What is it about small towns tucked away far from the bustling streets that is so laden with nostalgia? Perhaps it is the quaint, simple quality of life that defines existence in these spaces, or simply a case of looking back at one's past with rose-tinted glasses. "Valley of the Shadow," the third episode in the fourth season of "The Twilight Zone," examines a town named Peaceful Valley, where a reporter named Phillip Redfield (Ed Nelson) gets lost. However, Phillip's experiences in the town are far from pleasant — he stumbles upon life-altering secrets and is rendered a prisoner with almost no way out. Once Phillip learns that he can steal a technological formula that can make the world a better place, he is faced with obstacles that are designed to test his heart and his intentions as a seemingly well-meaning human being.

At the conclusion of its fourth season in 1976, "M*A*S*H" finished a disappointing fourteenth in the Nielsen ratings, a sizable step down from ranking fourth and fifth in the two years prior. It wasn't the show's fault. The series was still one of the most critically acclaimed sitcoms on television; it earned eight Primetime Emmy awards for that season and won two. The reason for the ratings slip was some puzzling time slot shuffling by CBS, which moved "M*A*S*H" from its Tuesday perch to Friday, a notoriously off night for TV viewing. When the series' audience precipitously declined, the network moved it back to Tuesday halfway through the season, where it quickly recovered. All, it appeared, was well with the 4077th.
Except it wasn't, at least not with series creator Larry Gelbart. The veteran TV comedy writer was getting sick of the medium and feeling hemmed in by his hit series.
