\"Twilight<\/a>It starts tomorrow<\/a> morning.<\/span><\/p>\n

One could argue, however, that beyond a Fourth of July staple, \u201cThe Twilight Zone\u201c<\/em> is as red, white and blue as the annual BBQ and parades, and this is why: The show, which ran for just five seasons from 1960-1964, is, at the very least, a reflection of our nation and people at a crossroads, between a World War and a New Frontier, the conformist 1950s and a counterculture waiting to explode, the comfort of peacetime and the fear of an atomic age. It\u2019s both a history of our mid-20th century culture, and an X-Ray of humanity.<\/span><\/p>\n
