I can actually recite some of the opening and closing narratives off the top of my head! Judgement Night is one of my favorites; such a well written show! Rod Serling was a genius.

There was an opening monologue for the series that was used for the first three seasons: "There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination.... etc." and there there were opening and closing narratives recorded by Rod Serling for each televised episode. They were really well written in the early seasons, when Rod was still focused on the show.

I'm cheating and copying/pasting this, but this is what I'm talking about:

Opening Narration -

"Her name is the S.S. Queen of Glasgow. Her registry: British. Gross tonnage: five thousand. Age: Interdeterminate. At this moment she's one day out of Liverpool, her destination New York. Duly recorded on the ship's log is the sailing time, course to destination, weather conditions, temperature, longitude and latitude. But what is never recorded in a log is the fear that washes over a deck like fog and ocean spray. Fear like the throbbing strokes of engine pistons, each like a heartbeat, parceling out of every hour into breathless minutes of watching, waiting and dreading.. For the year is 1942, and this particular ship has lost its convoy. It travels alone like an aged blind thing groping through the unfriendly dark, stalked by unseen periscopes of steel killers. Yes, the Queen of Glasgow is a frightened ship, and she carries with her a premonition of death."

...

Closing Narration -

"The S.S. Queen of Glasgow, heading for New York., and the time is 1942. For one man it is always 1942 - and this man will ride the ghost ship every night for eternity. This is what is meant by paying the fiddler. This is the comeeuppance awaiting every man when the ledger of his life is opened and examined, the tally made, and then the reward or the penalty paid. And in the case of Carl Lanser, former Kaptian Lieutenant, Navy of the Thrid Reich, this is the penalty. The is the justice meted out. This is judgement night in the Twilight Zone."

Yeah, the monologue was what I had down. It's coming back to me already. 

Indeed, good stuff.  The later episodes wear on me a bit, but like you say, a lot of the early stuff is great. And no doubt Serling always decked out in natural shoulder, slim lapels and tie, and cig. Good clothes to be seen throughout the original series.

Now I'm afraid to use the electric razor. 

I think sometimes Serling's intended humor didn't come across that well.

Nice trap cap Cap.  But I'm dismayed to follow that link to find nothing is there.  Glad to see you're still around and tricklin' down.

Looking great Ox.  The hair a little more "wet" today? I like it.  Ship shape as always.

Lovely stuff...but are the shirt buttons luminous or is the camera doing something funny?

Yeah Bop.  I believe he has them hooked up to a power pack he keeps stuffed under the hanky. 

An utterly bold outfit Billax.  Careful with that stick and ball.  Keep it away from your big windows.
