List of episodes edit

Is there a list of Night Gallery episodes on Wikipedia? If so, there should be a prominent link on this article. --Elonka 19:18, 22 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

I would like to see that as well. In the paragraphic list of example episodes, it's stated that one of Serling's teleplays was "Cool Air". Since NG produced several Lovecraft adaptations, I'd like some verification that this is not in fact Lovecraft's "Cool Air". If it's Lovecraft's, it belongs in the second group ("non-Serling efforts") and should not be included as a Serling teleplay. [EDIT] Never mind, the "Cool Air" article answers the question. Although Serling wrote the teleplay, should this be moved in with the "non-Serling efforts", or does that refer to the person adapting the story (in which case the "Cool Air" reference should stay where it is)?12.22.250.4 22:52, 14 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

I just added a list to this article.76.93.80.45 (talk) 06:08, 30 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Unfortunately, this isn't a list of episodes, as claimed; it's a list of stories presented within episodes. More of an effort should be made to distinguish the actual episodes (instead of requiring the reader to compare all the original broadcast dates), or the section should be retitled "List of stories" or "List of plots". 12.233.146.130 (talk) 22:33, 1 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

Follow up series edit

"Night Gallery is Rod Serling’s follow-up series to The Twilight Zone". This opening sentence is, in my view, just bizarre. The concept of a "follow up series", which I guess means a series that someone does after their previous series, is just meaningless. As I said in my edit summary, such phrasing does not appear to be universally used here, and I'm sure for good reason. Consider:

  • If we decide that the series following up another is the "follow up", what about a series after that? Is it the follow up to the follow up? Or will we relegate this neologism only to those who have created exactly two series?
  • Serling's role on Night Gallery, while dominant, was not (as the article mentions), the same as he had on Twilight Zone. With these different roles, is it really his "follow up"? (whatever the heck that means).
  • Along the same lines, is a "follow up" series the follow up of its creator, producer, or head writers? Not at all clear, since the use of this term is a form of original research.
  • What about spin-offs? Is Mork & Mindy a "follow up series" to Happy Days?

I'm going to put my edit back in, and I ask for the courtesy of an explanation the next time someone reverts me. 98.71.255.6 (talk) 17:01, 30 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Steven Spielberg? edit

Wait...Spielberg also directed a pilot episode segment? I thought the only segment he directed was "Make Me Laugh" in a later episode? --RThompson82 (talk) 04:16, 22 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Book Section edit

This section reads like an advertising promo, rather than an encyclopedic article entry. 151.148.122.100 (talk) 18:54, 18 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

It was a copyvio, inserted by a problematic anon IP, 74.60.187.122, who has inserted copyvios on multiple pages. I've removed it, and given him what turns out to be at least his second warning in two months.--Tenebrae (talk) 22:35, 18 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

The painters edit

Jaroslov "Jerry" Gebr had nothing to do with the series itself - - - only with the pilot movie.

As such, his name should be removed from the parenthetical in the first paragraph of the "Format" section. 2600:8800:785:2A00:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 05:12, 22 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Detailed synopsis and review edit

While likely not reliable enough to be in the main article I would like to note Written by David Juhl which gives detailed synopses and reviews ofthe stories.--174.99.238.22 (talk) 10:47, 17 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
