It wasn’t until years after that I actually listened to what Rod Serling said and realized this guy was real...not the normal fake TV schtick. The beginnings of Night Gallery, are, by far, the most bizarre thing you will ever see on TV IMO!
When he was discharged in 1946, the boxing paratrooper (11th Airborne) Rod Serling had earned the Purple Heart, Bronze Star, and Philippine Liberation Medal.
