It's time to admit this was never good
>>214575029Watched it as a kid and can't remember a single storyline.
>>214575029I just watched a pretty shit twilight zone episode. Astronauts on earth but everybody is frozen
>>214575029It was good.
>>214575054I vaguely remember the kid from the Waltons being on the show & ending up having to eat another person towards the end?
>>214575066Was it a rip-off of A Pail of Air?
You have shit taste of you don't like night gallery >>214575054That doesn't mean anything
>>214575029But enough about Pulp Fiction
>>214575134It's not too bad visually, though of course it could never match the black-and-white film of Twilight Zone. I've been rewatching Night Gallery on the recent Blu-ray release and it's visually better than I thought. When I first watched it years ago it was shit VHS quality. That being said, the storylines are totally shit. And crammed together with one or two other poorly-written segments. Whereas Twilight Zone was philosophical and poetic, Night Gallery was bloated and shallow. Like some gothic funhouse trading depth for melodrama and shock. Or some made-for-TV Halloween special, full of garish lighting and theatrical acting combined with overwrought horror cliches. Not Rod Serling's fault, of course. He was basically relegated to introducing stories he often did not write and frequently didn't even like. Total schlock compared to the Twilight Zone. Diluted by studio meddling, bad taste, and a lack of control.
>>214575029I don't think that was a secret.
>>214575416You shouldn't compare a near perfect show like the twilight zone to other shows. In comparison twilight zone makes any show look bad
>>214575029Way ahead of you
>>214575453I guess. If I were to watch it with the same eye that I do the 1980s Twilight Zone, the Forest Whitaker Twilight Zone, The New Alfred Hitchcock Presents, The Outer Limits from the 90s, The Hitchhiker, Tales from the Darkside, Tales from the Crypt, Goosebumps, Monsters, Eerie, Indiana, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, and The Ray Bradbury Theater, then I suppose I would enjoy it more. But it's still guilty of the same thing: it's cheesy. Not impossible to ignore, but harder than many of the aforementioned ones. Night Gallery is clearly its own show but it is also clearly "hey member Twilight Zone?" to some extent. And that makes it harder to ignore. According to Wikipedia: > Serling added that they wanted "considerable action as opposed to anything insightful, cerebral or sensitive."And though I've tried to ignore that, it does make it harder to enjoy. Though I feel all of this is really a matter of time period. Television undewent a massive downgrade when color was adopted. And it didn't really start improving until the 90s. Audiences weren't really as interested in kino shows like Cheyenne, The Rifleman, Twilight Zone, Alfred Hitchcock Presents/Hour, Outer Limits, Thriller, The Fugitive, The Saint etc. So instead we got The Brady Bunch and The Partridge Family and Eight Is Enough. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't all that bad. I've often enjoyed CHiPs, All in the Family, even Charlie's Angels. But the void of Twilight Zone was never filled and probably never will be. Black Mirror? Room 104? Jordan Peele? Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities? No thanks. Channel Zero was decent I guess but way too cheap to be great. Inside No. 9 is pretty good but I haven't watched it in a while. American Horror Story is expensive garbage. Other than that, I don't know.
There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to Goyim.It is a dimension as vast as debt and as timeless as debt collection.It is the middle ground between cash and credit, between economy and entertainment, and it lies between the depths of the Goyim's pockets and the summit of their confusion.This is the dimension of pure shilling.It is an area which we call... the Shekel Zone
>>214575029I sought this show out once not because I thought it would be good but because I knew it was rare
>>214575029The Earwig Episode still spooks me.
>>214575029I think people were saying that while it aired, OP
