The Twlight Zone End Credits Rod Serling Promo For Next Week Here is the way that the end of most Twilight Zone episodes were originally broadcast. If I could make an suggestion: To enjoy these shows as they were meant to be seen, PLEASE...stay away from the Sci-Fi channel's offerings (sorry, I canceled my cable several years ago and I'm assuming the Sci Fi channel is still showing those butchered up episodes). They have butchered the episodes so bad, they are imossible to watch. I happened to catch one of my all time favorite TZ's on the Sci-Fi channel years ago. "And When The Sky Was Opened" was written by Rod Serling, but based on Richard Matheson's short story "Disappearing Act." I love the way the suspense builds thoughout the show to the point where Colonel Clegg Forbes, played by Rod Taylor, is in the hotel room with Amy, his wife. He comes to the realization that Harrington is still in the bar, and jumps out the window. The scene cuts to him peering though the glass door yelling "Harrington! Harrington!" Until finally, he busts through the glass and gives one final scream of HARRINGTON! You know at that point that he's completely lost it. The SCI-FI channel technician who is/was in charge of cutting the clips from the original running times to times that would fit in THEIR schedule COMPLETELY CUT OUT THE ENTIRE SEGMENT! It disgusted me so much that I swore I would never watch another TZ episode broadcast on the SCI-FI channel. "And When The Sky Was Opened" is a powerful story, and Rod Taylor provides an excellent performance. To add to this great episode is Leonard Rosenman's score. It's eerie, haunting, and fits perfectly. Believe me: These shows cannot be truly appreciated without watching them as they were originally broadcast. Check out your local dvd rental place, or buy the seasons on dvd. Our local library even has episodes you can check out. Once again, here you'll find the announcer saying "And now Mr. Serling." Rod did this little promo at the end of most Twilight Zone episodes. He gave a brief preview of the following week's program. This particular spot covers one of my all time favorite TZ's: Walking Distance. Also the end credits from The 16 Milimeter Shrine are offered along with the promo for Wanted Dead Or Alive and the all seeing CBS eye... According to the book The Twilight Zone Companion, by Marc Scott Zicree, Serling was very nervous in front of the camera. In the first season, all of Serling's narrations were off camera. Beginning with the second season, he began appearing at the beginning of each show. Director Lamont Johnson states he had a terrible time with Rod's shots. In some cases, he filmed Rod without him knowing it. In all, however, Serling come across as being comfortable in front of the camera. Just goes to show you what filming a program can do. There are various releases of The Twilight Zone on dvd. The best in my opinion are "The Twilight Zone, The Definitive Edition" seasons dvd sets. There are many special features contained in these box sets, plus they include all episodes from a particular season. I particularly enjoy these previews, as well as the original Twilight Zone billboards. Also, extras include isolated music scores, commentaries, photo galleries and The Twilight Zone radio dramas, just to name a few. I'm also glad they kept in the promos for other CBS shows, such as Wanted: Dead Of Alive, and The Danny Thomas Show. If you are as much a Twilight Zone fan as I, then you will find these "Definitive" sets very entertaining!

ROD SERLING IMPERSONATOR TWILIGHT ZONE SKIT TIM BEASLEY Rod Serling Impersonator Twilight Zone Skit performance by Tim Beasley, variety celebrity impersonator. Book Tim as "Rod Serling" nationally at the web site http://www.tbcstars.com 757-589-0903 In the early 1960's, science -fiction fans of all ages watched and listened intently to Rod Serling as he introduced each weekly episode of The Twilight Zone, CBS television's super hit. Rod Serling delivered the strange prologues in his cool, unhurried voice, leading the viewers into a wonderful world of imagination. His dark features, intense eyes and riveting posture were perfect compliments to his mysterious overall demeanor and reflected the feel of the show itself.... Tim Beasley, a national variety celebrity emcee performer and unique Rod Serling impersonator, recreates that Rod Serling mystique in a very personal way...He's a first generation fan, and credits Rod Serling and The Twilight Zone with super-naturally charging up his young imagination to become years later, a galaxy of famous folks in his celebrity impersonation shows known collectively as Tim Beasley's Celebrity Stars. As a youngster watching in the glow of the original black & white "TZ" broadcasts, Tim would recognize the visual and verbal elements of Rod Serling, so he could become, just like in a Twilight Zone episode, a Rod Serling clone. In this video here, you'll find Tim as 'Bod Serloin" in a fun take-off on Rod Serling, weaving a quick 5th dimension description about Tim's variety of national celebrity impersonations..See much more on this at website http://www.tbcstars.com that also features Tim's Edgar Allan Poe, John Lennon, Roy Orbison, Buddy Holly, Jim Morrison, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis, Tom Jones, Rod Stewart, Dean Martin, Willie Nelson, Gene Autry, General Patton, Austin Powers, Donald Trump, Clint Eastwood, Johnny Carson and more! Tim does perform as "Rod Serling" in true form, and has entertained for many TZ fan's special events, plus you'll find Tim as "Rod" on promotional videos, radio spots and live stages across the country. Having a fun party, special event, retail promotion or corporate social celebrating the supernatural, like Friday the 13th, or just a fun flashback to the 60's, time-warp style? Tim can emcee the event, and he can also bring along a few of his other "celebrity stars" to entertain in spotlight performances. Let Tim as "Rod Serling" be your conductor on the tracks to "another dimension" of party fun!

MIKE WALLACE INTERVIEW - ROD SERLING - 9/22/59 - pt 1 of 3 In 1959, CBS aired the first episode of a groundbreaking series, The Twilight Zone. Serling fought hard for creative control, hiring writers he respected (such as Richard Matheson and Charles Beaumont) and launched himself into weekly television. He stated in an interview that "the science fiction format would not be controversial and would escape censorship unlike the earlier Playhouse 90. In reality the show gave him the opportunity to communicate social messages in a more veiled context. Serling drew on his own experiences for many episodes, with frequent stories about boxing, military life and aircraft pilots, which integrated Serling's firsthand knowledge. The series also incorporated Serling's progressive social views on racial relations and the like, which were somewhat veiled by the sci-fi/fantasy elements of the shows. Occasionally, however, Serling could be quite blunt, as in the episode I Am The Night — Color Me Black, where America's racism and hatred causes a dark cloud to form in the South before eventually spreading elsewhere. Serling was also progressive on matters of gender, with many stories featuring quick-thinking, resilient women, although he also wrote stories featuring shrewish, nagging wives. The show lasted five seasons (four using a half-hour format, with one half-season using an hour-long format), winning awards and critical acclaim for Serling and his staff. While having a loyal fan base, the program never had huge ratings and was twice canceled, only to be revived. After five years and 156 episodes, 92 of them written by Serling himself, Serling wearied of the show. In 1964, he decided to let the third cancellation be final. Serling sold his rights to the series to CBS. His wife later claimed that he did this partly because he believed the studio would never recoup the cost of the show, which frequently went over budget. In hindsight, this move proved to be a costly mistake. Tags: mike wallace rod serling twilight zone tv interview 1959 |
