As the story goes - (Back in 1964) - TV's "The Twilight Zone" was cancelled mainly due to its host and creator, Rod Serling having often voiced his rapidly dwindling interest in continuing to be part of the series' production. So, with that in mind - I do find it kinda odd, indeed, that 5 years later (1969) Serling would return to television, hosting a program that (IMO) was a blatant rip-off of "The Twilight Zone". Yes. These 1-hour "Night Gallery" episodes (filmed in colour) did have some interesting plot-lines - But their stories were generally badly realized by too much weak script-writing. And, besides that (from my perspective) - With Serling hosting the show - He appeared to be noticeably bored with what he was doing. *Note* - Rod Serling died within less than 2 years following Night Gallery's cancellation in 1973. He was just 50 years old at the time.
