TV Review: Twilight Zone: Where Is Everybody? (1959)

The original Twilight Zone ran from 1959 to 1964.  For the most part it was short stories adapted by Rod Sterling to T.V.  The episodes do not carry over, but each is independent.  This is the first of the series, the first season.  Earl Holliman plays Mike Ferris.  However he in fact does not remember his name.  He wanders into a town with no people.  He mistakes a mannequin for a person, but there really are no people.  He looks for them, and finally breaks down as a result of being all alone.  We then cut back and see this has been an experiment in longevity in isolation in preparation for travel to the moon.  They realize they can take care of basic needs, food, air etc., but isolation is a problem to long  space journeys.
