In 1959 Rod Serling’s TV series, “The Twilight Zone,” made its debut on CBS. Though not a major success at the time, the show that served up horror and science fiction stories as winking tales of contemporary society has taken on legendary status, influencing films and TV ever since. David Pogue looks at how Serling crafted a TV classic with New York Times television critic James Poniewozik, and talks with the writer’s daughter, Jodi Serling, about the influence that his hometown, Binghamton, N.Y., had on Serling’s allegorical tales.
