    JPTV 6 (1) pp. 59–80 Intellect Limited 2018 Journal of Popular Television Volume 6 Number 1 © 2018 Intellect Ltd Article. English language. doi: 10.1386/jptv.6.1.59_1 Reba A. Wissner Montclair State University No time like the past: Hearing nostalgia in The Twilight Zone Abstract Keywords One of Rod Serling’s favourite topics of exploration in The Twilight Zone (1959–64) Twilight Zone is nostalgia, which pervaded many of the episodes of the series. Although Serling Rod Serling himself often looked back upon the past wishing to regain it, he did, however, under- nostalgia stand that we often see things looking back that were not there and that the past is CBS often idealized. Like Serling, many ageing characters in The Twilight Zone often sentimentality look back or travel to the past to reclaim what they had lost. While this is a perva- stock music sive theme in the plots, in these episodes the music which accompanies the scores depict the reality of the past, showing that it is not as wonderful as the charac- ter imagined. Often, music from these various situations is reused within the same context, allowing for a stock music collection of music of nostalgia from the series. This article discusses the music of nostalgia in The Twilight Zone and the ways in which the music depicts the reality of the harshness of the past. By feeding into their own longing for the reclamation of the past, the writers and composers of these episodes remind us that what we remember is not always what was there.

  • JUDITH MERRIL-PDF-Sep23-07.Pdf (368.7Kb)
    JUDITH MERRIL: AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY AND GUIDE Compiled by Elizabeth Cummins Department of English and Technical Communication University of Missouri-Rolla Rolla, MO 65409-0560 College Station, TX The Center for the Bibliography of Science Fiction and Fantasy December 2006 Table of Contents Preface Judith Merril Chronology A. Books B. Short Fiction C. Nonfiction D. Poetry E. Other Media F. Editorial Credits G. Secondary Sources About Elizabeth Cummins PREFACE Scope and Purpose This Judith Merril bibliography includes both primary and secondary works, arranged in categories that are suitable for her career and that are, generally, common to the other bibliographies in the Center for Bibliographic Studies in Science Fiction. Works by Merril include a variety of types and modes—pieces she wrote at Morris High School in the Bronx, newsletters and fanzines she edited; sports, westerns, and detective fiction and non-fiction published in pulp magazines up to 1950; science fiction stories, novellas, and novels; book reviews; critical essays; edited anthologies; and both audio and video recordings of her fiction and non-fiction. Works about Merill cover over six decades, beginning shortly after her first science fiction story appeared (1948) and continuing after her death (1997), and in several modes— biography, news, critical commentary, tribute, visual and audio records. This new online bibliography updates and expands the primary bibliography I published in 2001 (Elizabeth Cummins, “Bibliography of Works by Judith Merril,” Extrapolation, vol. 42, 2001). It also adds a secondary bibliography. However, the reasons for producing a research- based Merril bibliography have been the same for both publications. Published bibliographies of Merril’s work have been incomplete and often inaccurate.

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.

  • Traces of the Trade Leader's Guide FINAL
    Traces of the Trade: A Story from the Deep North A Documentary by Katrina Browne Leader’s Guide Rev. Sofía Betancourt and Rabbi Julia Watts Belser Introduction About the Film: Traces of the Trade: A Story from the Deep North chronicles the journey of nine descendants of the largest slave-trading family in the United States, as they probe the history of their New England ancestors and confront the contemporary legacies of slavery. The documentary follows producer/director Katrina Browne as she and her family travel to Rhode Island, Ghana, and Cuba to retrace the notorious Triangle Trade – and search for the hidden history of their family, the region, and the nation. Though contemporary Americans commonly hold the South solely responsible for slavery, Traces of the Trade exposes New England’s deep involvement in the slave trade and shows how slavery was a cornerstone of the region’s commercial life. Together with the DeWolf family descendants, viewers will have the opportunity to grapple with the history and modern consequences of slavery, the corrosive role of silence in contemporary conversations about race, issues of white privilege and guilt, and questions of response, repair, and reparations. For more information about the film, please visit http://www.tracesofthetrade.org/ . Overarching Format and Program Setup: In order to provide congregations with a variety of opportunities to engage with Traces of the Trade, this study guide includes designs for three different programs: Film Night – a single-session program for viewing and discussing the film in a congregational setting. For all group sizes. (2.5 hours) Single-Session Program – an extended program for viewing and discussing the film, including issues of silence and complicity and the role of the church.

  • Star Trek's Fifty Year Mission: an Essay Celebrating a Cultural Landmark
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE Star Trek’s Fifty Year Mission: an Essay Celebrating a Cultural Landmark Star Trek’s Fifty Year Mission: an Essay Celebrating a Cultural Landmark Martin Connolly ‘Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange, new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilisations, to boldly go where no man has gone before.’ Star Trek is a half-century old. The first ever episode of the original television series aired on September 8th, 1966. The fifty-minute show (or one hour, considering advertisements), on the NBC network, was entitled ‘The Man Trap’, and concerned an alien predator which disguised itself as human in order to entrap, and kill, its victims. It was science fiction, but science fiction that could appeal to both a younger and an older audience. Cast demographics steered toward the latter: the two main characters (Kirk & Spock) were played by actors who were both thirty-five years old, while the third most important character (McCoy) was played an actor who had only four years to go to reach his own half-century.(1) If younger people might be wooed by the science fiction element, more mature viewers could find plenty to enjoy in terms of pure drama. The dialogue was generally excellent because it was character-centric, and the acting was always of the highest quality. Many of the writers who would contribute to the series already had a －17－ reputation for producing thought-provoking sci-fi –writers like Richard Matheson, Theodore Sturgeon and Harlan Ellison.

  • Science Fiction As the Mythology of the Future
    Science Fiction as the Mythology of the Future “The universe is made of stories, not of atoms.” Muriel Rukeyser Introduction Science fiction is clearly the most visible and influential contemporary form of futurist thinking in the modern world. Why is science fiction so popular? As I will argue, one main reason for the popularity of science fiction is that it resonates with all the fundamental dimensions of the human mind and human experience. It speaks to the total person about the future. At the outset, let me provide a working definition of science fiction. Although not all science fiction deals with the future, its primary focus has been on the possibilities of the future. In this regard, science fiction can be defined as a literary and narrative approach to the future, involving plots, story lines and action sequences, specific settings, dramatic resolutions, and varied and unique characters, human and otherwise. It is imaginative, concrete, and often highly detailed scenario-building about the future set in the form of stories. In this chapter I describe the historical development of science fiction as an approach to the future tracing its origins to science and evolutionary theory, secular philosophy, technological forecasting, mythology, and the philosophy of Romanticism.1 Within this historical review, I consider the rich array of futurist themes and issues examined in science fiction. I also describe the diverse functions and innumerable strengths of science fiction as a mode of future consciousness. My central arguments are: • Science fiction engages all the fundamental capacities of the human mind; it generates holistic future consciousness.

But they’re shocked to hear his reason for premature retirement: John claims he must move on because he is immortal, and cannot stay in one place for more than ten years without his secret being discovered. Tempers rise and emotions flow as John’s fellow professors attempt to poke holes in his story, but it soon becomes clear that his tale is as impossible to disprove as it is to verify. What starts out as a friendly gathering soon builds to an unexpected and shattering climax. Acclaimed science fiction writer Jerome Bixby, writer of the original ‘Star Trek’ and ‘The Twilight Zone’, originally conceived this story back in the early 1960’s.
