The Evolution of The Twilight Zone

The evolution of the Twilight Zone from 1956 to the present day is perhaps most obviously exemplified by the changes in the series' opening title sequence. Even over the course of just the first four seasons of the original series it evolved quite a bit. The only major departure in theme and feel was the opening sequence for the 2002 reboot hosted by Forest Whitaker. The newest rendition, even while making obvious the years of technological advances in production that have taken place; still remains true to the general theme and feel of the originals. However, with consideration for how little the show had to work with as far as budget and tools in the 50s/60s compared to now...It's the original Season 4/5 title sequence which seems most impressive.
