I was born in 1949 and my idol was Rod Serling. I got to know him, his wife and two daughters and wouldn't trade the time I spent with them for more breaths on my death bed. He was extremely down to earth and very approachable and very easy to talk with. I would almost sell my soul to the devil for one tenth of his talent! The Twilight Zone-still the best anything ever put on television!..

@Burps___ 3 года назад

Mr. Rod Serling passed away on June 28, 1975...less than three years after this airing. He was only 50 years old, and had heart disease. His wife, Carol, passed away at age 90 in year 2020 and is buried next to Rod in upstate New York.

@watchmanschannelofdespair 3 года назад

@@commanderkeen3787 I wouldn't refer to them as demons, like many WWII vets he had PTSD, I mean he saw one G.I. die right in front of him in a resupply accident, when cargo dropped from a plane fell on a guy from his regiment, killing him instantly. Now, while we know that smoking isn't healthy, many do live beyond the age of 50, my own aunt lived to be 84, outliving her siblings who didn't smoke. I daresay she'd have lived longer and better without it, of course. My point is that it was more than smoking that hep to cut short Mr. Serling's life, he was overworked, as was common in his profession, unfortunately and as we all should know by now, stress kills, even the 'Good Book' mentions about not "worrying".

@@earlpipe9713 I saw the fim many years ago in the early morning hours on broadcast TV (the ABC station?) James Earl Jones is an accidental president because he is Senate Pres. Pro Tem. when tragedy strikes. The most interesting part of the film is that the racist Southern segragationist senator played by B. Meredith (Strom Thurmond as the model?) finds common ground with the Apartied South Africans in a white supremacist birds of a feather flocking together scene. I can't imagine a screenwriter doing that today, but Serling was no ordinary writer.

The air date for this episode given in the description box -- July 12, 1972 -- is incorrect. It was actually a week later, July 19, 1972 -- which makes sense, since they're shown talking about the Democratic convention as if it's already in the past, whereas it would still have been in progress on July 12th.

The same thing happened to George Takei when he ran for office during the original airing of Star Trek: The Animated Series. In 1973 he ran for a seat on the Los Angeles City Council, finishing second of five candidates in the special election and losing by 1,647 votes; the winner, David Cunningham Jr., received 42% of the votes cast and Takei received 33%. During the campaign, Takei's bid for the city council caused one local station to stop running the repeats of the original Star Trek series until after the election and KNBC-TV to substitute the premiere episode of the Star Trek animated series scheduled by the network with another in which his character did not appear, in attempts to avoid violating the FCC's equal-time rule.[81] The other candidates in the race complained that Takei's distinctive and powerful voice alone, even without his image on television every week, created an unfair advantage

Rod tried not to let his own exact political views be directly mentioned in his stuff as--well, he was a Democrat. And if you're a Democrat and your stuff is ragingly liberal--the liberals eat it up. But the conservatives (and all other non-liberals) are going to just tune out. He wanted his stuff to be... really more philosophical. His brother Robert was a raging Republican. And their contrasting ideals are the real reason they had a feud. They mended the burned bridges eventually. But that's the problem with politics. It divides people. Tears them completely apart.
