50. Everyone born after 1959 knows about the Twilight Zone!
I'm a *huge* Twilight Zone fan. Rod Serling, it turns out, was a friend of my Grandfather. It's too bad they're both dead, now.

Having been born in 1966, no, I never saw The Twilight Zone in its first run, but I've happily been a fan for nearly 30 years. I "discovered" it as a child.
