New York City 'Twilight Zone' 50th Anniversary Event

This Friday marks the 50th anniversary of one of the greatest shows in the history of television, certainly the program furthest ahead of its own time. And as The Twilight Zone rings in the big five-oh, there are events planned to commemorate the big day and to remember one of the most significant moments in television and science fiction, if not 20th century popular culture. We've already written about the happenings this weekend at Ithaca College in New York, where series creator Rod Serling taught in his later years and where a massive amount of his work during his most fertile period is collected. Also taking place over the weekend is The Twilight Zone Forever, hosted by scholar and "Twilight Zone geek" Arlen Schumer at The Times Center in New York City. So if you're in New York this Friday, it all starts at 7:30. It's being described as a multimedia visualecture by Mr. Schumer, and will feature screenings of two of the series' seminal installment, Eye of the Beholder and Where is Everybody?, which was Twilight Zone's pilot episode. Check out Schumer's website to read a lot more about Serling's legacy and you'll get a feel of what the event will be like. And here, in case you've never seen it, is Eye of the Beholder.
