I love Night Gallery. I like it even though it has its faults. Except those flipping two / three minute gag stories in Season Two that Jack Laird wrote.
Tim Riley's Bar is amazing, The Doll is great cheesy fun too from Season One.
Season Two's patchy but The Caterpillar is an incredible episode. Also give Pickman's Model and A Fear Of Spiders a go.
I think the writing isn't as strong in Night Gallery as Twilight Zone but when it works it's really effective.
The pay-off at the end of The Doll is really creepy, but also a lot of fun.
