In my opinion, one of the top series of this genre ever produced for television, the original TZ aired from 1959 to 1964. Rod Serling invited viewers to submit a script. He was flooded with over 14,000, and actually got around to reading 500 of them, but only two were any good, and he couldn't use them because they didn't fit with the format of the show. CBS originally wanted Orson Welles as the narrator/host, but the producers felt that he asked for too much money. I just can't imagine anyone but Rod Serling narrating this series, it was his baby from the start. He made up the phrase 'Fifth Dimension' to use in one season's opening narration, stating that he wanted to go one beyond the four known dimensions. A reporter once asked him what the fourth dimension was, (given the first three are length, width, and height). Serling supposedly answered, 'I don't know. Aren't there four?' Hey, if he thought so, that would have been good enough for me!

Survivors of the appalling First World War Battle of Passchendaele gather at the site 70 years later in 1987. (For my money, the First World War was the most dreadful conflict in human history. Imagine, a battle to gain five muddy miles that cost 250,000 casualties!) Sixteen thousand Canadians were among the killed or wounded.

Once we were proud nation.. there was nothing we couldn't do, or accomplish.
There was noting that we couldn't manufacture for ourselves. This was the American Spirit. It was what made this country the envy of every nation in the world.
Now, as one TV commentator put it, "We have become suicidally arrogant ... we have the attitude that there isn't anything anyone won't sell us."
It has been argued that "America holds no resemblance to the once great nation for which our forebears fought and died. Given the rapidity with which America has forsaken its heritage, can you imagine what it will look like 50 years from now?" - Chuck Baldwin
Once can only wonder. But, Once Upon A Time In America, it was truly a great and promising place to be.

Citadels of Despair
"Where does one go from a world of insanity? Somewhere on the other side of despair."
- T S Eliot
People in the world can never imagine the length of days to those in asylums. They seemed never ending, and we welcomed any event that might give us something to think about as well as talk of.
- Nellie Bly

From 1958, Paul Newman appears as a mystery challenger on What's My Line and stumps the panel. (It's difficult to imagine Newman being better known as a stage actor than a film actor even then!)

You probably remember JibJab.com for their political cartoons like Time for Some Campaignin' and This Land, they even appeared on the Tonight Show. They had a great community of members and they would share funny pictures and videos; many a great friendship was made there as indicated by this member made video dedicated to the members. Can you imagine if that was us? The owners of Jib Jab have decided to pursue a different market. This site had millions of unique views a month, imagine if 10% of the clicked on the ads, I doubt they would they be closing this part of their site. Please help keep our community alive by click on the ads. If you buy from Amazon.com please enter through the banner to the right. It isn't easy running a site! If you like a site, visit their ads, its what pays the bills.

Marty will enjoy this clip! Gordie Howe, one of hockey's all-time greats, is a mystery challenger on the syndicated version of What's My Line. This would have been from late 1972, I imagine, when Gordie came out of retirement at age 44 to play with his two sons for the Houston Aeros of the World Hockey Association. Howe played until age 52.

This impromptu photo shows Lou Gehrig, Tris Speaker, Ty Cobb, and Babe Ruth before a New York Yankees-Philadelphia Athletics game in 1928. The photo may have been taken on Opening Day; the heavy jackets worn by Gehrig and Ruth suggest a cool temperature. Not a bad core of players to start a team, I'd say! (Imagine what their salaries would be today!) The A's gave the Yankees a darn good run for the AL pennant in 1928 but came up just a bit short, winning 98 games and finishing in second spot just 2.5 games out of first place. The Yankees took 16 of 22 games versus the A's in 1928. Speaker and Cobb were both winding down their spectacular careers that season. Some baseball scholars believe their advancing ages--they were both in their forties--may have been a hindrance to the A's. Speaker could no longer play center field effectively. He was used mostly as a pinch hitter by the middle of July and appeared in no games at all after August. The Athletics' younger stars (fellows like Al Simmons, Mickey Cochrane, and Lefty Grove) led them to three straight AL pennants from 1929 through 1931.
