• The Twilight Zone is basically several fictional case studies in irony,horror and other human frailities. It is timeless. The Show is one of the best ever created. If anybody ever watched the biography of Rod Serling a friend in the paratroopers was killed in WW2 when a parachute with ammunition hit his friend in the head and he died. What was dropped to save them killed one. Very Ironic. This 30 minute anthology series was tops. I loved the "To Serve Man" one. It kind of makes you wonder if we ever do meet alien life how they would think of us, as equals or lower on the food chain. "He Lives" is another about the evil that men do living long beyond their grave. In this case it was Adolph Hitler. The man returning to the concentration camp years after being its commandant is excellent in the victims getting revenge tale. Every tale is filled with irony, whether it is horror or humor or anything else. The TZ works because of it. It was a great show.
