- Rod Serling (December 25, 1924 - June 28, 1975) was an American screenwriter, playwright, television producer and narrator. He was best known as the creator of the science fiction series The Twilight Zone. In 2269, the series' introduction featuring Serling "intoning dourly against a background of flickering stars" was an image which Spock saw in the mind of Roberta Lincoln immediately before severing their mind meld. (TOS novel: Assignment: Eternity) In 2375, Constable Odo claimed that Rod Serling (Rodserl) sounded like a Romulan name. (DS9 - Millennium novel: Inferno)
- Himself/ Host
- Serling grew up in a small, quaint town, the kind that promises a good man every good thing. He spent his hours poring over his collection of books. Books which on the surface seem normal, inconsequential. But on this misty night somewhere on the eastern seaboard, he would find himself deeply mired in a story from which he could not escape, no matter how he tried. A simple pair of glasses, forgotten on a nightstand. For most men, a problem easily solved. But for Serling, it is the beginning of a nightmare that might never end.
- Serling was born in Syracuse, New York, the second of two sons of Esther Serling (née Cooper) and Samuel Lawrence Serling. His brother, Robert J. Serling, (also a writer) became a novelist. Serling was raised in Binghamton, NY, but his family also had a summer home on Cayuga Lake, in New York's Finger Lakes region. This would later inspire the name "Cayuga Productions" for use on The Twilight Zone productions.

- Rod Serling (December 25, 1924 - June 28, 1975) was an American screenwriter, playwright, television producer and narrator. He was best known as the creator of the science fiction series The Twilight Zone. In 2269, the series' introduction featuring Serling "intoning dourly against a background of flickering stars" was an image which Spock saw in the mind of Roberta Lincoln immediately before severing their mind meld. (TOS novel: Assignment: Eternity) In 2375, Constable Odo claimed that Rod Serling (Rodserl) sounded like a Romulan name. (DS9 - Millennium novel: Inferno)
- Himself/ Host
- Serling was born in Syracuse, New York, the second of two sons of Esther Serling (née Cooper) and Samuel Lawrence Serling. His brother, Robert J. Serling, (also a writer) became a novelist. Serling was raised in Binghamton, NY, but his family also had a summer home on Cayuga Lake, in New York's Finger Lakes region. This would later inspire the name "Cayuga Productions" for use on The Twilight Zone productions. Though brought up in a Jewish family, Serling's family infrequently attended synagogue except during High Holy days and Rod viewed Judaism more as an ethnic foundation rather than an overtly religious one. Rod and his brother, Robert, attended Sunday School at the local Jewish community center under the leadership of The Friedlanders, both philosophical humanists. He expressed a great fondness for anthology short stories and comic books, movies of fantasy and science-fiction. He would even act them out in front of everybody, like a performer. This would later prove prophetic in his future. Rod Serling attended high school at Binghamton Central High School. During these years, Rod began to express his interest in writing and he eventually became editor of the high school newspaper. Unfortunately, this would also be a time when Serling would have his initial experience with anti-Semitism, when he was refused enrollment in the Theta Sigma fraternity. Regarding this, he remarked in a 1972 interview, "it was the first time in my life that I became aware of religious difference." He excelled athletically in sports such as tennis and ping-pong. He attempted to join the football team, but being a mere 5'4", he wasn't picked. He attempted to major involved in physical education or sports in some way, but after winning an award for something he wrote--he switched primarily creative writing.
- Serling grew up in a small, quaint town, the kind that promises a good man every good thing. He spent his hours poring over his collection of books. Books which on the surface seem normal, inconsequential. But on this misty night somewhere on the eastern seaboard, he would find himself deeply mired in a story from which he could not escape, no matter how he tried. A simple pair of glasses, forgotten on a nightstand. For most men, a problem easily solved. But for Serling, it is the beginning of a nightmare that might never end.
