The Real Twilight

Did I miss it when people were talking about this year being the 50th anniversary of The Twilight Zone? Maybe I heard it earlier this year? Regardless, I was working on the "Monsters Are Due on Maple Street" icon for tvpassiton when I noticed it was true. In thirteen days, it'll be fifty years since "Time Enough at Last" premiered.

(Of course, now that I see the icon on a different monitor, though, I can see that I screwed up the coloring a bit, so I'll redo it tomorrow.)

The first three seasons are available for streaming at CBS. I think I'm going to put it on my list of old shows to watch; I'm still working my way through The Mysterious Cities of Gold. It might even be appropriate for a Rewatch project, like the various Farscape rewatches.

It had a big psychic presence in my childhood and I've seen a couple eps as a a teen, but I've never given it a thorough viewing as an adult. I think I might have to try to see some at CBS. Thanks for the link!

It's always interesting to me to look at the pacing. Especially in the first season, Twilight Zone feels most like stage drama. Also, a number of the simpler stories (especially in the first season) show a different picture of Twilight Zone than one gets from the heavy hitters.
