This time, we are talking about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.daysoftheyear.com\/days\/twilight-zone-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">National Twilight Zone Day<\/a> &#8212; a celebration of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/search?q=rod+serling&#038;mod=AP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Rod Serling<\/a>&#8216;s groundbreaking 1959-64 anthology series. The show continues to remain a part of the pop culture conversation all of these years later because of how it shined a mirror to the human condition, showcasing man&#8217;s best and (more often) worst traits. It was unlike anything ever seen in before, and the series&#8217; reliance on twist endings and other unexpected narrative turns reverberated throughout all aspects of entertainment. <\/p>\n<p>It was television at its most masterful, and arguably the greatest and most influential show ever to air. <\/p>\n<p>Any conversation about <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/search?q=the+twilight+zone&#038;mod=AP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">The Twilight Zone<\/a><\/em> will invariably lead into a discussion of favorite episodes. &#8220;The Invaders,&#8221; &#8220;Nightmare at 20,000 Feet,&#8221; &#8220;The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street,&#8221; and on and on and on. These are installments that shocked and captivated us. (My personal favorite is &#8220;Time Enough at Last,&#8221; in which <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/search?q=burgess+meredith&#038;mod=AP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Burgess Meredith<\/a> portrays a bookworm who finally has all the hours he needs to read after the world ends&#8230;only to, womp womp, break his glasses immediately after. <\/p>\n<p>Find some time today to watch an episode or two of the series.
