A very baffling TWILIGHT ZONE Day to you and yours!

Why is today Twilight Zone Day? Well, nobody really knows. The show didn't start or finish its run on May 11th, it's not the day that Rod Serling was born or died. Nobody even knows how the holiday got started, or who created it. It's a rather weird mystery... Which is entirely appropriate, really.

To celebrate this most baffling of holidays, here's a Rod Serling blooper clip. It's really strange to see Serling goofing around like this. I always kind of imagine him waking up in the morning wearing that suit, and sitting down at the breakfast table with a cigarette as he makes clipped but incisive commentary about the dark nature of man.



The folks at CBS have been nice enough to post a number of episodes of this classic series for free online, so now's your chance to return to the land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas.
