More on The Twilight Zone
Description from Wikipedia:
The Twilight Zone is an American television series created by Rod Serling. The original series ran for five seasons on CBS from 1959 to 1964 and remains syndicated to this day. As an anthology series, each episode presented its own separate story, often a morality play, involving people who face unusual or extraordinary circumstances, therefore entering the "Twilight Zone". Rod Serling served as executive producer and head writer, having written 92 of the show's 156 episodes. He was also the show's host, delivering on-or-off-screen monologues at the beginning and end of each episode.
Orson Welles was originally considered, but the producers felt he asked for too much money.
Except for the season's final episode, Serling's narrations during the first season were off-camera voiceovers – he only appeared on-camera at the end of each show to introduce previews of the next episode.
