The Twilight Zone (1985 TV series) Second season (1986 87)
The series debuted in an hourlong format, but was put on hiatus only a few weeks into the season. CBS had moved the series to Saturday nights, which led to falling ratings. When The Twilight Zone returned in December, the episodes were halfhour shows, and generally contained only one story. The series was cancelled by February, with remaining episodes being burned off over the summer as hourlong multistory episodes. Season 2 only ran for 11 episodes; several of the unproduced episodes would be filmed for season 3. In regard to writing for the episode The Girl I Married, J. M. DeMatteis commented I have a feeling that the show that appears will not bear much relation to what I wrote. What I ve found out is that this seasonunlike last, where the script was pretty much regarded as sacrosanctthe network is really interfering a lot. Regardless, I know I did a good job and it was a real satisfying
