One of the most respected series in television history is Rod Serling’s “The Twilight Zone.” And while many TV fans think of the series as sci-fi, its creator Rod Serling would disagree.
In a recently discovered interview that is showing on YouTube, Serling says he wasn’t able to make science-fiction.
“‘Cause, see, I love science fiction, but I’m an aficionado, not a contributor, and I say this, you know, with no stupid, dumb, dumb humility at all. I’m am purely a Johnny-come-lately. I am perhaps the least scientifically knowledgeable man in the whole writing group, and I bow with great deference and respect to the real masters, you know, Asimov and Bob Heinlein and Sturgeon and all the rest of them. And these, of course, and yourself included, because you write pure science fiction. I can adapt science fiction I think quite adequately, but I can’t create it on an original level.” he says.
