Thank you so much for posting this; I will be watching.

I LOVED 'Twilight Zone' and 'Night Gallery', and I have every VHS that has been made available on both of them. One of my favorites from Twilight Zone: An elderly lady knows "Death" is coming to visit her and she does not want him to. So when a handsome, young, gentle stranger comes to visit, she doesn't realize it's "Death" until he finally convinces her to go with him. I kept thinking I recognized "Death" but couldn't place him; turns out it was Robert Redford at about age 20-22!

Kids today don't know what they've missed...excellent writing with unexpected twists in the plots.

Yeah, the original episodes always had those great twists. The later series just relied on SFX. Serling had a way of tapping into the nightmarish recesses of our minds and putting it on the screen. I still remember as a kid fearfully looking for the boogyman on the airplane's wings whenever I was on a flight just like the William Shatner character did in one of the episodes.

There were some creepy Night Gallery's, too.

The one's I remember are: 1) the painting of the house that keeps changing, showing a cadaver emerging from a grave and closing in on the house, 2) the lady with the green thumb who is killed by a developer, but she plants her finger first, 3) the mirror into a prehistoric world where a nagging wife goes, 4) the earwig.

I have a lot of "favorite" Twilight Zone episodes, but if you had to pin me down, I would say "To Serve Man" is the one. Who would have thought at the end that the book the alien left was a "cookbook". Quite provacative for the time. Also I never knew he wrote the "Planet Of the Apes". Learn something new everyday.
