Strange things happen in the town of Mercer, Ohio, but the sense of wonder is quite subdued among the residents, many of whom work at the Center for Experimental Physics. The particle accelerator in the underground facility unlocks the secrets of the universe, but it also causes fantastical anomalies in the surface world. However, Tales from the Loop isn’t strictly about the weird happenings themselves; rather, the show explores the emotional impact that results from a slight shift in reality as we know it, and although the slow pace may not be for everyone, the anthology aspect of the series ensures that each episode will have its own dramatic appeal.
Tales from the Loop centers mostly, but not exclusively, around the Willard family headed by the Loop founder Russ. In the three episodes provided to journalists for review, we see a strained relationship between the patriarch and his son...

Guest columnist Anne Serling on the 60th anniversary of her father’s seminal television series.
“In His Absence” by Anne Serling
It feels nothing short of staggering that The Twilight Zone is about to celebrate its 60th anniversary. And no one would have been more surprised (or humbled) than my father.
The show has been in constant syndication all of these decades with marathons on the Syfy Channel twice a year, a 1983 Twilight Zone movie, and a U.S. postal stamp. There have also been numerous stage productions, books and graphic novels, action figures, calendars, cards, video games, T-shirts, hats, bobbleheads, lunch boxes, a pinball machine, and even a theme park attraction—to name a few. There have been three remakes of the show; the most recent being Jordan Peele’s on CBS All Access.

As CBS All Access gets ready to debut Jordan Peele’s heavily-anticipated reboot of “The Twilight Zone,” Rod Serling himself would be among those shocked to see that the 1960s-era black-and-white anthology series has stood the test of time.
Serling created the famed science-fiction series in 1959, and his daughter believes that he would be astonished to see how relevant it remains. “I’ve thought about how would he feel about this reboot or all this attention he’s getting, and I can tell you that he would be stunned,” Anne Serling told TheWrap. “He didn’t think that his writing would stand the test of time.”
Serling’s original series ran for 156 episodes from 1959 to 1964 and used socially-conscious storytelling to explore the human condition and culture of the times. However, 44 years after Serling’s death, his creation remains as relevant as ever. This is the third attempt at a reboot,...

We've seen this all before, and Rod Serling knew we'd see it again.
“Where will he go next?” Rod Serling says at the close of “He’s Alive,” notably one of the most controversial episodes of The Twilight Zone.
In that particular chapter, which aired in January of 1963, a spectral Adolf Hitler, who is portrayed as a shadowy ghost-like figure, aids the leader of a small and unsuccessful neo-Nazi group named Peter Vollmer. Hitler shows Volmer, who is played by a young Dennis Hopper, how to captivate a vulnerable audience and ultimately convinces Peter to murder an elderly Jewish man who was a father figure to Peter earlier in the episode. This comes after Volmer has also murdered subordinates and learns from the phantom of the Fuhrer how to scapegoat minorities and rile up a crowd into wanting to expunge Jewish and African American elements.

Rod Serling was born on Christmas Day. We look at "Night of the Meek," a holiday offering from the writer/creator of The Twilight Zone...
Rodman Edward Serling (1924-1975), the creator and head writer of the legendary science fiction/fantasy/horror anthology TV series The Twilight Zone, was born in Syracuse, New York (but raised downstate in Binghamton), on Christmas Day.
Though raised Jewish, and, according to his daughter Anne Serling, “fiercely proud of his heritage,” Serling’s wife, Carol, was Unitarian, and her husband came to share her liking for Unitarianism’s “free thinking, the permission to believe what one wants.”
Yet Rod Serling, like a lot of American Jews who suffer from annual Christmas-envy, loved and celebrated the holiday more as a secular/spiritual American holiday (like Thanksgiving), and mostly for what he called “the wondrous magic” of Christmas.
As a writer for radio in the early 1950s in Cincinnati,...
