SynopsisThis work explores the origins of Rod Serling's 1970s' television series, ""Night Gallery"". The authors also offer production detail, behind-the-scenes material, critical commentary, off-screen anecdotes, complete cast and credit listings, and synopses of all 43 episodes., In the early 1970s, Emmy-winning dramatist Rod Serling followed his landmark television series, The Twilight Zone, with Night Gallery. This multisegment foray into the macabre proved to be a new forum for Serling's unique brand of storytelling. In chronicling the turbulent history behind this innovative program, authors Scott Skelton and Jim Benson provide fascinating production detail and behind-the-scenes material, with critical commentary, complete cast and credit listings, and synopses of all ninety-eight episodes. Containing more than one hundred photographs-some never before published-this book is spiced with anecdotes from such film and television luminaries as Leonard Nimoy, John Astin, Sydney Pollack, Roddy McDowall, Richard Kiley, and Leslie Nielsen. Rod Serling's Night Gallery: An After-Hours Tour offers the first comprehensive overview of a significant entry in the annals of classic television., When CBS cancelled Serling's series, ""The Twilight Zone"", Serling sought a similar concept in ""Night Gallery"" in the early 1970s as a new forum for his brand of storytelling, a mosaic of classic horror and fantasy tales. In this work, the authors explore the genesis of the series and provide production detail and behind-the-scenes material. They offer critical commentary and off-screen anecdotes for every episode, complete cast and credit listings, and synopses of all 43 episodes. Also featured are interviews with television personalities including Roddy McDowall, John Astin, Richard Kiley and John Badham.
