Would it be an overstatement to describe the late Rod Serling as a “visionary” ?

Not at all. He was undeniably brilliant. There's a reason why his series, [i]The Twilight Zone[/i], continues to resonate with people nearly 60 years after its initial run came to an end. I think it might be the greatest TV show of all time.

No,that would be a fair description - I enjoyed the series when when I first saw it in the '60s.I remember one episode in particular that had my brother and I sitting in the edge of our chairs - "The 30-Fathom Grave".There was another series I also liked,"One Step Beyond" - which slightly pre-dated "The Twilight Zone".

[@1204214,DocSavage] I remember "I Sing The Body Electric," and had really never heard of Ray Bradbury until recently. He has a TV show on now, it's the first time I've seen it this year.

Ray Bradbury was one of the great Sci-fi writers of the time. You can find “The Ray Bradbury Theater “ on Roku, and a few other streaming channels. Highly recommend.
You might know him for some of the book/movie based on his work : Fahrenheit 451,
The Martian Chronicles, Something Wicked This Way Comes , The Beast From 20,000 Fantoms, The Illustrated Man.
Also, there are four, or five episodes of the Alfred Hitchcock show based on his short stories.

[@1204214,DocSavage] I get him on "Comet" now that I bought an antenna that gets extra channels.

[@1204214,DocSavage] I’m very familiar, with Oscar Beregi and Joseph Schildkraut.
But that épisode deals with Nazis and the camps.
"He’s Alive !" is one of the hour episodes, dealing with Neo-Nazis and how the hatred takes hold in a community.

No. He hosted what us undeniably the greatest tv show ever made. It never gets old.

[@698333,graphite] I never saw that remake. The novel was very intellectual, and it got into discussions about the nature of intelligence and the behavior of a species, that probably would be too wordy to put into a movie.

[@338282,DrWatson] In the 2001 remake, the astronaut goes back to find that the Tim Roth ape character, Thade, a villain in the movie, is now revered as a leader of their civilization; there are statues of him.

I think a lot of the great sci-fi minds were primarily students of human behavior who understood the psychology of society and using history as a guide, projected and extrapolated logical outcomes of certain observable phenomenon and developing trends in technology and governance over long periods of time, among other things.

[@1181110,fernie2] "Little Girl Lost". Yes ! One of my favorite character actors from back then, Charles Aidman, starred in that one.

I like the episodes, but after reading the original script, there were a few flaws that didn’t fit the story.
Any society, no matter how totalitarian, would still have a need for a librarian. They would have to keep records, files, etc. someone to keep things organized.
In the first draft of the script. After being considered “obsolete” the chancellor accepts his fate , and calmly awaits his death. Serling was a good writer, but he occasionally went out of character.
