Rod Serling Makes A Mortgage Payment

You’ve already unlocked a door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension: a dimension where you have written some amazing dramatic television, but those sweet gigs are in the past. A middle ground that recognizes that you are a celebrity, but forgets that your narration makes everything a little creepy. You’ve just crossed over into… the Bill Paying Zone. Rod Serling narrates these films: Your New Job, Patterns of Time – the Hardwood Story and a TV pilot episode, In Search Of Ancient Astronauts.
