I remembered The Martian Chronicles when it was on tv on Saturday nights when i was a kid. Very disappointed when i watched the series on dvd. What i recalled was a single episode - the rest in my opinion was a bit dull.

Yes it was a disappointing adaptation of Ray Bradbury's book with some truly risible SFX. The book is in actual fact a series of short stories that make up the 'chronicles' and to be honest not the best source material for a series of this sort. Even when Bradbury writes futuristic Sf he does it with a profound undercurrent of nostalgia which the producers of this series tried but failed to capture.

PS by coincidence I've just finished reading Bradbury's short 'ghost' story The Lake which I'd recommend to anyone to seek out... a masterpiece!

The Lake sounds interesting.
