Overview

The Twilight Zone Companion is the complete, five season (1959-64) show-by-show guide to one of television's greatest series. Zicree's well-written account is fascinating reading for even the casual fan. Coverage of each episode includes plot synopsis, Rod Serling's opening narration, behind-the-scenes stories from the original artists who created the series, and a complete list of cast and credits. In all my years of television viewing, no series resonated as deeply as The Twilight Zone. Even today, fragments of the forgotten episodes rise into my memory with surprising poignancy. The Twilight Zone was masterful storytelling, and this companion book, this compendium of old tales, is a remarkable gift to those who loved the series and to those who have yet to discover its magic.-Bruce Joel Rubin, screenwriter, Ghost, Jacob's Ladder

In all my years of television viewing, no series resonated as deeply as The Twilight Zone. Even today, fragments of the forgotten episodes rise into my memory with surprising poignancy. The Twilight Zone was masterful storytelling, and this companion book, this compendium of old tales, is a remarkable gift to those who loved the series and to those who have yet to discover its magic. -- Bruce Joel Rubin, screenwriter, Ghost, Jacob's Ladder The Twilight Zone is ingrained in our collective conscious like no other TV show...Essential for all Zone fans--and who isn't one? -- Library Journal The Twilight Zone Companion is the complete, five season (1959-64) show-by-show guide to one of television's greatest series. Zicree's well-written account is fascinating reading for even the casual fan. Coverage of each episode includes plot synopsis, Rod Serling's opening narration, behind-the-scenes stories from the original artists who created the series, and a complete list of cast and credits. -- SSFaudio.com A captivating look at possibly the best TV series of all time. -- Leonard Maltin In all ways, an admirable and engrossing volume. -- Publishers Weekly The Twilight Zone Companion is one of the finest examinations of a television series. Author Marc Scott Zicree spent five years researching and writing what is without a doubt the definitive look at this classic horror-fantasy-science fiction show. Not only is the book an exhaustive episode-by-episode guide, but the author apparently interviewed every living soul who was ever associated with the show. It's quite likely that creator Rod Serling, who died before the book saw publication in 1982, would have been suitably impressed by the respect and dedication that clearly went into this labor of love. -- Amazon.com editorial review This audiobook is for everyone who ever loved Twilight Zone...one genius' clear vision of why we are so intrigued by the unexplainable forces around us and by the show that made them seem approachable. Though he narrates mostly in his own voice, veteran audio performer Tom Weiner actually becomes Rod Serling by the end of this audiobook, sounding more and more like him with each new lead in and fade out. Not all of the televised episodes made it into syndication, so your favorites are here, then some. The audiobook concludes with an interview with Burgess Meredith, who was unforgettable as Henry Beamis in the much-loved 'Time Enough at Last.' A bonus disk has pictures from many of the productions. -- SoundCommentary.com (starred review)
