It is about a plastics salesman, played by William Windom, whose neglect by his corporate seniors and gradually overwhelming sense of nostalgia lead him to confuse his wishes of the past with reality. The episode was first broadcast on January 20 1971, and subsequently nominated for an Emmy Award as the Outstanding Single Program broadcast on U.S. television that season. The play was one of four Serling wrote dealing with the pressures of corporate executives, the others being the 1955 "Kraft Television Theatre" production "Patterns" and "The Twilight Zone" episodes "Walking Distance" and "A Stop at Willoughby." Also appearing in the episode were Diane Baker, Bert Convy, and John Randolph.
Later in his life, when asked for what two things he'd written that he would want to be most remembered for, Rod Serling answered with "Requiem for a Heavyweight" and "They're Tearing Down Tim Riley's Bar".
Like the main character of Randy Lane, both Rod Serling and William Windom were paratroopers in World War II.
