Night Gallery (1969–1973)
6/10
I Grew Up Watching This Show!
20 August 2021
What to say about this one... This was a 'my generation' TV show. I was born too late to catch the original run of Twilight Zone and only get the 1970's reruns. But, I watched this as 'coming next week' attractions. It was a good show and still IS a good series. But, there are a lot of duds mixed in there with the gems. It's not as consistent as TZ. So, I have to base my ratings on the mix of good and bad episodes. There's also the part of it feeling like a TZ rip off at times. Rod Serling couldn't make a success out of TZ after the first few seasons and sold the rights to CBS. Production costs were too high and he believed that he would never recover the costs and make a viable go of it. That's the reasoning his widow has released about why he sold the rights in recent years. Must have been a bitter pill to swallow when he realized what it would go on to become. So, Night Gallery has always felt a little like a 'rip off' to me. That being said, if you've never watched it before, give it a chance There's lots of gems in there. They're just mixed in with a few duds.
