Submitted for your approval… Rod Serling
Interesting stuff courtesy of Phil Rosenthal. This chit-chat between Mike Wallace and Rod Serling aired in September 1959, just before the Twilight Zone made it's debut.

It’s called a Cybernetic Lifeform Node…
The pilot for Caprica came out on DVD this week, and as you might imagine I was immediately out the door to get it. Caprica is a very, very different series from Battlestar Galactica.
