Serling ripped off "The Case of Mr. Pellham" when he penned "Mirror Image" with Vera Miles. But Serling ripped off everyone from Shakespeare to Oscar Wilde.
Alfred Hitchcock Presents, although it is NOT "second" to TZ; just an equally great
anthology series.
"Night Gallery" is cheesy and mostly awful. Serling hated being part of it.
Sorry, but Collins, as beautiful as she is, lacks Moorehead's acting chops.
Yep, it's you (your description of me as "cranky" and "bitchy" totally reveal the "real" me).
To me, the angel is very unique - the guy who replicated it for me spent more than a year doing so. It's exact in
size, color (olive green) and detail.
Nobody seems as interested in it as me...most fans discuss the blue china or the red candy dish (which
stood on the kitchen/bar divider).
Never thought about the extra close-ups, but I believe that's pretty much limited to those first two or three Tabitha
eps. I agree the décor in the first two years is classier (and in black-and-white, thank you), but I LOVE the Gabriel angel on the weathervane. So much so, I had a replica (exactly down to every detail) made by a wonderful artist in
Australia. It hangs in my kitchen.
I think that snoring teaser is one of those weak ones that has zero to do with the main plot (isn't it the teaser for the return of Charlie Leach? Funny two-parter, but here, it's only a so-so ep in which Endora turns a female client into a cat. Pretty hum-drum).
Wish Randy was in on this. He preferred Judy's solo version from her concert TV episode, which is admittedly
rawer and far more dramatic. But I love Judy's cool, restrained, yet equally powerful performance from
the Horne hour.
P.S.: I lost Randy's personal email address, so I have no idea if he'll find us here, Mike. Hope the OTHER
one doesn't!! God be with us there.
Depends on how you look at it. Today, Ralph would definitely be considered a comic "gay" character, just as
Uncle Arthur would. But in those days, even HE was supposed to be straight (in his last appearance - a truly
fun episode - he is engaged and in LUST with Aretha).
I'm acquainted with a guy who works high up a at Warner Brothers, and he said the studios put MEGA pressure
on imdb to rid themselves of the board because too much negativity was costing money in box office returns.
And think about it: WHY would imdb, which makes a fortune in advertising, pull the plug on so many thousands,
upon thousands, upon thousands, of posters??? You better believe they were pressured.
I, for one, haven't logged onto the site since the boards were dropped. Before that, I was on several times
a day.
You must be psychic!! Just two nights ago, I watched "A Nice Little Dinner Party," the first episode (I believe) in
which Sam zaps Darrin onto the couch (for a minor reason, btw - both had admitted that Endora created problems
and that "it was a mistake to bring our parents together"). For the first time - ever- I thought, 'don't they have
a guest room???' And, later, Frank admits that HE slept on the couch because Phyllis was angry when he came
home late from the theater with Endora. Again, no guest room?
I think it initially works because Sam isn't just zapping him out of the bed - she's zapping him off of the second
floor AND into discomfort. But why does Darrin always STAY on the couch all night? Maybe he's afraid?
I never cared for Mary Grace Canfield. While she was a hoot on "Green Acres" (possibly TV's first lesbian
character?), I found her awkward on BW. She was obviously just reciting lines written for Pearce ("but Abner
never believes Alice. But YOU believer her (me) don't you?" Yeah, awkward. BTW, Canfield played the
role during Pearce's final days, AND after her death.
Gould made the role her own, and like her or not (I know many don't), she played Gladys with her own zip.
Funny, I prefer the TV show version (guest Lean Horne), alongside ASIB. But Carnegie is great, too.
I like this episode, especially the actors cast for it. But as far as Hamner goes, I feel his best script, while derivative of the pilot, is "Stopover in a Quiet Town." Love the old "Carvel" MGM backlot, used in all those Mickey Rooney/Judy
Garland movies.
Hmn...If we're all using our old screen names from imdb, why aren't you? How do we know
you're not an imposter.
If you want to convince me , post something you know about me from imdb.
Let's hope we keep "you-know-who" outta here.
It's so similar to when imdb first started out. It will get popular soon, and will have tons of
posters, so I'm just grateful it's here! It will probably become too "clique-ish" like imdb,
but that's to be expected.
Yes, just saw that they're gone. Really feels weird. And it just stinks.
Well, gosh darn it, I'm here, too!
