1. Never try to steal your friend’s girl. If you try to steal your friend’s girl you are the true scum of the Earth.
2. Never date/bang your friends’ exes, even if they say it’s okay.
3. If your friend cheats on his woman, you take that shit to your grave.
Sometimes your franchise just fizzles out and you need to revitalize it. Sometimes you run out of directions and think “Hell, why not go to space?”, and other times what starts as a joke ends up as a direct-to-DVD movie doomed to clutter a Walmart bargain bin for eternity alongside copies of The Game Plan and S Darko.

The Twilight Zone is one of the greatest tv shows of all time and most of its genius can be directly credited to Rod Serling. Not only did he write 92 of the 156 epsiodes, but he also provided the opening and closing narration, which acts as the perfect frame for each story, something that puts everything we see in the episode into perspective.
And even taken out of that context, some of the intros and outros have always stayed with me. Here are a few of monologues that just linger with you long after you read or hear them.
