In A Previous Post I Said To Hum The Tune Of A Science Fiction TV Show,

I have just remembered the shows name, it was The Twilight Zone, I seem to remember the catch phrase "we have control" the Twilight Zone (CBS, 1959-64) stands as the role model for TV anthologies, its trenchant sci-fi/fantasy parables explore humanity's hopes, despairs, prides and prejudices in metaphoric ways conventional drama cannot, sounds a bit pretentious but it was a fun series, it was created by Rod Sterling, Rodman Edward Serling was born in Syracuse, N.Y., on December 25, 1924, and grew up in Binghamton, the son of a wholesale meat dealer, by his own account, he had no early literary ambitions, though from an early age, he and his older brother, Robert, immersed themselves in movies and in such magazines as Astounding Stories and Weird Tales, on the day he graduated from high school, Serling enlisted in the U.S. Army 11th Airborne Division paratroopers, and after basic training (during which time he took up boxing and won 17 out of 18 bouts) he was sent into combat in the Philippines and wounded by shrapnel, he began writing full-time, from 1951 to 1955, more than 70 of his television scripts were produced, garnering both critical and public acclaim, full-scale success came on Wednesday, Jan. 12, 1955, with the live airing of his Kraft Television Theatre script "Patterns." deemed a "creative triumph" by critics, and the winner of the first of Serling's six Emmy awards, the acclaimed production was actually remounted live to air a second time on Feb. 9, 1955 — an unprecedented event, the pictures are from here, Rod Serling died on June 28, 1975, in Rochester, N.Y., of complications arising from a coronary bypass operation.
