Well i have some data left on my phone so thought i would stream something on Amazon Prime-well i know it got cancelled but decided on first episode of Swamp Thing i really loved the comics-awesome effects is all i can say...it must get really bad to have got cancelled. Nope it gets better, great series which networks should be fighting over to revive on another network. This, The Boys, Umbrella Academy are three shows i highly recommend checking out my friend.

It wasn't cancelled because it was bad. Just poor ratings then? Well it was cancelled after the first episode. There are various rumours as to why, budget for example. But I don't think it was due to the quality after just one episode!

Night Gallery: "Whisper" - Sally Field can, like, channel spirits or something? And Dean Stockwell is her husband who runs around after her. I'm not entirely sure what was going on. I think the idea is Sally couldn't come back after one last possession. Stockwell at times spoke directly to the camera as though the audience were spirits, so that was kinda neat I guess.

Night Gallery: Season 3, Episodes 14-15 - Series finale! What a weird bunch of stories. Firstly some lady leaves her fiance at the altar to go live on a boat with some Spanish dude. Cue voodoo revenge. Poorly written and bizarre.
Then! Then. The first story in the final episode is about a pair of conservationists on safari who find a gorilla some tribesmen have trapped in a pit. The husband decides, based on nothing, that the gorilla hates him. So he frakking takes the gorilla back to America and stores him in the Natural History Museum's basement for some reason. And the guy gets suspicious his wife is taking the gorilla's side in all this. "That miserable gorilla is breaking up our marriage!" Actual dialogue. And then he gets into a fight to the death with the gorilla. This summary doesn't do it justice. It's one of the dumbest things I've ever seen.
Then the series wraps up with a one-minute comedy Dracula vignette that isn't funny. Die as you lived, Night Gallery.
Overall, yeah. The show mustered up some pretty good/memorable stories over the course of its run, but like a solid 2/3 of it is mediocre to strangely bad. I wouldn't recommend it. Stick to the '59 Twilight Zone for your Rod Serling fix.
Night Gallery: "Die Now, Pay Later" - Yeah, I'm not actually done, there's a small handful of stories that only aired in syndication and not on original broadcast. So here I am still watching the damn show after the series finale. Anyway, a small-town sheriff gets suspicious when the local mortality rate spikes after the undertaker announces an end of year sale. I liked it because the cop is played by Slim Pickens and that's worth a few points alone.

Star Trek: The Animated Series: "Yesteryear" - The One With Spock's Past. This episode is so good even fans who otherwise ignore TAS will count this one.
Star Trek: The Animated Series: "One of Our Planets is Missing" - The crew must race against time to stop a massive, planet-eating cloud creature. Another fine example of TAS' best and goes to show they were making Star Trek first and a cartoon second.
MASH: "Five O'Clock Charlie" - Another great episode wherein a hapless North Korean pilot shows up at five every day to make an unsuccessful attempt to bomb the 4077th's ammo dump.
Columbo: "Lovely But Lethal" - Martin Sheen and Vincent Price? Where do I sign up?

There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

Star Trek TOS: Journey To Babel. Great fun with a solid mix of A and B plots as well as adding to the mythology of the show.
Friday’s Child. Some great ideas and a welcome return of the Klingons but McCoy is quite a bit of a d*ck in this one.

He seems to be doing what he genuinely thinks is best for his people and I love the trap at the end. Where do I get me one of those scimitar-discs?

Yeah: aside from Kirk validating McCoy’s treatment of Eleen it’s not a bad story at all. The aliens of the week (I think they hunted muppets going by what they were wearing) had a fair amount of depth to them and the peril felt real. D.C. Fontana wrote some of the better episodes and she had a really good grasp of what made good Trek.

Strange thing is, Fontana also wrote Charlie X, which had Kirk discuss with the boy how there's "no right way to hit a woman." Quite right too, so the 'treatment' here by Bones is certainly odd. Both for the character and the writer.

MASH: Season 2, Episodes 3-4: Radar files his report on the camp's weekly goings-on; Hawkeye and Trapper try to force the military to admit guilt for a friendly-fire incident on a Korean village.
Star Trek: The Animated Series: "More Tribbles, More Troubles": An enjoyable bit of fluff, and one of the best examples of this show's penchant for coloring things pink that have no right to be.

Pennyworth episode 1. Thought this was going to be terrible but it was actually good fun. Looking forward to watching the rest of it.
