TVC 668.4: Ed welcomes back Emmy Award-winning writer, producer, director, and author Joseph Dougherty (thirtysomething, Pretty Little Liars, A Screenwriters Companion: Instruction, Opinion, Encouragement). Calendar year 2024 marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of Rod Serling (The Twilight Zone, Rod Serling's Night Gallery). To mark the occasion, Joe's latest book, Rod Serling at 100, takes a deep dive into the legacy of the Emmy Award-winning writer/producer, with a particular focus on Serling as a writer, and what Serling's body of work continues to mean to Joe personally. Rod Serling at 100 is available from Fayetteville Mafia Press. Topics this segment include how Serling was among the first writers that got the general public to take science fiction seriously, and why the parables told on The Twilight Zone remain timeless because human emotions are timeless.
