Rod, White & Blue Returns to TV

 

Celebrate America’s birthday on the edge of your seats with the Heroes & Icons’ annual 4th of July tradition, Rod, White & Blue: A Twilight Zone Celebration. The star-spangled marathon brings viewers four days of twists and turns with classic episodes of The Twilight Zone and The New Twilight Zone, beginning Thursday, July 2 at 6am ET/PT and continuing through Monday, July 6 at 6am ET/PT. Now in its fourth year on H&I, the fan-favorite event has become a holiday-weekend destination for viewers seeking unforgettable journeys into television’s most bizarre dimension.

A special highlight of this year’s marathon is the H&I premiere of the Season 4 episode “Miniature,” airing Thursday, July 2 from 8-9pm ET/PT. Featuring an early performance by Robert Duvall, the episode follows a lonely and socially awkward man who becomes captivated by a museum dollhouse, where the miniature world inside begins to feel more inviting than his own. Widely regarded as one of the series’ most poignant and imaginative episodes, “Miniature” showcases The Twilight Zone at its most thought-provoking.

Created and hosted by the television visionary Rod Serling, The Twilight Zone originally aired on CBS from 1959 to 1964, and forever transformed the medium with its groundbreaking blend of science fiction, fantasy, suspense and social commentary. The series used the extraordinary to explore very real human fears, hopes and dilemmas, often delivering unforgettable twists that still surprise audiences decades later. More than 60 years after its debut, The Twilight Zone remains one of television’s most influential and enduring series.

The annual programming event signals another thrilling summer for H&I with programming celebrating heroic and iconic drama, action and adventure, anchored by a weeknight CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and Star Trek lineup, and a weekday lineup that features The A-Team on Mondays, JAG on Tuesdays, NCIS on Wednesdays, Without A Trace on Thursdays and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation on Fridays.

Here is what July looks like on the H&I network:
