Synopsis
Rod Serling branched out from his Twilight Zone television series in the early 1970s with Night Gallery. The material was darker than most Serling-fans had come to expect, with plenty of horror and creepy chills included in each episode. A constant throughout the show was the eerie beginning, which would involve a painting in an old museum depicting events which were about to unfold. Serling provided a suitably spooky introduction to each tale, and then a variety of special guests actors would play out the action. Includes episodes directed by Steven Spielberg.

5.0 out of 5 stars A creepy classic!, 8 Nov 2006
Night Gallery was creator Rod Serling's follow up to The Twilight Zone. Set in a shadowy museum, Serling would introduce each episode stood in front of a collection of dark, disturbing portraits which related to the stories that followed. Whilst The Twilight Zone dealt mainly with science fiction, Night Gallery saw Serling's unique vision focus upon tales of horror and suspense.
Included in this set is the original pilot featuring three stories starring, amongst others, Roddy McDowall, Joan Crawford and Tom Bosley. There then follows the complete first season (six episodes) and a bonus episode from both season 2 and 3. All in all you get twenty three stories ranging from the wonderful, Serling-scripted, 'They're Tearing Down Tim Riley's Bar', to fillers such as the vampire spoof 'A Matter of Semantics'.
The cast list reads like a who's who of seventies television stars. Larry Hagman, Burgess Meredith, Diane Keaton, Bill Bixby, Al Lewis, John Carradine and the immortal Vincent Price are just a few of the familiar faces that feature. Two of the stories are directed by a young Steven Spielberg.
The picture and sound quality have both been restored to a very high standard. The only criticism I have is, like so many Universal Studio re-issues, the lack of any special features. Would it have been too much trouble to include interviews or commentaries with cast members and/or production staff?
Fans of Rod Serling and classic horror in general should thoroughly enjoy this collection. Whilst not of the same consistent high standard of The Twilight Zone, the majority of episodes are extremely entertaining and definitely worthy of repeated viewings.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ladies & Gentlemen, Welcome to the Night Gallery, 19 Aug 2008
By B. KIRKHAM "kirkham_ben" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
In 1969, 4 years after the final episode of The Twilight Zone was broadcast, the pilot episode of Night Gallery was shown.

Those expecting a show with the same sort of ideas and style as The Twilight Zone will be surprised. Night Gallery has had a bad rap over the years, and it is perhaps something of a shame that it doesn't always get the recognition it deserves.

Let's be honest right from the start: Night Gallery doesn't have the beautiful production and gloss that coated the earlier series. It lack's Twilight Zone's solid production and emotional punch (for the most part), and, in my eyes at least, will always be the inferior of the two. However, there are things that Night Gallery does very well. The scope of imagination is still there, although this time less about social commentary and concentrating more on scares, frights and concepts. At it's best, it utilises the colour medium extremely well and the stamp of early-70's experimental music is all over it. It also has a very different structure from The Twilight Zone. It can tell 2/3/4 stories in an hour episode and this allows the production team to experiment with different narrative styles.

This DVD features the pilot episode and the 6 episodes of season 1. Of all the episodes here, the pilot feels the best rounded. The 1st of the 3 tales here, 'The Cemetery,' is perhaps the least interesting of the 3 but is still riveting and features various horrific twists and turns. The ending, in particular, is brilliantly chilling. The 2nd segment, 'Eyes,' marks Steven Spielberg's directorial debut and is a brilliant piece of television. Dynamic, intriguing and thought provoking, this is Rod Serling at his best. The 3rd and final segment does not disappoint. 'The Escape Route' stars Richard Kiley as a Nazi War criminal on the run in late-60's Buenos Aries. It is fast-paced and intelligently written, with maturity not usually present in modern television.

After the pilot, things get slightly more hit-and-miss, but even the worst segments are entertaining. Particularly good from the series proper are 'The Dead Man,' about a physician's attempts to hypnotise his patient (with horrific results), 'Room With A View,' a 10 minute piece that is brilliant in its simplicity, 'The Little Black Bag,' which features Burgess Meredith as a down-and-out doctor that discovers a medical bag from the future, 'Certain Shadows on the Wall,' in which an avaricious family become cursed by a recent death, and 'The Doll,' an extremely creepy tale about a strange doll that terrifies a British colonial officer. But the undoubted highlight of the season is Rod Serling's superb 'They're Tearing Down Tim Riley's Bar.' A beautiful, haunting, autumnal story, it represents Serling at his most powerful and masterful and features a truly mesmerising performance from William Windom as Randolph Lane.

Also included here is 1 episode of season 2 and 2 episodes of season 3. I'll go into detail about these more as and when the final 2 seasons are released, but the standout tale here is 'The Diary.'

Don't watch this series expecting the Twilight Zone. Although you will get faint glimmers, this is pretty much a full-blooded horror anthology show done well, and that's a rarity. For any fans of Rod Serling and anyone that appreciates good, intelligent horror, I highly recommend this. Roll on seasons 2 and 3.

Watch it late at night, turn the lights off, light a candle... and shiver.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nowt Gallery, 9 Sep 2008
By Euchrid Eucrow (Aylesbury, UK) - See all my reviews
Dull, just dull. The majority of these stories are just plain uninteresting. Too slow, too lacking in any real chills or suspense. Some are just plain daft.
The pilot episode whets your appetite for the "real" episodes, but they then let the whole thing down with weak, predictable, pondering nonsense. Few stories actually deserve to be appearing in a "spine-chilling suspense" show at all.
The award winning story "They're Tearing Down Tim Riley's Bar" or whatever it was called, is totally spook-free - it's a melodrama, nothing more (and a slow and totally mawkish one at that).
Other lowlights: "Return of the Sorcerer" - Crikey, what a farce. Clark Ashton Smith must be turning in his grave.
"Nature of the Enemy" - You cannot be serious! Utter rubbish.
I could go on and on.
My advice - watch the one starring Burgess Meredith. Marvel (and laugh!)at the bizarre faces pulled by his co-actor. Then donate this DVD collection to your local Age Concern shop.
