Episode 1: The Twilight Zone

The pilot episode of Pilot Study starts us off in classic territory. The Twilight Zone, the legendary anthology series created by Rod Serling, premiered on October 2nd, 1959 on CBS. Being an anthology series, it avoids the pitfalls of traditional pilot (aka clunky) character setup, allowing us to dive right into the story of Earl Holliman's "Last Man On Earth" portrayal of Mike Ferris. Stay for talk on post WWII America and what exactly the pursuit of progress can mean for individuals caught in the crossfire. The episode, titled "Where Is Everybody," was written by Serling.
