Note: Written as the original pilot for The Twilight Zone, it was shelved and Serling was asked to write a half hour pilot instead. "The Happy Place" was also rejected as unsuitable. Westinghouse Desilu Playhouse bought and produced "The Time Element" which aired to rave reviews and overwhelming viewer response. As a result, The Twilight Zone was given the green light.
