About this show

The Twilight Zone became the role model for TV anthologies. The parables which usually resided in the world of fantasy or science fiction expertly explored humanity's hopes, despairs, prides and prejudices in metaphoric ways conventional drama cannot.

NPR IS RIGHT ABOUT THE "NEW TWILIGHT ZONE" SHOW, IT COMES CLOSE TO THE ORIGINAL IN SOME WAYS - BUT "CLOSE" ONLY COUNTS IN HORSE SHOES AND HAND GRENADES! OLD ONE HAS BEST PLOT AND CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, AND SOME STARS, BEFORE THEY WERE STARS!
