I finally got around to watching some more episodes.
The House Nice twist. Didn't see it coming, but it drug on a bit. But again, an interesting twist reminiscent of Twilight Zone
Certain Shadows on the Wall This was a bit more interesting. I thought it was going to go one way, but then it didn't. So it kept me guessing how it was going to all pan out.
Make Me Laugh I was doing laundry while I was watching all of these, and at the start I really couldn't care to get into it. I just let it play on even when I wasn't in the room.
Clean Kills and Other Trophies Now this was a good one. Though Raymond Massey really played a *ick in this. I was watching it, hoping he got his just reward. And the plot of the episode did just that. I don't think I recognized any of the actors in this, but they all played damn good roles. Easily my favorite of the bunch that I watched yesterday.
Pamela's Voice I very short segment with John Astin and Phyllis Diller. Another good surprise twist episode like Twilight Zone. It was the shortest segment I have seen so far, but it was good. It made it's sociological point and that was enough.
Lone Survivor So I am watching this episode and the Captain of the ship's voice is very familiar to me. But he didn't really look familiar. So I can't wait for the credits so I look up Torin Thatcher and I'm like "Seventh Voyage of Sinbad!" He was Sokurah. No wonder I didn't recognize him in a military uniform. And the episode was pretty good.
I've got one more segment of an episode and then one more episode, and I'll have to wait for a new disc to get here from Netflix to watch more.

Though I missed Night Gallery when it was first aired (too young), I remember seeing re-runs in the late '80's on network TV. Much later (around 2010-2012), I enjoyed seeing the three seasons on DVD. Great series, and instead of just being a "Twilight Zone for the '70's", it really had a unique vibe/tone all it's own. I liked the horror/suspense aspect to the show, and thought the paintings that introduced each episode were amazing. I actually would like to see a large coffee-table book containing all of the paintings seen in each episode - great artwork! I enjoyed all of the episodes, though stand-out ones included these from the third season: "Return of the Sorceror" (Excellent!), "The Girl with the Hungry Eyes" (Creepy & Chilling), "The Ring with the Red Velvet Ropes", "Spectre in Tap Shoes", "Death on a Barge", and "Something in the Woodwork". Most of the episodes are permeated with a sense of creepy unease; the show is definitely head & shoulders above many more recent horror anthology TV series.
