The original “The Twilight Zone” premiered on Oct. 2, 1959 on CBS. The series took viewers to another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound, but of mind. “The Twilight Zone” became a worldwide phenomenon as it used socially conscious storytelling to explore the human condition and culture of the times. It was a journey into a wondrous land of imagination for five years on CBS, from 1959 to 1964. The godfather of sci-fi series, the show explored humanity’s hopes, despairs, prides and prejudices in metaphoric ways conventional dramas could not. Every episode of the original series is available to stream now on CBS All Access.

I am very disappointed in what you (CBS) have done in the ‘dumbing down’ of such a classic tv series. Shame on you! If you believe you have to integrate foul language in order to tell a story, I feel nothing but pity for you. I gave up on your ‘new’ version without making it through the very first episode. So unnecessary to blacken the show with f-bombs. It’s an insult to Rod Serling.
