What happens

The Twilight Zone is an anthology television series that aired from September 27, 1985, to April 15, 1989. It is the first of three revivals of Rod Serling's 1959–64 television series, and like the original it featured a variety of speculative fiction, commonly containing characters from a seemingly normal world stumbling into paranormal circumstances. Unlike the original, however, most episodes contained multiple self-contained stories instead of just one. The voice-over narrations were still present, but were not a regular feature as they were in the original series; some episodes had only an opening narration, some had only a closing narration, and some had no narration at all. The multi-segment format liberated the series from the usual time constraints of episodic television, allowing stories ranging in length from eight minutes to 40 minutes. The series ran for two seasons on CBS before producing a final season for syndication. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
