Critic’s corner: What’s on TV tonight

The Twilight Zone marathon Syfy

It all comes down to “The Twilight Zone” — someday the world will understand this fact. All life lessons, all of human nature’s tricks and tragedies, are contained somewhere in Rod Serling’s slow, black-and-white, low-tech short plays. Also, many, many contemporary TV shows and movies have roots in “Zone” episodes. The annual marathon started on Monday, and it extends to 4:30 a.m. on Wednesday. Pictured: Serling.

But fear not, there will be plenty of bad behavior. “People don’t expect a preacher and a preacher’s wife to have a good sex life,” says one in the commercial for the show, while another talks about having smoked crack.
