“””””I as an adult find the original “Twilight Zone”
to be leaning more towards the conservative side. “”””””
We see that a lot, the more people are moved left the more their perception changes of past TV, movies, politicians, and books as being less liberal than they were, forgetting that to be successful the left had to make it subtle enough for the time period when they were trying to sell it to the public. To work, entertainment used to have to gently feed the themes, ideas, and new sensitivities to the audience
People trying to turn JFK into a conservative fall for that.
When the Twilight Zone first came out, I was too young to comprehend (I was only 4) anything on tv, although I do have a memory of seeing Eisenhower giving a speech. Plus I don’t think my Dad was a Twilight Zone fan, he was more of a Gunsmoke, Have Gun Will Travel, and Wyatt Earp kinda guy.
My perception of Twilight Zone now, at least the episodes that can be perceived as having a “political” bent to them, is that they were more anti-government than pro. Otherwise, I just enjoy them for the inventiveness that went into creating them. I don’t care who wrote what episode.
An old man dies and he walks down a road with his dog, at a gate is man whom he mistakes for Saint Peter, when he realizes that he is dead. He is about to go through the gate, with his trusty dog, but is told that NO DOGS are allowed in. So he says that that is NOT Heaven and walks on. He then comes to another gate, with another man standing there ( this time it IS Saint Peter ), who tells him that "of course dogs are allowed in Heaven" and that his wife will soon be there to be with him.
Is that "WOKE"/"LEFTY"/"anti-Christian" to YOU?
