Don’t be too hard on Ithaca. Both my kids graduated from Cornell and they both are Conservatives.
The CU students are often to the right of the wackjob professors....just ask Ann Coulter
I’m from the Finger Lakes area so I know Ithaca well.
That episode always scared the bejeebers out of me when I was but a kid. The curtain scene still does. It probably accounts for some of my long held fear of flying. LOL!
Rod Serling’s mind was a vast swirling sea of epic and historical proportions. His LIVE on Camera original Theater things were the stuff of sheer genius and madness. “Hey Lets do it live on TV”. My personal T.Z. Favorites are “It’s A Good Life” with Anthony Fremont playing Hillary Clinton’s part (as she would be if she ever becomes President of the USA) and “And When The Sky Was Opened” which has Rod Taylor playing the “This cannot be happening to me/losing your mind” part ever so perfectly. Thank God I got to live in a world where this man made me think about things; talk about getting perspective on things as a young child. LOLOL Everybody and their Grandma was on his shows, from Jack Klugman and Cloris Leachman to Paul Newman and Charles Bronson. Hell, even Bill Shatner was on there. I don’t believe there was ever an episode that didn’t make go “Ohhhhhhhh....” at some point or another. Another Favorite, was the old woman whose phone keeps ringing at night while she’s in bed, and all she can hear is moaning, horrible moaning and the phone company eventually drive to her husbands burial plot with her and the winds had blown the other end of the telephone line so that it lay on top of it. THAT was a Classic. God Bless Rod Serling, A Real Man!
There's a school in Binghamton that folks used to call “Rod Serling High.” It was nice to be reminded that a local guy could make the big time.
Big Giant Head: It was a horrible flight! There was a man on the wing of the plane!
Dick Solomon: The same thing happened to me!
Another one of my past favorite shows. Never fails to make me laugh. Love to watch them on DVD.
Actually Serling graduated from Binghamton Central High School in Binghamton New York...but hey Ithaca can claim him if they want to!
Hahhhh hahhh....
Thought I met Jimmy Hoffa one time, living in a certain house on 434 in Apalachin,NY!
LOL!
**Ithica may be the City of Evil ...
but it’s just one more stop ... in the Twilight Zone**
Actually, Ithaca IS THE TWILIGHT ZONE. Even Rod Serling could not think THIS PLACE UP!!
**Actually Serling graduated from Binghamton Central High School **
According to my sister’s Mother in Law (who went to school with Serling):
Serling was failing English Class. Upon receipt of Report Card acknowledging the failure, word has it, he broke in to English Teacher’s Home, and hung a Skeleton in her closet.
Cornell Professors make Lenin look like a RIGHTWINGER.
