The Twilight Zone's One Hour Episodes:
Is Longer Better?
Class Platform: Paradise Campus
Day/Time: Thursday, 9 - 10:45 AM, February 4 - April 15, *10 week class*
Class Description: In 1963 the Twilight Zone’s fourth season changed to a one-hour show for its 18 episodes. The new format offered twice the story and a chance to explore ideas in more depth. But was it a change for the better? The experiment lasted only one season before reverting back to a 30-minute time slot. We will watch a selection of the one hour episodes and discuss the stars, and story lines, and why the writers and producers extended the show’s length.
