Twilight Zone on CBS

[1959, TV Show]

Twilight Zone: TV Guide News

A classic anthology of sci-fi, suspense and goosebump-inducing tales that explore 'a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man.' Filled with invention and irony, the stories are tightly constructed, ingenious flights of imagination with often cautionary themes---and frequently a terrific twist at the end. Host and prolific writer Rod Serling penned most of the episodes himself. Influential and often (poorly) imitated, the series was resurrected twice, in 1985 on CBS and in 2002 on UPN.

Is Leonardo DiCaprio Entering The Twilight Zone? | Movie News | 7/25/2008
Leonardo DiCaprio's production company, Appian Way, and Warner Bros. are on the lookout for material for a feature-length spin on the classic TV series The Twilight Zone.According to The Hollywood Reporter, the studio and production company are quietly seeking out pitches and scripts for development. However, rather than follow the formula of the last big-screen attempt in 1983, which served as a remake of three episodes, the companies hope to build one continuing storyline based on one or more... read more

Ask Matt | 9/10/2007
I know it's a little late, but I'd like to address the Emmy nominations. I think that Elizabeth Mitchell definitely was robbed of a Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series nod for Lost. Her work has been top-notch, and Juliet emerged as my favorite character this Lost season. Cheers for Michael Emerson and Terry O'Quinn on their nominations. They ? especially Emerson as the enigmatic and chilling Ben ? deserve it. But the person who perhaps deserves an Emmy nomination most of all, and who ... read more
A Push for Pushing Daisies | Roush Dispatch | 7/26/2007
Could the third time be the charm? Being an eternal optimist when it comes to TV shows I love, I certainly hope so. For the third season in a row, the show I’ve picked as my favorite pilot of the fall season is on ABC, and once again, after two consecutive seasons of my pick failing to make the grade, this show’s projected success is far from a slam dunk. But let me tell you why I believe, despite all logical skepticism to the contrary, that the dazzling “forensic fairy... read more

Sopranos: Seeking a Singing Fat Lady | Roush Dispatch | 6/11/2007
I’m sure I’m not the only person who got a phone call shortly after The Sopranos was over, with someone on the other end wondering frantically if their TV had gone out at the crucial final moment of the final episode. Because surely it didn’t just go to black. And I don’t mean fade to black. I mean, crash to black. To total black, including absolute silence as, after several elongated seconds, the credits began to roll, minus the usual music.When it’s over, it’s... read more
Lost: Who Were Those Pretty People? | Roush Dispatch | 3/29/2007
As a happy distraction from our long national nightmare — make that bad joke — that is Sanjaya Malakar, can I just say that Lost blew me away Wednesday night? What an absolute treat of an episode, a clear sign that the show, after a stalled fall, is back in full throttle, back on its creative game and still more than capable of spinning a great, entertaining yarn.Weaving flashbacks that appeared to be posthumous but really weren't (more on that later) while providing clever new... read more

September 26, 2006: Danes' Pains and Automobiles | Gilmore Girls | 9/27/2006
No matter how many inn reservations Luke Danes made, no matter how much cool stuff he packed for a romantic honeymoon, no matter how long he stood there with those puppy-dog eyes begging for forgiveness, nothing called off his quickie wedding plans faster than Lorelai?s one line: ?I slept with Christopher.? Even I was equally blindsided by her flat, emotionless admission. But that?s probably because I was watching the entire episode on the edge of my couch, judging every line, analyzing every... read more

Premise: A classic anthology of sci-fi, suspense and goosebump-inducing tales that explore 'a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man.' Filled with invention and irony, the stories are tightly constructed, ingenious flights of imagination with often cautionary themes---and frequently a terrific twist at the end.
