Product Description:
2009 marks the fiftieth anniversary of The Twilight Zone, arguably one of the most popular television shows ever. Drawing on photographs and personal remembrances, Rod Serling's widow, Carol, gives commentary on some of the series' most memorable episodes. Veteran film historian Douglas Brode gives in-depth descriptions of these episodes and why they were so resonant with viewers.

The book arrived in good time and in much better condition than the description of its condition. It was purchased through Amazon.

As I began reading, I was expecting this book to be a puff-piece. Co-authored by Serling's widow, I knew it would have a bias. And it does. It is friendly, laudatory, and even hagiographic.
But in a way, this is beneficial. We clearly get passion, which is always enjoyable. And it also offsets Zicree's nit-picking (The Twilight Zone Companion).

"Rod Serling and The Twilight Show: The 50th Anniversary Tribute" is an extremely deep analysis of the creator of what I consider the most fascinating television series of all time; that is to say within this dimension and the next. The author thoroughly explores 94 of the greatest episodes in order break down the politics and philosophies craftily embedded inside them. It is a wonderful read. In each chapter we discover intricate detail after detail; all of which serve in Mr. Serling's ultimate ... Read More

October of 2009 marks the fifth decade since Rod Serling's celebrated black-and-white fables first cast their magic across the world's television screens. In anticipation of this event comes a new book in which Douglas Brode, with assistance from Serling's widow and literary caretaker, Carol, presents a look back at the groundbreaking series and the man who brought it to life.
The book's formula is hardly original, even within the realm of Twilight Zone tomes; it is an amalgam of Serling ... Read More
