Show Summary

Premiered: Dec 16, 1970
Status: Ended

Night Gallery was creator-host Rod Serling's follow-up to The Twilight Zone. Set in a shadowy museum of the outre, Serling weekly unveiled disturbing portraiture as preface to a highly diverse anthology of tales in the fantasy-horror vein. Bolstering Serling's thoughtful original dramas were adaptations of classic genre material--short stories by such luminaries as H. P. Lovecraft, Fritz Leiber, A.E. van Vogt, Algernon Blackwood, Conrad Aiken, Richard Matheson, August Derleth, and Christianna Brand. Variety of material brought with it a variety of tone, from the deadly serious to the tongue-in-cheek, stretching the television anthology concept to its very limits.''(CREW INFORMATION SUPPLEMENT: Jaroslav Gebr was the artist for the pilot film's three gallery paintings. For the series, all of the gallery canvases were painted by Tom Wright. The gallery's metal sculptures were created by Phil Vanderlei and Logan Elston. Most episodes contained multiple story segments. For the listing of episode credits, crew information is listed under the primary story segment except where a production aspect--music, cinematography--differs among the segments.)moreless

Next to the Twilight Zone, Night Gallery is the second greatest show of all time!

"Superb"

By tzfanatic93, Jun 11, 2010 Report Abuse

The first time I ever saw this show I was maybe nine or ten and it was the episode titled "The Dark Boy" but it was only the end of it and after it went off they showed Rod Serling and I remember thinking 'hey, that's the guy from the Twilight Zone(my #1 favorite show of all time)'. But it wasn't until March of 2007 I beleve, when the horror channel Chiller was launched that I found out what Night Gallery was. My favorite thing about Night Gallery is at the begining of each tale when Rod Serling introduce it with a painting of the macabre in the spooky art gallery.moreless

"Terrible"

By matprat, Sep 05, 2009 Report Abuse

I am a fan of Rod Sterling`s Twilight Zone, and i thought this show also would be great. To my disappointment it wasn`t. I saw the pilot plus season 1&2. I only liked 2 segments of the pilot in this show. They were, The Cemetery and The Escape Route. I liked The Cemetery best, because i think it had: Creepy atmosphere, good acting, suspenseful and great story. I liked the twist ending. I have seen the British lead before in several other tv-series. i think he did a great job, acting wise. I gave up watching this show after viewing season 2. If only season 1&2 had any great segments like the 2 mentioned. I think the rest of the episodes lacked the, Creepy atmosphere, good acting, suspenseful and great story.moreless

Night Gallery, Rod Serling's last huzza to the lost art of short horror fiction

"Perfect"

By jawsthecabbie, Jan 27, 2009 Report Abuse

Not long ago, I found out to my utter delight, that the first season of Night Gallery was now available on DVD. I ordered it immediately, wild horses could not have stopped me from doing so. I was in high school when this series premiered and it instantly became a never miss event as far as I was concerned. My younger siblings risked dismemberment if they went anywhere near the channel knob while it was on. Rod Serling was one of short fiction's great champions, and Night Gallary was his last great tribute to the dying art of the short story. Night Gallery picked up where The Twilite Zone left off, and I fear there will in all probability never be an anthology series again that will do for short fiction what Rod Serling and the Night Gallery did and did so well. I dearly miss this show.moreless

"Perfect"

By Nikkigirl1, Nov 15, 2008 Report Abuse

The Night Gallery was a very good tv show from the early 70's.the episodes i remember the best were ''the nature of the enemy'',''little black bag''and ''the diary''.i dont think it was as good as the Twilight zone but it was a dark-type horror series.the best episode i saw in season 1 was maybe...the house.i am waiting for season 2 to come in the mail.I can't wait til season 3 comes out on dvd!too bad mr serling died at an early age because he was the best at supernatural and fantasy.If someone made a remake in the form of a movie i would include,little black bag,cool air and maybe the diary in the movie.moreless

"Night Gallery" was a mix bag of stories that were told mainly as anthology stories than anything else.

"Fair"

By marvelfan89, Apr 17, 2007 Report Abuse

Having rewatched so many episodes, I can tell you straight out this is nowhere near the league of "Twilight Zone".

A bulk of the stories were too straight forward, had no real surprising twists, lackluster storytelling and in short a disappointment.

I think actually to the contrary of being a horror sci-fi show like Zone this was more of Serling's attempt to write about everyday life with a slight use of supernatural.

Stories like "The Messiah on Mott Street" (a Christmas story) and "They're tearing down Tim Riley's Bar" are clearly sentimenal stories that tell us stuff we already know.

I didn't like the series aside from a few episodes. It might have been that at this point Rod really needed a break more than anything or it could be that he couldn't create the same mystique with this show as he did with the Zone.moreless

Lots of missing episodes
Looks like every episode running this week on RTN-7 is not in the episode list. I'd add them, but for some reason the "add" button...
