Why Rod Serling Only Adapted One Ray Bradbury Story For The Twilight Zone
Ray Bradbury was supposed to be a big part of The Twilight Zone. So why did Rod Serling reject his first couple of scripts - and what did Bradbury think of it?
Rod Serling, creator of The Twilight Zone, relied on other writers, including sci-fi legend Ray Bradbury, for the series. However, only one Bradbury story, "I Sing The Body Electric," was adapted for the show. Serling believed Bradbury's writing didn't translate well to television. The author felt Serling was plagiarizing him and had a strained relationship with the creator. Bradbury even suspected Serling of unconsciously stealing ideas from his stories.
