This week in class, we learned about Rod Serling and the whole twilight zone. He was a very successful man and i had no idea who he was till i watched this video and realized how much he influenced us and how he made us have what we have today. He was really smart and his friends always thought he was crazy but he believed in himself and had confidence in him so he had his sights set pretty high. His wife would talk about how he was traumatized from the war and like most men were. Some of his best writings came from the pain from the war and his mental suffering from the war too. The emotion he poured out was raw and very different from others. Being able to write those things and see them was a great way for him to get it off his chest and to express his self.

Serling was well known for his ability to expose the potential for evil amongest humanity in his writing. Serling would also question his work and would never think his work would be the best and never have worth so you would see him question himself. He had this pressure to make his work great and he did a great job because The Twilight Zone became famous and was a hit.

The 1970s had alot of hits during this decade. It had shows like Happy Days, The brady bunch, Good times, The Jefferson etc. During this time, people were still trying to accept African Americans and there was a lot of tension as to why they were on TV. I feel like the main focus was to get rid of this controversy and to focus on making an difference and to show people that different times are coming.
