The Twilight Zone has evolved from a groundbreaking speculative
television series into a cultural phenomenon. The recently revived
series on FOX averaged 4.6 million viewers on its first episode.
Indeed, the title itself conjures up thoughts of fantastic stories
that bridge several forms of fiction to create a unique genre of
morality tales with a touch of irony, unlimited by the boundaries
of conventional fiction. Broadcast from 1959 to 1964, the show has
run ever since in syndication, making it one of the longest running
television shows of all time, creating a new genre of shows similar
to the X-Files and Twin Peaks. Five writers created the core of the
show, and together these men fashioned the bulk of the 156 original
episodes: Rod Serling, Richard Matheson, Charles Beaumont, George
Clayton Johnson, and Earl Hamner. All went on to other projects in
film, television, theater, and print, but their involvement in the
Twilight Zone is well known to fans of the series. The Twilight
Zone Scripts of Earl Hamner contains reprints of the eight episodes
written by Hamner, along with Albarella's commentary on each story:
The Hunt, "" ""A Piano in the House, "" ""Jess-Belle, ""
""Ring-a-Ding Girl, "" ""You Drive, "" ""Black Leather Jackets, ""
""Stopover in a Quiet Town, "" and ""The Bewitchin' Pool."" Also
included is a ""lost"" Twilight Zone short story by Mr. Hamner and
an interview with Albarella that covers the background details of
how Hamner became involved in the series.""
