Most conversations about Rod Serling focus on Serling as an icon — an entity, if you will — not only because of his work as the writer, creator and/or producer of The Twilight Zone, Patterns, Requiem for a Heavyweight, Night Gallery, and other TV productions, but also because he was one of the few writers who regularly appeared on television. Rarely do we think of Rod Serling as a person: a real live, flesh and blood human being who played on the floor with his dogs, had nicknames for everyone in the family, liked to watch The Flintstones, and had a laugh that was as infectious as his zest for life itself.
That image of Serling is the one evoked by his daughter Anne Serling in As I Knew Him: My Dad, Rod Serling, an intimate portrait of the Emmy Award-winning television pioneer that is also a moving testament to the love between fathers and daughters. Very close to her father, Anne was devastated by his death in 1975. But eventually she overcame her grief, partially with the help of The Twilight Zone. We will discuss this, and more, when Anne Serling joins us in first hour.
Also joining us this week will be pop culture commentator and entertainment journalist Jennifer Armstrong. Jennifer’s latest book, Mary and Lou and Rhoda and Ted, is the story of the people who gave us The Mary Tyler Moore Show, one of the most beloved and admired television series of all time, and a show whose influence can still be seen today in such shows as 30 Rock, Grey’s Anatomy, Parks and Recreation, 2 Broke Girls, and HBO’s Girls.
The Mary Tyler Moore Show revived Mary Tyler Moore’s career while also helping to pave the way for the modern TV sitcom. But it also made unlikely stars out of several journeymen actors, changed the fates of a dozen female TV writers, helped usher in a more woman-friendly era in the television industry, and famously killed a clown. Yet before any of that became possible, The Mary Tyler Moore Show faced a number of obstacles (mostly from the decision-makers at CBS) just to get on the air. We’ll talk about how the show overcame these hurdles when Jennifer Armstrong joins us in our second hour.Plus: Phil Gries with Part 3 of the Sounds of Lost Television tribute to New York Mets announcer Ralph Kiner, featuring highlights from two historic moments from the inaugural year of baseball at Shea Stadium, 1964.
