What was “The Twilight Zone?”

According to my guest tonight, Arlen Schumer–

“Most people think The Twilight Zone was a science-fiction series—of course, it adapted some of the greatest sci-fi short stories of the 20th Century—but it was more than “just” a science-fiction series. People think it was a horror show—and while it had some of the most horri0fic shock endings ever filmed for TV or film, it was more than just horror. It was more than a “fantasy” series, too because its was grounded in a reality for more real and true for its day—and ours.

“In truth, The Twilight Zone was true television art—because it satisfies the definition of art, in that is was of its time, ahead of its time, and timeless. Look at how its episodes dealing with solitude (“The Lonely”), alienation from reality (“Where is Everybody?”), and society turning on itself (“The Monsters are Due on Maple Street,” “The Shelter”) are perfectly in tune with what we’re dealing with right now — with the current global panic over the coronavirus’ leading to sudden globally-shared necessities of “self-quarantining” and “social distancing!”

Join us tonight … for a timely and unique, REAL journey through The Twilight Zone ….

2- Here We Go Again: 9/11, Coronavirus and Another ‘New Pearl Harbor’- by Barbara Honegger

2B- FDR’s Pearl Harbor Speech Draft No. 1 with ‘without warning’ edited out

 

3-“The Time Element” (1958)
CBS purchased a teleplay in 1958 that writer Rod Serling hoped to produce as the pilot of a weekly anthology series. “The Time Element” marked Serling’s first entry in the field of science fiction.

Plot Line
Several years after the end of World War II, a man named Peter Jenson (William Bendix) visits a psychoanalyst, Dr. Gillespie (Martin Balsam). Jenson tells him about a recurring dream in which he tries to warn people about the “sneak attack” on Pearl Harbor before it happens, but the warnings are disregarded. Jenson believes the events of the dream are real, and each night he travels back to 1941. Dr. Gillespie insists that time travel is impossible given the nature of temporal paradoxes. While on the couch, Jenson falls asleep once again but this time dreams that the Japanese planes shoot and kill him. In Dr. Gillespie’s office, the couch Jenson was lying on is now empty. Dr. Gillespie goes to a bar where he finds Jenson’s picture on the wall. The bartender tells him that Jenson had tended bar there, but he was killed during the Pearl Harbor attack.

Production
With the “Time Element” script, Serling drafted the fundamental elements that defined the subsequent series: a science-fiction/fantasy theme, opening and closing narration, and an ending with a twist. “The Time Element” was purchased immediately but shelved indefinitely.

This is where things stood when Bert Granet, the new producer for Westinghouse Desilu Playhouse, discovered “The Time Element” in CBS’ vaults while searching for an original Serling script to add prestige to his show. “The Time Element” (introduced by Desi Arnaz) debuted on November 24, 1958, to an overwhelmingly delighted audience of television viewers and critics alike. “The humor and sincerity of Mr. Serling’s dialogue made ‘The Time Element’ consistently entertaining,” offered Jack Gould of The New York Times. Over 6,000 letters of praise flooded Granet’s offices. Convinced that a series based on such stories could succeed, CBS again began talks with Serling about the possibilities of producing The Twilight Zone. “Where Is Everybody?” was accepted as the pilot episode and the project was officially announced to the public in early 1959. Other than reruns at the time “The Time Element” was not aired on television again until it was shown as part of a 1996 all-night sneak preview of the new cable channel TVLand. It is available in an Italian DVD boxed set titled Ai confini della realtà – I tesori perduti. The Twilight Zone Season 1 Blu-ray boxed set released on September 14, 2010, offers a remastered high-definition version of the original Desilu Playhouse production as a special feature.[5]

Arlen Schumer is an award-winning comic book-style illustrator for the advertising and editorial markets, and a member of The Society of Illustrators; an author/designer of coffee-table art books, including Visions from The Twilight Zone and The Silver Age of Comic Book Art, which won the Independent Book Publishers Award for Best Popular Culture Book; and a recognized expert on American popular culture—especially the legendary television series The Twilight Zone and the music of Bruce Springsteen—presenting his VisuaLectures on these and other subjects at universities and cultural institutions across the country and around the world.

"My father died when I was four months old, and my Mom raised my older (by 18 months) brother and me herself. I grew up in Fair Lawn, New Jersey, a great place in the early-mid ‘60s, with equal parts bucolic American suburbia and small-town Rockwellian, pop culture ambiance. I think I ended up finding my surrogate father figures in the pop culture I was surrounded with. 

I now live in Westport, CT.  I’ve been working as an illustrator, graphic designer, writer and lecturer since I graduated from Rhode Island School of Design (majoring in Graphic Design) in 1980."
