special service

"Special Service" is the sixty-fourth episode, and the twenty-seventh episode of the third season (1988–89), of the television series The Twilight Zone. It was written by J. Michael Straczynski. In the episode, a man discovers that for the past five years, he has been under constant video surveillance and the footage broadcast 24/7 as a hit TV show. Some critics noted similarities between the episode's story and the critically acclaimed 1998 feature film The Truman Show. Unlike The Truman Show, however, "Special Service" consistently treats its premise as humorous and implausible, a satire of the human tendency to assume that events revolve around oneself.
