ROD SERLING'S NIGHT GALLERY
- ROD SERLING'S NIGHT GALLERY
US tv series (1970-72). A Jack Laird Production for Universal TV/NBC. Created Rod SERLING. 93 plays: the 1969 2-hour pilot had 3 plays; season 1, part of a mixture of dramas called Four-in-One, consisted of 6 50min episodes containing 2-3 playlets; season 2, under the Rod Serling's Night Gallery title, had 23 of the same sort of 50min episodes; season 3 had 1625min episodes, each with 1 playlet. Colour.
Created by Rod Serling - who in the early 1960s had made the series The TWILIGHT ZONE - RSNG was primarily made up of supernatural stories but did contain a small number of sf episodes; many of the plays were scripted by Serling from original stories by such writers as C.M. KORNBLUTH, Fritz LEIBER, H.P. LOVECRAFT and A.E. VAN VOGT, and Richard MATHESON scripted several other segments. One of the 3 plays in the pilot, starring Joan Crawford, was StevenSPIELBERG's debut; other directors included John BADHAM, Leonard Nimoy and Jeannot Szwarc. After a time Serling lost creative control and grew to dislike the series, the studio requiring more monsters and fewer subtleties; however, he continued to introduce it, strolling through a sinister art gallery and pointing to a relevant painting before each play began. RSNG was on the whole a disappointment after The Twilight Zone. 2 collections of stories by Serling were series spin-offs:
Night Gallery * (coll 1971) and Night Gallery 2 * (coll 1972). Also relevant is RodSerling's Night Gallery Reader * (anth 1987) ed Carol Serling (Serling's widow) with Martin H. GREENBERG and Charles G. WAUGH.
