ROD, WHITE AND BLUE: A TWILIGHT ZONE MARATHON
Decades, 12:00 p.m. ET
The Decades channel may have given this Independence Day marathon of Twilight Zone episodes a terrible name (Really? Rod, White and Blue? Even I blanch at that one.) However, the selection of episodes is beyond criticism. Just look at the first three entries in this mini-marathon, which begins at noon ET. First up is 1959’s “Time Enough At Last,” starring Burgess Meredith as a man in urgent need of a post-apocalyptic Lenscrafters. Then comes 1960’s “The Hitchhikers,” starring Inger Stevens as a woman on a particularly harrowing road trip. And then, from 1963, there’s “The Living Doll,” in which Terry Savalas (pictured) plays a father freaked out by his daughter’s talking doll – whose creepy voice, by the way, is provided by June Foray, the voice of Rocky the flying squirrel in the Rocky and Bullwinkle adventures.
