The twisted and bizarre got weekly airtime in Rod Serling’s sci-fi anthology, the Twilight Zone. The yet-to-be matched creep factor of the Twilight Zone is still used to measure all else unexplainable, from the X-Files to Lost to Twilight Zone remakes trying to capture the diversity of the 1959 series. The Twilight Zone ran 156 episodes exploring the end of the world, super powers, time travel, and alien encounters all with unexpected twists alluding to some alternate reality where everything ends up sucking. It’s one of the best TV shows ever. Because it’s so easy to identify with.
