The Twilight Zone

Season 5

The dimension of imagination comes to an end in Twilight Zone’s fifth season. The show returns to its half-hour format and Serling gets a little more involved. And as a result, several classic episodes come out of this season; such as “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet,” “Living Doll,” “The 7th is Made Up of Phantoms,” “Number 12 Looks Just Like You,” “The Masks,” and “Mr. Garrity and the Graves.” Also, the list of guest stars is pretty strong and includes Jack Klugman, Mickey Rooney, Telly Savalas, Jackie Cooper, Ed Wynn, and Robbie the Robot. Still, the show kind of loses its way, as its sense of irony and moral comeuppance isn’t always clear. Season 5 of Twilight Zone is a return to form, but it doesn’t quite recapture the mystique of earlier seasons.
