Many fans of The Twilight Zone rightfully acknowledge the immense impact of Rod Serling on the series. Apart from being the creative force behind numerous classic episodes, Serling also took on the role of host when his initial choice was unavailable. His influence on The Twilight Zone is undeniable, and subsequent iterations have struggled to capture the same magic.
