A new "Twilight Zone" could be coming to TV, thanks to "X-Men" director Bryan Singer. According to EW, Singer and CBS TV Studios are in early development stages to bring "The Twilight Zone" back to TV.
Singer -- who directed NBC's "Mockingbird Lane," which was the network's attempt to reboot "The Munsters" -- is attached to executive produce the project. There are no writers or network or attached to the series.
"The Twilight Zone" first aired from 1959-64 on CBS. The Rod Sterling anthology series featured a variety of famous actors very early on in their careers, like Leonard Nimoy and Robert Redford. The series focused on strange and unusual events and often had a moralistic ending. It was revived for three seasons that ran between 1985-89. A third revival launched in 2002 on UPN with Forest Whitaker as the host. It lasted one season.
Reboots are all over TV these days. Besides NBC's "Mockingbird Lane," the network is also working on a remake of "Ironside." On CBS, "Hawaii Five-0" has been a success and Vince Vaughn is behind a modern-day "Brady Bunch" sitcom. TNT brought "Dallas" back to life with many of the original stars, including the late Larry Hagman, and found ratings success.

Ha Ha Ha bitch. Over Rod Sterling's dead body. Don't blame me if Rod comes to haunt you in your dreams.....seriously though, why? This is not necessary.

Netflix works too.

Creeped me OUT as a child.
My faves are The Shelter, The Invaders, and 4 o'clock
A little too much, whoop.
"Time Enough at Last" is really overrated and boring on rewatches.
It's A Good Life
The Invaders
Nightmare At 20,000 Feet
Probe 7 Over and Out
Time Enough At Last (shhh.... this one is close to my heart)
Eye of the Beholder
The Masks
A Stop At Willoughby
Five Characters
But I'm a TZ freak, and my whole family are fans as well. There are a lot of episodes I enjoy.
