"lost" interview with Rod Serling, c. 1970

The interview appears to be incomplete, it just kind of stops at the end of part 2... but overall I think this is a fascinating interview. We get his thoughts on Star Trek, fresh off it's final cancellation. We hear his honest thoughts on his skill level as a writer, the legacy of Twilight Zone (and his favorite two episodes), among other topics.

It's also funny to hear him describe the show as a "moderate success", getting "only" 25 million viewers. American Idol, the US's highest rated show, barely beats those numbers, IIRC.
 
Rod Serling was awesome....

He never would know his 1950s/1960s show would still be seen today...in the 21st century...

He was a true genius, and it showed in his work.
