Those of a certain age will remember this as a truly ground breaking TV series. NPR's "On the Media" has a nice segment on the show and it's creator. Thought some of you would enjoy this.

Old Rod was quite the creative genius.
I wonder what kind of nightmares he had???

"How To Serve Man" gave me the shivers for many nights.:eek:

The Si-Fi channel had a Twilight Zone marathon a few weeks ago. "To Serve Man" was one of the ones I saw. After all these years they are still great shows.
The Outer Limits was another good show, but I haven't seen it in a long time. I guess nobody is showing reruns of it.

There were so many good ones, "To Serve Man" among them. Other favorites that come to mind were the one about the Christmas toys is the donation barrel, the child that rolled off the bed through the wall into another dimension (the portal was closing as they tried to get her out), and the two children of arguing parents who dived into the swimming pool and came up in a pond amongst other children who had been "adopted" by a kind older lady. sorry, can't recall the episode names.
