No mention of Night Gallery, a watchable reprise of Twilight-Zoney themes for a season or two in the early 70s. Used to come on after Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In, I think.

I hate the Spielberg Twilight Zone episodes they broadcast after Serling died. They were horrible. Basically they relied on special effects and the storylines were just afterthoughts. They (NOT conservatives) just didn't understand the IDEAS behind the Twighlight Zone.

Night Gallery looked like vintage Serling, but according to the special it wasn't his show. He was just the onscreen host, and was peeved about not having creative control or input. It looks like Serling did get
writer's credit on most of the segments, so it's not clear how much ground there might be for any resentment. The special may have exaggerated the "failure" and "frustrated genius" side of Serling's life, and downplayed the satisfaction he got -- and deserved -- from his television work.
