   "The Twilight Zone" The Bard (1963)   
      
   Julius Moomer, a talentless self-promoting hack who dreams of becoming a    
   successful television writer, uses a book of magic to summon William    
   Shakespeare to write dramatic teleplays that Moomer will pass off as his    
   own. Shakespeare becomes irritated by Moomer's lack of appreciation and    
   is even more appalled when he discovers the changes wrought on his plays    
   by cynical television executives.
