    The aired pilot was Where Is Everybody. That's true.

    The Time Element was intended to be the pilot, but the project never got off the ground.

    It probably had to do with either the sponsors or CBS.

    So Serling ended up going with Where Is Everybody.

  • Twilight Zone Is So Deep , Rod Sterling Is A Genius . R.I.P

  • @backbaconnbeer Christ, I'd like to hear that explanation!

  • Don't go back in time and get killed.  Go forward in time and drop dead.

  • I hate going back in time and being strafed by Japanese airplanes.

  • Rod Serling & Desi Arnaz fought the networks and sponsors to get this episode on. The TVLAND copy was edited and after the story finished Desi came out and offered an explanation on what happened (the network/sponsor insisted on it) and asked the audience if they had an explantion when this originally aired. I'm glad TVLAND didn't use it.

  • The really cool thing about this episode - besides that fact that it

    was an incredible story for it's time - and even for today - is that it

    got everyone who posted here thinking about time travel and it's

    implications! This is exactly what Rod Serling wanted - to make

    people think! :)

  • The final narration was really great! "It's October 7, 1958, at 12:10PM, if anyone is interested! The end!"

  • Hey, that's Al Gore sitting at the bar at 3:00!

  • @thechaz83 Car 54 Where Are You! IMO TV Land was never as good as the original Nick at Night.

  • Has anyone else noticed that the special effects are really fantastic in this episode? Those planes flying toward him through the window are flawless.

  • Bendix was a much better actor than I ever gave him credit for. He's very good here in this excellent pilot. All the elements that made Twilight Zone a classic are here: Intriguing story, great actors and wonderful music.
