The original "Twilight Zone" ran on CBS from 1959 to 1964, and the network revived the series in the 1980s. Most recently, the UPN ran a revival of the series, with Forest Whitaker hosting. That version, which launched in 2002, lasted one season.

Singer was also involved in the revival of another classic television series earlier this year, with NBC's "The Munsters" revamp, dubbed "Mockingbird Lane." Initially conceived as a series, "Mockingbird Lane" aired as a Halloween special for the network.
