The Sci-Fi Timeline Disclaimer:   This is not the definitive Timeline to the evolution of Sci-Fi
                    on television it is just what I have found.  Additions are
                    welcome . The Beginning The Twilight Zone

The Twilight Zone debuted in 1959 as a way to scare people into nightmares.  The Twilight Zone was as you can see in black and white.  The revovlving plot was basically that people would come to self realizations at the end of the show, a sort of moral.  These pictures which were taken form the website Scifi.com involve two different episodes.  The clip on the right is when the man notices something on the wing of his plane trying to halt the engines.  Of course no one else sees it so he is believed to be insane.  The clip on the right is about this man who goes through lief enjoying reading, but can never find enough time to read all he wants.  He soolves this problem be killing off everyone with some sort of bomb or something.  He then goes to the library whose books are littered on what used to be the street.  He then breaks his glasses which he needs to see and comes to the realization that he did have time to read after all.
