★★★★★ · Classic Serling at his misanthropic best · danielps2fan · 2010-07-08

This is definately a slice of TV heaven. Rod Serling was a pioneer of cutting edge TV famous for creating The Twilight Zone. His reputation as a the angry young man of Hollywood is finely illustrated in this probing interview by the great Mike Wallace. He discusses censorship and and his belief that the medium of television has the power to inspire and provoke. Broadcast in 1959 prior to showing of the first Twilight Zone episode
