I pictured the set looking horrible from some of the things that have been going around the message boards, but I thought the dust was the only problem (and one minor defect that lasted a second in a story).>> I think some folks got the impression that the butchered half-hour syndication...

You are in for an unbelievable ride. I think this series will stand the test of time better than any other series. Anyone from anywhere can appreciate it.>> I find it instructive to compare a series with others of its period, to place it in some sort of cultural context. When you look around...

Is "They're Tearing Down Riley's Bar" the one with the Jerry Wallace song "If You Leave Me Tonight I'll Cry"?>> No, that was "The Tune in Dan's Cafe," one from the second season.

i find it very affecting (i'm usually prone to nostalgia anyway and have been since i was a kid) opinion is opinion, and Gord is certainly entitled to his, but my eyebrows did arch when i read that. one problem might have been expectation- that's the least horror themed story in the whole...

Agreed. The silly blackouts notwithstanding, the second season is when "Gallery" really hit its stride with its weird combination of stories: adaptations of classic horror fiction and Serling's thoughtful originals. The Lovecraft adaptations, "Cool Air" and "Pickman's Model," are Top Ten...

The look and feel of "Zone" and "Gallery" are entirely different. "Zone," in black and white, is a polemic directly connected to the paranoia of the postwar years, and has a distinctly moral, humanist viewpoint. Even though it presented a few comic exercises, it was primarily a "serious" show...

That's the response a lot of other fans of the show are having, too. It exhibits the studio's decided lack of savvy about the DVD buyer. By including "bonus stories" from later seasons, Universal can offer something as an extra without laying out the cash to produce special features or dig up...

RE: “Night Gallery.” Despite concerns from the DVD-preparation staff within the studio, who showed decision-makers a night-and-day comparison between an old print and a newly restored print, the marketing department decided to move ahead with the transfer to DVD using the old 1991 remastering...

If they used the old masters, they would be the original uncut version of the show. There were two omissions in the second season, however. One episode segment, "The Diary," had a music cue omitted. Another, "The Sins of the Fathers," had three music cues omitted. Just one more reason why a new...

The "auditioning for their jobs" information came from a New York-based television writer I know who has beaucoup de industry contacts. The climate of fear was confirmed by a freelance DVD producer who has worked with Universal several times over the past few years. I have no reason to doubt...

I have been informed by someone privy to Universal's inner workings that, because of the NBC buyout last year--which just got finalized Monday--all the executives are frozen with fear. NBC is going to make all of them, regardless of seniority, audition for their jobs. And since all of them have...

Paul, I understand your position. This is something of a gamble, I realize. Universal, when they get wind of this campaign, could decide to quash the release altogether. I doubt it, however. It's already in the pipeline, and the past has shown they will change their approach if the impetus (in...

Sorry to be unclear. They are using the same masters as the ones you saw on Starz. This mastering is fifteen years old, however, and it can't reveal the detail under scrutiny that a new remastering would (technology has advanced, and a large-screen TV will reveal the grain), and, more...

Universal Studios recently announced an August DVD release for the first season of “Night Gallery.” Despite concerns from the DVD-preparation staff within the studio, who showed decision-makers a night-and-day comparison between an old print and a newly restored print, the marketing department...
