And Published
The 1950s was the golden time of television. As the medium was on the way to the homes, then television programs began to influence their huge impact on pop culture. Television production was a flourishing market and broadcasters wanted to conquer the market as much programming as possible.
As such, the diversity of programming meant that many genre series made a note in the generation. Science literature was not different. In fact, it gained a tremendous amount of culture in post -war America as technology progress led to new visions of the future.
Is important sci-fi Exhibitions from that central era that still deserve to find a modern audience, so the good people at the Giant Freak Robot event got our time machine and brought back the 1950s Sci-Fi TV shows that are still worth watching.
Flash gordon
The DNA of the Star Wars extends decades before the first opening is indexed.
George Lucas was inspired by the original Flash Gordon series of 1930s. They led to the development of the 1950s trends of the same name.
Flash Gordon and his ally wander in the 33th century on their slippery spaceship, trying to guard the galaxy, which is constantly threatened by the crazy and machination of the mustache with the threatening Moniker Paul Richards.
While we love this program as a predecessor to reach the star Star Trekbest of all Flash gordon is Irene Champlin’s performance by Dale Ardenina, whose fearless female scientists showed to viewers – not to mention the galaxy – that she is no problem.
Flash gordon There is an early sci-fi icon whose effect is still felt to this day. He walked so Captain Kirk could run… or warp.
Twilight zone
Since 1959 and changes the genre television forever, Twilight zone is an anthology series created by Master Dreamweaver Plus actor Rod Serling. Each episode delivers a new story and new horrors, studying not only science fiction but also fantasy, horror and lovely blends of those genres and others.
Narratively, the Twilight zone is intended to be a different dimension, the reality that we only recognize as our own until the nightmare begins.

Tom Corbett, Space Contact
Would you believe someone hitting a paramount Starfleet Academy Looks almost 80 years ago?
Tom Corbett, Space Contact is a show from the training of futuristic teenagers to a solar guard. They travel a galaxy with charming abuse as part of their workplace training. Instead of ordinary sci-fi-exaggerates, these star space knights mostly face natural disasters and must use their combination of their collective brain and high-tech to save the day.
We love most of this series for its unfortunate optimism and faith in the power of science, features that make even more attractive now that even idealistic franchise -franchise programs such as Star Trek are becoming Schlocky, which seem more about stupidity than science.
Young idealism encounters age optimism in this slice of space life, which at its best represents the positivity of the SCI-FI golden age.
Science fiction Theater
Years before tShe’s twilight zone Helped to define science fiction, the anthology series was already a popular form of programming, including Science fiction Theater.
The exhibition hook used legally presented science to tell stories foreignersTime travel, environmental disasters and why a person should not confuse the mother nature. Pamela Isley would have something to say about it.
The debut in 1955, the series also used pseudosciences and quackers. An example would be the episode “The Flicker”, where flashing television forces a young man’s murder through hypnosis.
Most of the episodes were drawn directly Scientific AmericanMaking it a fascinating time capsule on how pop culture looked at science during the atom age.
From the dangers of technology, including the episode of people turned into workers’ droons through the enzyme, there were plenty of episodes, this was a 1950s version Black mirror.

Rocket Rangers wand Brown
In the 90s fans will discuss if Star Trek: Deep Space Nine was ripping Babylon 5 or vice versa. Well, history repeated itself as a similar conflict in the 50s between fans Tom Corbett, Space Contact and later series, Rocket Rangers wand Brown.
Rod brown Thanks to his peers and three main sp, he was distinguished from his peers, including a respected Ranger Rod Brown, anxious and easily annoying Ranger Frank and a plump cartoon, Ranger Wilby “Wormsey”.

Rocket Rangers wand Brown It may have been considered that part of the stroke, but it is also a live action cartoon and indirectly responsible for the happy Saturday mornings of decades.
Stories tomorrow
Rod Sterling advertises Stories tomorrow as a significant inspiration Twilight zone And it’s not hard to see why.
Stories tomorrow There is a unique mix of pen and paper storytelling on direct television with raw energy that had previously been seen on stage.
Presentation of early science writers like Arthur C. Clarken, Fredric Brown and cm Kornbluth, each independent episode has stories about the past and dystopian future of guest encounters, scientific experiments intended for an adult audience.
The stories of tomorrow The magic comes from its unpredictability. The actors would forget the lines, the Mishandle returnee, and they simply have to roll on the strokes because there were no other grip.
Don’t you believe us? See the “Frankenstein” episode, which celebrates old actress Lon Chaney Jr., allegedly forbidden during recording that she still thought she was in a dressing exercise.
Testing the boundaries of early television sources, Stories tomorrow It is a fascinating clock, because even when improvisation sometimes became a necessity, ability, and brilliant storytelling evened the way for future anthology series. In Stories tomorrowmay not have ever been Twilight zone.
