" The Twilight Zone " was created by Rod Serling and ran on CBS from 1959 though 1964 . Using the framework of science fiction and fantasy , Serling hosted every episode himself , telling speculative stories that explored the Human condition and topics too sensitive for open public discourse . It won three Emmy Awards as well as three Hugo Awards . The series was important for " Star Trek " in several ways . Many actors got their start with the series , demonstrating their ability to work in the science fiction genre . Also , four of the writers and directors were contributors to the series .

" " ( " " ) On another occasion , Serling gave a positive opinion on the show , stating " " The day " Star Trek " was cancelled , I could have cut off heads at the network . It was a marvelous show . " " ( " Starlog " 2 . ( August , 1976 ) , p . 15 ) Additionally , several TOS episodes bear a strong resemblance to earlier " Twilight Zone " episodes :
