"certainly the best and most original anthology series of theyear."

Even as the show proved popular to television's critics, itstruggled to find a receptive audience of television viewers. CBSwas banking on a rating of at least 21 or 22, but its initialnumbers were much worse. The series' future was jeopardizedwhen its third episode, "Mr. Denton on Doomsday" earned a 16.3rating. Still, the show attracted a large enough audience tosurvive a brief hiatus in November, after which it finallysurpassed its competition on ABC and NBC and convinced itssponsors (General Foods and Kimberly-Clark) to stay on untilthe end of the season.

With one exception ("The Chaser"), the first season featured scripts written only by Rod Serling, CharlesBeaumont and Richard Matheson, a team that was eventually responsible for 127 of the show's 156episodes. Additionally, with one exception ("A World of His Own"), Serling never appeared on cameraduring any first season episode (as he would in future seasons), and was present only as a voice-overnarrator. Note that Serling did appear on screen in Twilight Zone promotional spots plugging thefollowing week's episode just not in the episodes themselves. These promo spots were unseen forseveral decades after their initial airings; while many have been released in the DVD and Blu-rayreleases of The Twilight Zone, a few are lost completely and some survive only as audio tracks.

Many of the season's episodes proved to be among the series' most celebrated, including "Time Enoughat Last", "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street", "Walking Distance" and "The After Hours". The firstseason won Serling an unprecedented fourth Emmy Award for dramatic writing, a Producers GuildAward for Serling's creative partner Buck Houghton and the Hugo Award for best dramatic presentation.

Bernard Herrmann's original opening theme music lasted throughout the first season. For the final fiveepisodes of the season, the show's original surrealist "pit and summit" opening montage and narrationwas replaced by a piece featuring a blinking eye and shorter narration, and a truncated version ofHerrmann's theme.

Note: some first-season episodes were available for decades only in a version with a pasted-on second-season opening. These "re-themed" episodes were prepared for airing in the summer of 1961 as summerrepeats; the producers wanted to have a consistent opening for the show every week. During the original1959/60 run, Herrmann's theme was used in every first season episode. The first season openings forthese episodes have since been restored to recent DVD and Blu-ray reissues.[13]

Season 2 (19601961)

You're traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but ofmind; a journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That's thesignpost up aheadyour next stop, the Twilight Zone.

Rod Serling

The second season premiered on September 30, 1960 with "KingNine Will Not Return", Serling's fresh take on the pilot episode"Where Is Everybody?" based on a real-life 1958 news story ofthe discovery of a crashed World War II B-24 bomber in theLibyan desert. The familiarity of this first story stood in starkcontrast to the novelty of the show's new packaging: BernardHerrmann's stately original theme was replaced by MariusConstant's more jarring and dissonant (and now more-familiar)new guitar-and-bongo theme. The blinking eye was replaced by amore surreal introduction inspired by the new images in Serling'snarration (such as "That's the signpost up ahead"), and Serlinghimself stepped in front of the cameras to present his openingnarration, rather than being only a voice-over narrator (as in thefirst season).

A new sponsor, Colgate-Palmolive, replaced the previous year's Kimberly-Clark (as Liggett & Myerswould succeed General Foods, in April 1961), and a new network executive, James Aubrey, took overCBS. "Jim Aubrey was a very, very difficult problem for the show", said associate producer DelReisman. "He was particularly tough on The Twilight Zone because for its time it was a particularlycostly half-hour show... Aubrey was real tough on [the show's budget] even when it was a small numberof dollars." In a push to keep the show's expenses down, Aubrey ordered that seven fewer episodes beproduced than last season and that six of those being produced would be shot on videotape rather thanfilm, a move Serling disliked, calling it "neither fish nor fowl".[14] Two additional episodes filmed in thesecond season ("The Grave" and "Nothing in the Dark") were held over to the third season.

Season two saw the production of many of the series' most acclaimed episodes, including "The Eye ofthe Beholder" and "The Invaders". The trio of Serling, Matheson and Beaumont began to admit newwriters, and this season saw the television debut of George Clayton Johnson. Emmys were won bySerling (his fifth) for dramatic writing and by director of photography George T. Clemens and, for thesecond year in a row, the series won the Hugo Award for best dramatic presentation. It also earned theUnity Award for "Outstanding Contributions to Better Race Relations" and an Emmy nomination for"Outstanding Program Achievement in the Field of Drama".

Rod Serling

In his third year as executive producer, host, narrator and primary writer for The Twilight Zone, Serlingwas beginning to feel exhausted. "I've never felt quite so drained of ideas as I do at this moment", saidthe 37-year old playwright at the time. In the first two seasons he contributed 48 scripts, or 73% of theshow's total output. He contributed only 56% of this season's output. "The show now seems to befeeding off itself", said a Variety reviewer of the season's episode two. Most sponsors for this seasonincluded: Chesterfield, Bufferin tablets, Pepsi-Cola, Etc.

Despite his avowed weariness, Serling again managed to produce several teleplays that are widelyregarded as classics, including "It's a Good Life", "To Serve Man", and "Five Characters in Search of anExit". Scripts by Montgomery Pittman and Earl Hamner Jr. supplemented Matheson and Beaumont'soutput, and George Clayton Johnson submitted three teleplays that examined complex themes. Theepisode "I Sing the Body Electric" could boast, "Written by Ray Bradbury." By the end of the season,the series had reached over 100 episodes.

The Twilight Zone received two Emmy nominations (for cinematography and art design), but wasawarded neither. It again received the Hugo Award for "Best Dramatic Presentation", making it the onlythree-time recipient until it was tied by Doctor Who in 2008.

In spring 1962, The Twilight Zone was late in finding a sponsor for its fourth season and was replaced onCBS' fall schedule with a new hour-long situation comedy called Fair Exchange. In the confusion thatfollowed this apparent cancellation, producer Buck Houghton left the series for a position at Four StarProductions. Serling meanwhile accepted a teaching post at Antioch College, his alma mater. Thoughthe series was eventually renewed, Serling's contribution as executive producer decreased in its finalseasons.

Season 4 (1963)

You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension: adimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. You're moving into a land ofboth shadow and substance, of things and ideas; you've just crossed over into the TwilightZone.[15]

Rod Serling

In November 1962, CBS contracted Twilight Zone (now sans The) as a mid-season January replacementfor Fair Exchange, the very show that replaced it in the September 1962 schedule. In order to fill theFair Exchange time slot each episode had to be expanded to an hour, an idea which did not sit well withthe production crew. "Ours is the perfect half-hour show... If we went to an hour, we'd have to fleshenour stories, soap opera style. Viewers could watch fifteen minutes without knowing whether they werein a Twilight Zone or Desilu Playhouse", Serling responded. Herbert Hirschman was hired to replacelong-time producer Buck Houghton. One of Hirschman's first decisions was to direct a new openingsequence, this one illustrating a door, eye, window and other objects suspended in space. His second taskwas to find and produce quality scripts. Some sponsors included Johnson and Johnson.

This season of Twilight Zone once again turned to the reliable trio of Serling, Matheson and Beaumont.However, Serlings input was limited this season; he still provided the lions-share of the teleplays, butas executive producer he was virtually absent and as host, his artful narrations had to be shot back-to-back against a gray background during his infrequent trips to Los Angeles. Due to complications from adeveloping brain disease, Beaumonts input also began to diminish significantly. Additional scripts werecommissioned from Earl Hamner, Jr. and Reginald Rose to fill in the gap.

With five episodes left in the season, Hirschman received an offer to work on a new NBC series calledEspionage and was replaced by Bert Granet, who had previously produced "The Time Element". AmongGranets first assignments was "On Thursday We Leave for Home", whichSerling considered the season's most effective episode. There was an Emmynomination for cinematography, and a nomination for the Hugo Award. Theshow returned to its half-hour format for the fall schedule.

Season 5 (19631964)

Serling later claimed, "I was writing so much, I felt I had begun to lose myperspective on what was good and what was bad." By the end of this finalseason, he had contributed 92 scripts in five years. This season, the newalternate sponsors were American Tobacco and Procter & Gamble.

Beaumont was now out of the picture almost entirely, contributing scriptsonly through the ghostwriters Jerry Sohl and John Tomerlin, and afterproducing only 13 episodes, Bert Granet left and was replaced by WilliamFrougwith whom Serling had worked on Playhouse 90.

Froug made a number of unpopular decisions; first by shelvingseveral scripts purchased under Granet's term (includingMathesons "The Doll", which was nominated for a Writer'sGuild Award when finally produced in 1986 on AmazingStories); secondly, Froug alienated George Clayton Johnsonwhen he hired Richard deRoy to completely rewrite Johnsonsteleplay Tick of Time, eventually produced as "Ninety YearsWithout Slumbering". "It makes the plot trivial", complainedJohnson of the resulting script, insisting he be given screen creditfor the final version of the episode as "Johnson Smith". Tick ofTime became Johnsons final submission to The Twilight Zone.

Even under these conditions, several episodes were produced thatare well remembered, including "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet", "AKind of a Stopwatch" and "Living Doll". Although this season received no Emmy recognition, episodenumber 142, "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge"a 1962 French-produced short film which wasmodified slightly for broadcastreceived the Academy Award for best short film in 1963.[16]

In late January 1964, CBS announced the show's cancellation. "For one reason or other, Jim Aubreydecided he was sick of the show... [H]e claimed that it was too far over budget and that the ratingsweren't good enough", explained Froug. But Serling countered by telling the Daily Variety that he had"decided to cancel the network". ABC showed interest in bringing the show over to their network underthe new name Witches, Warlocks and Werewolves, but Serling was not impressed. "The networkexecutives seem to prefer weekly ghouls, and we have what appears to be a considerable difference in

opinion. I don't mind my show being supernatural, but I don't want to be booked into a graveyard everyweek." Shortly afterwards Serling sold his 40% share in The Twilight Zone to CBS, leaving the showand indeed all projects involving the supernatural behind him until 1969, when Night Gallery debuted.

CastingBeing an anthology series with no recurring characters, The Twilight Zone features a wide array of gueststars for each episode, some of whom appeared in multiple episodes. Many episodes feature earlyperformances from actors who later became famous, such as Theodore Bikel, Bill Bixby, LloydBochner, Morgan Brittany, Charles Bronson, Carol Burnett, Donna Douglas, Robert Duvall, Peter Falk,Constance Ford, Joan Hackett, Dennis Hopper, Ron Howard, Martin Landau, Cloris Leachman, JeanMarsh, Elizabeth Montgomery, Billy Mumy, Julie Newmar, Barbara Nichols, Leonard Nimoy, RobertRedford, Burt Reynolds, Janice Rule, William Shatner, Dean Stockwell, George Takei, Joyce VanPatten, Jack Warden, Jonathan Winters, and Dick York. Other episodes feature performances by actorslater in their careers, such as Dana Andrews, Joan Blondell, Ann Blyth, Art Carney, Jack Carson, GladysCooper, William Demarest, Andy Devine, Cedric Hardwicke, Josephine Hutchinson, Buster Keaton, IdaLupino, Kevin McCarthy, Agnes Moorehead, Alan Napier, Franchot Tone, Mickey Rooney, and EdWynn.

Stone, and Estelle Winwood. The actor who appears in the most episodes isRobert McCord.

MusicBesides the legendary Bernard Herrmann and Jerry Goldsmith, other contributors to the music wereNathan Van Cleave, Leonard Rosenman, Fred Steiner, and Franz Waxman. The first season featured anorchestral title theme by Herrmann, who also wrote original scores for seven of the episodes, includingthe premiere, "Where Is Everybody?" The iconic guitar theme most associated with the show waswritten by the French avant-garde composer Marius Constant as part of a series of short cuescommissioned by CBS as library music for the series. Used from season two onwards, the theme as airedwas a splicing together of two of these library cues "Etrange 3 (Strange No. 3)" and "Milieu 2 (MiddleNo. 2)". Varse Sarabande released several albums of music from the series, focusing on the episodesthat received original scores.

Originally, there were five episodes not included in the syndication package. Three of those ("Soundsand Silences", "Miniature", and "A Short Drink From a Certain Fountain") were involved in plagiarismlawsuits. The other two, which have never been in syndication (both from season five), are "AnOccurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" (a French short film, aired twice per agreement with the filmmakers)and "The Encounter" (which was pulled after its initial showing).[22]

The program airs weeknights at 9:30pm Eastern/8:30pm Central on ME-TV as of February 9 2015.
