The Twilight Zone is an American television anthology series created (and often written) by its narrator and host Rod Serling. Each episode (156 in the original series) is a mixture of self-contained fantasy, science fiction, or horror , often concluding with a macabre or unexpected twist.
The program followed in the tradition of earlier radio programs such as The Weird Circle and X Minus One and the radio work of Serling’s hero, dramatist Norman Corwin.
A popular and critical success, it introduced many Americans to serious science fiction and abstract ideas through television and also through a wide variety of Twilight Zone literature.
The success of this original series led to the creation of two revival series (a cult hit series that ran for several seasons on CBS and in syndication in the 1980s, and a short-lived UPN series that ran early in the new millennium), a feature film, a radio series, a comic book, a magazine and various other spinoffs that would span five decades.
Writers for The Twilight Zone included leading genre authorities such as Charles Beaumont, Richard Matheson, Jerry Sohl, George Clayton Johnson, Earl Hamner, Jr., Reginald Rose, Harlan Ellison and Ray Bradbury. Many episodes also featured adaptations of classic stories by such writers as Ambrose Bierce, Lewis Padgett, Jerome Bixby and Damon Knight.

From the Live Anthology Album
From the John Lennon Anthology Album, CD 3
“Missing You” is from the 2007 compilation/anthology album “A Hundred Miles Or More: A Collection” by multi-Grammy winning singer and fiddler Alison Krauss. The album is a collection of new and previously recorded material and features Krauss in duets with artists including Brad Paisley, Jon Waite and James Taylor in addition to the AKUS team. Although another very successful and enjoyable release from Krauss, the album lacks a certain direction or cohesiveness, being rather, as it is, a collection of material which mimics her earlier outstanding album “Now That I Found You: A Collection”, her very best album in my opinion. The album reached number 10 on Billboard’s 200 chart, a very respectable showing, although not producing a top twenty hit.
