"Most writers, you go up to them and say you've got an idea, they reply, 'You do the acting, kid, and we'll do the writing.' Not Rod. You go up to him with a suggestion, he gets the pencil out and starts writing." — Earl Holliman, star of Twilight Zone's "Where is Everybody?"

Another year on Twitter. Today marks my 11th anniversary! It all started on September 13, 2010. I created this page to fan over Night Gallery, but it soon became a tribute to all things Serling. It's been so gratifying to see it grow since then. Glad you're all here!
