He created stories that people have been talking about for 60 plus years and will continue to be talked about.

A genius writer who could entertain you and make you think at the same time.

Didn’t he say being a Hollywood writer was very stressful they keep wanting more than you can produce?.

No wonder he smoked that or booze or pills a Hollywood trade mark.

You are assuming the younger generation will be able to comprehend human, enduring mysteries and questions, fears, and needs. And assuming they can talk... doesn’t look too promising ..and Twilight Zone was not in color.

Still in the tippy, tippy top echelon of writing. Amazing stuff. One of my favorite characters is the CHANCELLOR in OBSOLETE MAN.Total bombastic,arrogant, disgusting deep stater. Fritz Weaver was excellent in that role.

We recently watched all the episodes of the Twilight Zone. The first 2 seasons were the best,imo. Such stories with good lessons. He wanted to fight Hitler but was deployed to the pacific. So many episodes involving military characters. His writing no doubt helped him with his ptsd, as did cigarettes. He was a genius writer and host for his series.

I don’t know anything about Rod Serling concerning what he believed about God, but its always been clear to me that he had a strong ‘eyes wide open’ and ‘ears to hear’ spiritual component to his storytelling and writing.

His otherworldly observations are far too on-the-mark accurate even if just to be conjecturing ideas for sci-fi stories,
