May Every Day is a series of daily blog posts for May 2021 sharing days and weeks that we celebrate or observe. Some of these days are well-known holidays while others are more obscure observances, some are celebrated internationally while others are more nationally focused, some are significant while others are just plain FUN!
When I hear this introduction coming from the TV (or laptop or iPad), I know immediately what Robbie's watching:
The Twilight Zone first aired in 1959 and many of the original episodes can still be viewed on TV, Prime Video, Netflix, etc. These shows are a unique combination of sci-fi, mystery, horror, comedy, and superstition. It's completely bizarre at times, but the old black and white thought-provoking shows stand up to the test of time.
Two of Robbie's favorite episodes are Time Enough at Last (the story of a bank clerk who loves to read but can never find the time, until he is left completely alone after an H-bomb attack) and It's a Good Life (starring Bill Mumy who also played Will Robinson on Robbie's all-time favorite TV show, Lost in Space). This show is definitely not for the faint-of-heart, but if you're willing to travel into the bizarre and horrifying dimension known as The Twilight Zone, here's a scene from It's a Good Life where 6-year-old Anthony controls everything. (If you're reading this on email, you may need to click over to the blog to view this video.)
We'll be watching a few episodes of The Twilight Zone on Netflix this evening. How about you? Will you be entering The Twilight Zone today?
