SERLINGFEST 2020 SERLINGFEST AT HOME Our Annual Event Goes On Despite COVID-19 By Nick Parisi In the summer of 2020 we had planned to hold our fourth annual “SerlingFest” in Binghamton, New York, live and in person. With all of us forced to imitate James Corry, exiled to our personal asteroids, we decided instead to hold our first “virtual” SerlingFest – and it was a huge success. On August 15, 2020, the Rod Serling Memorial Foundation Facebook page played host to an eight-hour marathon of presentations and interviews with an array of Serling aficionados.

IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE READER USE 2-PAGE VIEW (BOOK FORMAT WITH SCROLLING ENABLED) IN ACROBAT READER OR BROWSER. “EVEN’ING IT OUT – A NEW PERSPECTIVE ON THE LAST TWO YEARS OF “THE TWILIGHT ZONE” Television Series (minus ‘THE’)” A Study in Three Parts by Andrew Ramage © 2019, The Twilight Zone Museum. All rights reserved. Preface With some hesitation at CBS, Cayuga Productions continued Twilight Zone for what would be its last season, with a thirty-six episode pipeline – a larger count than had been seen since its first year. Producer Bert Granet, who began producing in the previous season, was soon replaced by William Froug as he moved on to other projects. The fifth season has always been considered the weakest and, as one reviewer stated, “undisputably the worst.” Harsh criticism. The lopsidedness of Seasons 4 and 5 – with a smattering of episodes that egregiously deviated from the TZ mold, made for a series much-changed from the one everyone had come to know. A possible reason for this was an abundance of rather disdainful or at least less-likeable characters. Most were simply too hard to warm up to, or at the very least, identify with. But it wasn’t just TZ that was changing. Television was no longer as new a medium. “It was a period of great ferment,” said George Clayton Johnson. By 1963, the idyllic world of the 1950s was disappearing by the day. More grittily realistic and reality-based TV shows were imminent, as per the viewing audience’s demand and it was only a matter of time before the curtain came down on the kinds of shows everyone grew to love in the 50s.

  • Newsletter Summer 2017
    Newsletter-SUMMER 2017 Since the mid-1980's this organization has been dedicated to honoring Rod Serling—one of the most talented and prolific writers in American television. This newsletter highlights RSMF activities, as well as the continuing interest in Rod Serling in the press... on bookshelves... DVDs and the internet. THE TWILIGHT ZONE COMES HOME On July 15, 2017, nearly two hundred Rod Serling fans attended “The Twilight Zone Comes Home” at the Forum Theatre in Serling’s hometown of Binghamton, New York. Fans traveled from across the country and even from Canada for a full-day celebration of Serling’s love for his hometown. Hosted by the Rod Serling Memorial Foundation, the event featured readings by Rod’s daughters, Anne and Jodi, a screening of the documentary, The Carousel (winner of the 2017 Rod Serling award), a performance of the one-act play Everything I Need to Know I Learned in the Twilight Zone, a panel discussion and Q&A session with the country’s foremost Serling scholars (our very own Board members Tony Albarella, Amy Boyle Johnston, Brian Frey, and Nicholas Parisi, as well as author Mark Dawidziak), and ended with three classic Twilight Zone episodes shown on the big screen: The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street, Time Enough at Last, and Walking Distance (courtesy of CBS, Inc.) Proceeds from the event, which will almost certainly be the first of many such events, will support the Foundation’s continuing efforts to promote and preserve Rod Serling’s legacy. Thank you to all that attended! by Nick Parisi “Twilight Zone Comes Home” July 15, 2017 Forum Theater Binghamton, NY PHOTOS BY: RSMF Board member KATE MURRAY Night Gallery will forever be remembered as Rod Serling’s “other” sci-fi/fantasy/horror series, and a perennial distant cousin to The Twilight Zone.

  • The Twilight Zone: Landmark Television Derek Kompare
    The Twilight Zone: Landmark Television Derek Kompare From the original edition of How to Watch Television published in 2013 by New York University Press Edited by Ethan Thompson and Jason Mittell Accessed at nyupress.org/9781479898817 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial- NoDerivatives 4.0 International License (CC BY-NC-ND). 32 The Twilight Zone Landmark Television Derek Kompare Abstract: Few programs in television history are as iconic as Te Twilight Zone, which lingers in cultural memory as one of the medium’s most distinctive aesthetic and cultural peaks. Derek Kompare examines the show’s signature style and voice of its emblematic creator Rod Serling, exploring how the program’s legacy lives on today across genres and eras. As with any other art form, television history is in large part an assemblage of exemplary works. Industrial practices, cultural infuences, and social contexts are certainly primary points of media histories, but these factors are most ofen recognized and analyzed in the form of individual texts: moments when par- ticular forces temporarily converge in unique combinations, which subsequently function as historical milestones. Regardless of a perceived historical trajectory towards or away from “progress,” certain programs have come to represent the confuence of key variables at particular moments: I Love Lucy (CBS, 1951–1957) revolutionized sitcom production; Monday Night Football (ABC, 1970–2005; ESPN, 2005–present) supercharged the symbiotic relationship of sports and tele- vision; Hill Street Blues (NBC, 1981–1987) introduced the “quality” serial drama to primetime. Te Twilight Zone (CBS, 1959–1964) is an anomalous case, simultaneously one of the most important and least representative of such milestones.

Obsessions, paranoia, wilful acts of self-destruction surround us constantly. Though we age we still hear the cries of those for whom the attraction to mournful chaos is monumental.” Because of this common contemporary feeling, our age can be called, what Teresa Brennan has termed “the age of paranoia” (Brennan 20). Everything we experience seems to belong to a global world of technological information that gives us access to instantaneous “contact”, giving also the feeling that we live in a reality that does not exist, or only exists in our minds as a kind of imaginary construct, leading to what Freud called a fixation in a narcissistic state of being.
