The Rod Serling-created CBS anthology classic aired between 1959 and 1964 in its original run (not counting the fact it was remade more than once ), yet it managed to touch on social, political, cultural, and existential topics that remain relevant six decades later — if they haven't become even more so.

There's something about animation that brings out the best in sitcoms. Be it the visual flexibility, relatable storytelling, or potential for absurdism with little need for justification, cartoons have historically been a great source for comedy in the episodic, situational format.
