Heroes & Icons Network Presents Annual ‘Twilight Zone’ Marathon for Fourth of July Weekend
If you want a little sci-fi with your Fourth of July plans, the Heroes & Icons network has got you covered. The network’s annual “Rod, White & Blue: A Twilight Zone Celebration” marathon returns for a third year, kicking off on Thursday, July 3, at 6am ET/PT and rolling straight through to Monday, July 7, at the same hour. It spent five summers charming viewers on DECADES before finding its forever home on H&I, and the coast-to-coast fanbase only keeps growing.
Of course, it all begins with Rod Serling, guiding us through that eerie door between reality and imagination. When The Twilight Zone first appeared on CBS in 1959, its cocktail of science fiction, horror and fantasy drew fans in quickly. Serling added pointed social commentary into every twist, leaving audiences of the early ’60s equal parts entertained and enlightened. More than half a century later, those moral gut punches still land.
The marathon also signals the start of another high-energy summer on H&I. Weeknights pair NCIS with interstellar journeys on Star Trek, while weekdays line up comfort classics: Nash Bridges on Mondays, The Unit on Tuesdays, The A-Team on Wednesdays, The Fall Guy on Thursdays and Hawaii Five-O Fridays.
