Twilight Zone, Saturday Cartoons, and Changing TV - Key Conversations with Marc Scott Zicree (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this inaugural Key Conversation episode, we have a special guest: author of The Twilight Zone Companion, which you've heard me mention quite a few times on the show as a staple text for any Twilight Zone fan. We talk about challenges he had to overcome writing The Twilight Zone Companion, his early work writing stories for Saturday morning cartoons like He-Man; The Smurfs; The Real Ghostbusters; and a little-known Saturday morning cartoon that me and my older sister loved, which was likely my

Read excerpt
Spoiler alert: this week we’re analyzing the Twilight Zone episode “The Arrival.” A passenger plane lands safely on the runway. Nothing odd about that. However, this plane is carrying a mystery.

He hasn’t been beaten on a case yet. But, even Sheckly finds himself at a bit of a loss, along with a naggin
