The Zero Hour

was a series of tightly-paced, suspenseful dramas that had outstanding acting, excellent music, and superb sound effects. Rod Serling hosted the series, but it is unclear whether he had any creative control. He did write a few of the scripts, though.

The series aired from late-1973 to late-1974. Originally, each story was told as five, 25 to 30-minute episodes, Monday-Friday. Thirteen such stories were told. Then the format changed so a different story aired each day of the week, but with the same actor playing the lead. An additional 65 stories were told in this format.
