Science Fiction has had a prolific run on television. I bet some of your favorite shows have elements of Sci-Fi in them whether you know it or not. Westworld, The Mandalorian, and Stranger Things are just a few of the blockbuster shows driving you to your tv set. If you go way back, before Lost, before the X-files, before Star Trek, and even before The Twilight Zone, there was a little syndicated show in the 50’s called Science Fiction Theater. It was the first of its kind, and not only was the prototype for Sci-fi, but for all the anthology shows to follow, like American Horror Story and even Tales from the Crypt. This week I discuss this almost forgotten, but truly groundbreaking show.
