Rod Serling will forever be celebrated as the man behind The Twilight Zone, but the iconic sci-fi wasn't his only success with chilling anthologies.

After The Twilight Zone, Rod Serling had a disastrous experience working on his next project, Night Gallery (https://www.metv.com/stories/after-the-twilight-zone-rod-serling-had-a-disastrous-experience-working-on-his-next-project-night-gallery)

How Serling's new project became "Mannix in a cemetery."

Rod Serling once argued that he had hit a wall in his writing career (https://www.metv.com/stories/at-44-rod-serling-argued-that-he-had-hit-a-wall-in-his-writing-career)

"I don't mind saying that I haven't turned out a stellar writing performance in the last seven years," said Serling.

This is sad to read. I am such a fan of Night Gallery and think the first 2 seasons are better than the Twilight Zone. I just got my DVDs and some of the episodes I have not seen before. Rod was a genius and he wrote most of the first season or two. By season 3 they chopped the series to 30 minutes and moved less about horror. I could be wrong but I believe the entire syndicated series was chopped up to be 30 minutes. But the full first 2 seasons were an hour. The pilot which aired a few months before the show started was 90s minutes. Such a talent Rod was.
