Let your viewers delve into the world of Rod Serling with this mind-blowing video! Follow the legendary creator of the iconic Twilight Zone as he takes on public outrage with his unique perspective and deep insights. Join him as he unravels the complexities of society.
I have to clarify this video is NOT meant to push an agenda. Political ideologues, the religiously zealous, and people like you and me can intimidate others in attempts to silence, change, or censor. It is not exclusive to any specific group!
bullshit. your title is expressly political.
There was no such things as “cancel culture” back in Rod’s day
@@gonemunting And? Certain terms or phrases used then are not used often now. You had a lot of censors then. It was rare for married couples to be depicted on tv in the same bed.
@@Jo2Go then just call it censorship
@Why the long face? 'Censorship' doesn't get clicks on TH-cam hence the use of cancel culture in quotatios. I understand its not 1 to 1 comparison. If you understand the game that's how it works. It's about what gets a response and I put this video up because I felt the message rod was sending was beneficial and wanted to make history applicable and relevant. Clearly the term cancel culture has a stigma towards the left but on the contrary the video is about a religiously zealous person or potentially group antagonizing a TV network over crap that doesn't matter. Being upset is redundant. Really this is click bait. If you watch my videos most are to bait the right but have moderately left wing views. So if this upsets you it doesn't make sense to me.
Rod Serling was amazing man who spent countless years fighting racism, oppression and injustice in America. We need more people like him today more than ever! If you don’t know much about him please look into his life and his body of work.
He had integrity and spoke about covering social and political issues in his work. Spoke on his beliefs whether it was popular or not. I respect that a lot. We need more like people like that.
I wonder how he would feel about social and political issues today as what is socially exceptable and the culture have seen change but humanity hasn't. He was for including dialogues about racism and politics in media and in person. Today a lot of people are opposed to politics in film and tv but Rod Serling felt it was necessary and spoke about it. I find that incredibly interesting!
It’s really reflected on his shows❤❤
The was man was a SOCIAL PHENOMENON,A SOCIAL PROPHET....
He'd never get picked up nowadays. "Too subversive"
@@Jo2GoThere's a huge difference between feeling obliged to address actual racism and social injustice in the late '50s early '60s and the woke virtue signalling that masquerades as social justice talk by entertainment celebs today.
EDIT: I'm going to repost my response to Jo2Go's response to this comment because he cowardly has removed them.
Here goes:
Your homework assignment is to look up the word "strawman".
I never said racism doesn't exist today; you hallucinated that. I said there's a huge difference between the sorts of things Serling wanted to comment on (e.g. the lynching of Emmett Till) and the short of woke pandering that postures for social justice commentary today.
The equivalent of the puritanical zealots writing letters to television studios complaining about puppy births on TV in Serling's day are the woke left zealots complaining about anything they deem offensive in media and elsewhere.
You have a lot more in common with the people concerned about puppy births on television in Serling's day than Serling.
Much of what is characterized as "racism" in 2024 is 'racist' in the same sense that showing puppies being born on "Lassie" was 'burlesque' or somehow perverse or pornographic etc.
Thank you for proving me old adage true that when you point a finger at someone else you point 3 back at yourself.
Even when he talks about puppies, his intonation keeps you on the edge of your seat. I wish I could hear this dude recite a grocery list.
Well Lassie having puppies is a far cry from going to a burlesque bar.❤️
Yeah, they’re dogs! They have puppies! Did they expect the dogs to give birth to humans?!
Maybe a calving.....
You are spot on Mr. Serling!
He wasn't just a good screenplay writer he was a respectable man who was socially ahead of his time in a very polarizing climate in American history.
What a sensible, pragmatic, thinking, decent human being Rod Sterling seemed to be. Characteristics in short supply then and in shorter supply now.
Sounds like small minded people today! Not much changes! Sad! Miss you Mr. Sterling! You were a genius!
This is from a different time but still relevant
Too relevant.
Still too relevant.
Yes. But instead of puppies it's people complaining about anime tiddies nowadays.
Touche Rod...excellent analogy. Thank you for saying this. .it is 2024 and in the south they still feel the same.
“If I wanted my kids to watch sex shows I wouldn’t have them turn on that, I could take them to burlesque shows” Rod Serling is the only person I heard all talk sensibly all day. Sad and scary 😟
Rod isn’t the one saying that, he’s criticizing people who say that about something as natural as the birthing process, as he said people from the deep South
He's right we are humans boys and men need to experience sex and the birthing process
Why it is human to experience it
It's learning that you must not forget where you came from
It is sad that there's hateful sexist men in this messed up world 😢
This is why I left the three Abrahamic faiths
I believe in Jesus in a more rational way
Not fire brimstone damnation type god
The god of Abrahamic faiths is SATAN
SALVATION OF THE CHURCH IS SLAVERY OBEDIENCE AND SERVIENT TO AN EVIL GOD
SIN IS FREEDOM LIBERTY DIVERSITY EQUALITY RIGHTS
I FOLLOW THE ANTI ABRAHAMIC FAITHS TRADITIONS OF ADAM WEISHAUPT AND ALESTER CROWLEY NOT TO SAY JESUS IS A LIE BUT THE WHOLE SYSTEM OF THE THREE ABRAHAMIC FAITHS IS A
LIE TO DOMINATE THE FREEDOM OF HUMANITY
WE ARE THE ORDO ILLUMINATI
GNOSTICA
WE FOLLOW KNOWLEDGE WISDOM RATIONAL THINKING UNITY FOR ALL PEOPLES OF THE WORLD
OUR MINERVAL SCHOOLS WE FOLLOW ARE ALL AROUND THE WORLD FROM VALENTIANISM
TO PYTHAGORASISM
WE ARE HERE WE HAVE NO TEMPLE OR BUILDINGS
THE EMPIRE OF OPPRESSION IS ABOUT TO FALL
THE TIME OF THE SCARLET WOMAN
HAS COME💜💙
WE ARE UNIQUE IN NATURE
WE ARE E PLURBUS UNUM
Mr Serling would have a heart attack if he saw TV today
He'd have the same reaction as the meme of Prof Farnsworth when he didn't want to live on earth anymore
Nah. This is Rod Sterling's reaction to religious extremism and prudish moralizing.
Fair assessment. What we have today is companies and people caving to outrage online that does not reflect a majority of a population but an echo Chamber. I do think however outrage these days are often warranted.
It’s the same annoying shit either way.
That's exactly what he said when he was alive. Thank you!
@@Jo2Go no we don't, what we have are reactionaries making up publics and gesturing to them as justification for their reactionary bullshit.
Cancel Culture and Wokeism share many of the same hallmarks of zealotry and cultism seen within religious extremist belief systems.
The lesson to learn from this video is that "cancel culture" is not generational or political ideological in nature, but just human. People have always been offended over anything and everything.
Rod Serling used his gift of writing to help grow the advancement of knowledge for all mankind. His words still ring true.
One person complained. We all lost.
Thanks so much for this. I adore Rod Serling and have loved coming across his speeches and interviews on TH-cam. My favorite is his talk at UCLA on 11/11/66. Sad how relevant it still is today, but he said it all so well. Such an amazing man, I’ve wished many times he as here so we could hear his thoughts. I’m also glad he hasn’t been whittled down to another celebrity talking about politics though, which I imagine could have happened if he was on Twitter.
Been watching some of your shorts, great job, appreciate your work!
His takes aged really well in my opinion but that can't be said about everyones of the time. I think it's easier looking at politics through a historical lense. Since you're not dealing with the same divisive discourse on a day to day it's easier for people to seperate themselves and opinions to see things more objectively. A lot of takes, perspectives, and ideas aged like milk but every time I watch a Rod Serling interview I'm able to look at things from the context of the time and then apply it to see how things have changed or how many things remained. Nothing new under the sun. Fascinating stuff. I'm young and have not lived through things he speaks on and even still it feels very applicable in a modern context. Just because you are given information doesn't mean you will contextualize it properly and it seems this comments section shows a variety opinions and ideas. It's interesting.
Rod recalls the story just like he's telling a story on the Twilight Zone. He was such a gifted individual 😊
Rod is a god! Amun Men.
Told a story better than anyone.
Thanks buddy!
Love,The future...
soft people even back then
Lol. True. Segregation speaks to that which Rod Serling was vocally against.
There is nothing new under the sun: what's happened before will happen again. We got out of the intolerance of that era, and we'll get out of the intolerance of ours; the only question is how long it takes to defeat those who are intolerant of ideas they don't like.
He's always been one of the coolest people ever to me.
Cool as fuck attitude. Cool as fuck style. Cool as fuck way he speaks. Cool as fuck views.
He's just absolutely cool as fuck.
It’s interesting that he said many of the letters came from the same place. Almost like spamming in the internet these days.
RIP Mr. Serling. Disgusting that even then they were doing this bs.
Now it's flipped and it's the so-called tolerant left that are canceling everyone.
Unfortunately the Deep South still hasn’t gotten any better
Rod Serling was woke! ❤th-cam.com/video/C4AEEYDoLOU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=mGar5CiGS4mbuP3R
I’m glad he called out those “moralistic” bullies!
hes talking about the right wing.
@@wesleywyndam-pryce5305 really? I’d say it’s the left always playing victim, they all seem to have the same story of something happening to them all at the same time when really they read something on twitter and will tell everyone it happened to them. Plus it’s them that are always wanting to cancel people and demanding apologies for something they consider offensive
Yeah, liberal bots are ruining American values
@@wesleywyndam-pryce5305
What difference does that make?
What an interesting and talented man. He won't be forgotten in my lifetime that's for sure.🎇👀
Mr. Serling, PLEASE come back here! This world is getting darker every day and your genius is VERY MUCH MISSED.
❤ Bravo, Rod! Speaking of Life from beyond the grave! Shows the Twilight Zone were still in (and reminds us of Lucy and Desi's fight for her to be pregnant on the "I Love Lucy" show as depicted in "Being the Ricardos" of a couple years ago!
Well that would never happen today in our enlightened age.
LOL😂😂😂😂
He is not describing "cancel culture". He's describing conservative bullying.
I believe the OP meant to say Wokism. I’m no expert, but it’s the Burlesque Shows involving children that are more inline with todays modern lib than conservatives.
Exactly. The same idiots banning books in Florida.
It's not a stretch to apply this to cancel culture. One loud dissenter (appearing as many) caused a network to decide not to depict puppies on television as a result.
Exactly!
I don't understand this idea that "cancel culture" only applies to the left. Authoritative right wingers are very much a thing. Capable of doxing, and harrassment just like anyone else.
Growing up in the 60's I watched Lassie on Sunday's. I later found out. Lassie was a boy. Rod was on Twilight Zone. He's great. I saw my dog have puppies when I was young.
Lassie the character is a girl, hence the name and ability to have puppies; the dog playing Lassie varied and many of them were boys.
Rod. I put your Twilight Zone on par or better than Hitchcock.
Well said Rod Serling seems like a episode of The Twilight Zone Lassie nightmare!!!
The precursor to moms for liberty
Lassie was actually a boy dog so the part about having puppies was way ahead of its time.
Weatherwax was the owner and trainer and there were many dogs used in 'Lassie'
I remember skipping 2 days of high school because I loved watching the July 4th Marathon of the Twilight zone on the Sci-Fi Network. I'm 38 years old now and still watch the T.Z....Rod Sterling was and still is a prolific figure of my life and many millions of people. His work and range of writing have captured the true essence of the human condition. So sad that he died so young(50).
A man ahead of his time!
I remember as a child the word "pregnancy" was forbidden. With child was what they used. Terrible claustrophobic times.
"Karens" have always existed. The variable is who is going to give them attention.
1960s and the shit started, wow . There will always be things in the world to offend, if you dont like it walk away , let others decide if its offensive to them.
Wow! I grew up on a farm, and animals giving birth was very common and yet always beautiful and amazing, and to equate it with a burlesque show it in itself the height of perverseness.
I woke my 5 year old daughter in the middle of the night to see her cat give birth to her kittens. My daughter was in awe of the whole process once she realized her cat was not eating a rat.
Wow, the guy who said this has to do with "cancel culture" is not too bright upstairs. If anything, this reveals Rod showing how pathetic the "fundamentalist" are...indeed the very people who feel cancelled. Lol...the state of education is pretty pathetic. Rod was a hero of true morality, the kind that knows people are more important than cultural icons!
10k views later I think the title worked. 🤣🤷♂️ idk what to tell you. Rod Serling was ahead of his time and very in tune with social and societal issues of the time. I'd recommend watching the full interview.
Puppies got canceled on tv because of one loud dissenter. It isn't a stretch to create a link. It isn't ONLY an example of canceling, it is also the absurdity in the objection and an extreme reaction from network executives in response.
Does everything that he says sound like he's describing another episode of The Twilight zone
Except for the cigarettes he was way ahead of his time. The dope equating puppy birth with burlesque shows made me sick.
Way ahead of his time.....sterling definitely was tuned in.#sunshine25❤
Genius.
Rip
His point was about loud minority being listened to instead of sensible reasoning
This shows times haven’t changed only the methods have
When my dog Penny was gonna have her first litter, my Mom got all the neighbourhood kids together to watch. She would take us for nature walks, and this one was another gooder!
Very smart man.
He was definitely ahead of his time
Really miss the insights of Rod Serling. Most known for The Twilight Zone, his understanding of basic human behaviour is epic.
Any family with a pregnant dog or cat, anyone who works with livestock, has probably seen a birth or two.
But it is human nature to grease the squeaky wheel, no matter how extreme or out of proportion that wheel is.
He was always cutting edge when it came to censorship and what could be put in TV.
I think rod would be beyond mortified at the state of the world today, including at “cancel culture”. He’d be beside himself. lol. He’d probably say “was no one paying attention at half the stuff twilight zone said?” 😁
rip he is a bonafide legend that transcends many generations, and created some of the best television ever
Sex shows? OMG...and lol...ah ha ha
Rod Serling was a genius who produced good quality TV programs. And I thank him for his military service in WWII
The south still being the south, same now as it was back then
It's worse than ever before
He pointed out the activity was bot like in a time where pre-internet
Don't worry Mr Serling, Jesus is comming..and he has a cook book.
They destroyed shows with puppies 😢
Thanks Karen
🤣
Exactly!
That damn cigarettes
how insane do you have to be to think giving birth is a bad thing. why didn't they write this person off who sent in the letters as a nut job. didn't know we had Karen's back.
Karen's always existed. I'd look into a documentary called "crisis in levittown." It's free on TH-cam. Was made in the 1960s. It was about how people reacted when a black family moved into their suburban neighborhood. It was interesting seeing people who were nuetral and the contrast of having very upset people being incredibly vocal about the issues. I call it Karen the movie. 🤣 There was a few Karen's that were interviewed.
@@Jo2Go Well I'm definitely watching that tonight. Thanks for the heads up!
This is around the same time that the South was up in an uproar about Captain Kirk and Ohura kissing on Star Trek.
"Well, I think the Negro is deserving of the same opportunities as white folks. But they should be separate from whites because it just causes problems when the colour line is crossed." Though I didn't grow up with such bullshit, it was common within my lifetime. Now we have Nazis!
Rod Serling was woke. ❤

It all begins with parenting if parents were never slapped to reality then the giant wheel of there kids is going to turn.
I would love to hear him read me a bed time story and I'm 36😊❤
Considering Lassie was a boy …
“We dont want sex on our shows!”
Random exec: “Remove the dogs!!”
There was nothing wrong with the series. Cancel culture just needs to get off of it and come human beings and realize that it isn't all about them. Nobody else is worried about it. Isn't it wonderful that some people can just change history by getting rid of it. I feel sorry for children of cancel culture and what about me generation will bring into the world. Gives one cold chills.
❤❤
So cancel culture botting existed back then too. Must've been difficult before you could just have a program spam those for you.
Are you listening? Identical postmarks, identical handwriting. Even back then there was a well financed and well organized operation to portray conservative positions as extreme, and create an excuse to remove natural, healthy behavior from the "program".
What episode are we in
Im a 90s kid, but the Serlings genius is something I marvel at. That time period was perfect too, with space travel just being figured out, it added an sense of plausibility to the scripts.
"Come quick, Timmy got cancelled by insecure perverts!"
It💖💖💖
Idiocy is not the property of any particular group, it can be found almost anywhere, but at present it has reached a peak with certain agendas that are being pushed on everyone.
This is the thing …
Everyone goes on about back in the day & todays culture , but they were worse ..
Where the heck do they think these kids get it from ??
People like the dimwits who wrote in and tried to cancel Lassie . That’s who !!
😂😂😂
Yeah... I think if you disapprove of the state of the younger generation you should look at who raised them. Generally it seems young people are struggling in this economy. It's easier to think that the older generations who spend all this time complaining about us run the world which we inherited. It's unfair though to judge anyone based on age. I'm under the belief there is nothing new under the sun and people as a collective don't change. Maybe individually.
@@Jo2Go your the type of person I aimed it at going by your reply 😂
I thought his last name was Sterling
Me also 😮
Not human
his face looks like it's carved out of rock.
And the same old ignorant people seem to have been emboldened today. The loudest voices are not always the best voices or in harmony!!!
With his voice his kids must have been terrified all the time.
Wasn't Lassie a male dog?
Okay but what's this music?
So basically light in the loafers pansy-ass has existed even back in the day
Effin' eejits.
Rod Serling wasn’t talking about cancel culture. He was referring to tv networks wouldn’t talk about racial issues and reality of a American 🇺🇸 at the time.
100%
People complain more than ever about social and political issues being addressed in movies and television today. His statements and ideas can be applicable today. I also like how the interviewer was giving his perspective on TV being a form of escapism and that he didn't always like social commentary in TV and film. It's interesting how a lot hasn't changed. We still having many of these conversations.
This has nothing at all to do with the titles heading. He’s a lefty anyway. Don’t use his opinion to fit a demagogues narrative.
"Everyone's a Critic!"-Anonymous
Opinions are like assholes, everyone's got one and they're usually full of shit...
It's pretty gross. I'm never going into the medical field
Sex shows? That is a comment out of a twisted mind. Look at the entire world and the history of it and it’s a sex show because nothing would be here without sex. Grow the F up people.
"Shocking" so you know clickbait.
There's nothing shocking here.
Didn't need the music
@Psyclonus7 then go watch the unedited version. This is my most successful short. Knowing the algorithm and that peoples attention span are so messed up it wouldn't have been successful or gotten views. I've been on TH-cam for over 10 years and have multiple channels. 1 far more successful than this one.
Great thing about tv is it has an off button.
Everything in moderation is good. If you feel it is negatively impacting you and you go without it that great. Good for you! No hate there.
Now the burlesque shows are in schools/libraries apparently. How correct he is. The concern is exactly as he stated. Not Lassie having puppies but the Burlesque Shows for children.
No, the problem is people like you still complaining over nothing.
The shows are drag acts reading children's books to children.
There is nothing sexual about it but you are exactly like the person complaining in the story. You imagine sex where is doesn't exist because you have no life.
He’s not expressing nor sharing your concerns or outrage. Rather, Mr. Serling is making an observation about the prudishness and feigned moral outrage that an episode of “Lassie” depicting her delivering a litter of puppies managed to trigger. He would not be on your side, he’d be ridiculing you.
Where?
Since they used a male dog to play Lassie, I would like to see how they made that work. They couldn't have shown much of the birth process.
That's why they complained. The puppies are suckling on Lassie's cock.
Seriously though, the episode is on TH-cam search LASSIE - LASSIE'S PUPS.
They don't show any birth as the dog is a male playing a female indeed. So weird.
@@AnyoneCanSee I'll have to check that out, thanks.
Sort of like mail in ballots.
I'm 300th
In those days husband and wife didn’t Sleep in the same bed on TV and toilets weren’t allowed to flush
Psycho was the first to show a toilet and for it to be heard flushing
From the deep south, huh. Something's never change.
I grew up in the Deep South, and knew about breeding before many kids. We had chickens, dogs, and cats, and my friends had cows and sheep. Farming does that.
The south is the best place to live
This has nothing to do with cancel culture 🤣
The title is clickbaity to an extent but outrage culture, moral hysteria, have always existed. You can draw similarities to the satanic panic of the 80s or how echo chambers online collaborate to harrass or mass flag someone to get them silenced.
sure it does. It shows that things people dislike are cut all the time. Do you think the Dixie chicks were not cancelled by the right when they said what they said about Bush Jr. Sorry to there is no such thing as cancel culture since it was actually created by the right and the so called moral majority.
@@drwatsonca6945 I'd say children's book censorship a thing now too. Recently a publisher edited the word fat out of Charlie and the Chocolate factory and made the oompa loompas gender neutral.
@@drwatsonca6945 Sorry, this has to do with censorship not cancel culture. Cancel culture is the practice of firing people after the first offense without question. Usually because someone did or said something stupid.
@@robertgarcia217 I'd say it comes in other forms. Such as mass flagging to get people banned or bullying people over their beliefs to chase them off platforms.
This post is mis titled, mr sterling comments are about one southern person that was upset that a dog had puppies 🐶. Let’s not read more into it and fan flames of division.
