The Twilight Zone is one of my all time favorite TV shows. It was created by Rod Serling, who I think is a genius. He wrote most of the episodes, and he used the format to get around some of the troubles he had encountered while writing Playhouse 90 scripts. Serling wanted to comment on things like racism, war and other social issues, but the networks censored most of this material. So he created Twilight Zone and used aliens and other science fiction means to convey some of his beliefs.
Here’s one of his anit-war messages, in a Twilight Zone episode titled, A Quality Of Mercy. Your next stop...The Twilight Zone!
P.S. Look for Leonard Nimoy in this!

I love the Twilight Zone! I like the information you supply with the Daily videos, lots of good pop culture info!
john travolta created "battlefield earth" for the very same reasons. e-power, activate!
One of my all time favorite shows too!
Space is now the new Twilight Zone, which of course Tom now censors....
And yes, of course, I am an alien fighting the evil forces of FaceBook, whose face I cannot see.....
'They' tell me if I go in there I will enjoy it and will never wish to come back, but I won't ever trust "The Face Machine, for I'm still in hiding from the horror of High School cliques and Prom Queens!
