Occasionally, I think about revisiting Ray Bradbury Theater. My original takes were pretty negative. As mentioned yesterday, maybe my expectations were too high. Maybe I was in a rush to post every day back then. Maybe it was due to the very poor transfers on the $9 DVDs.
I remembered that they are on Amazon Prime, so decided to try a couple. When I saw the disrespect Amazon gives the series, I started to think maybe I was right. These icons are exactly as they currently appear on Amazon, and they have been there for quite a while.
I’m pretty sure that 3rd picture is Saul Rubinek from the dreadful episode Gotcha!.
Carol Kane and Shelley Duvall were only in 1 episode each, so I don’t know how they were both in 2 different seasons. And wearing the same clothes.
Leslie Nielsen’s name is misspelled.
But most likely to prevent me from watching it again:
You know what is sad ?
That there really are so few new shows anymore for you to evaluate on traditional TV .
It’s a wasteland now of silly talk shows and game shows .
People not inclined —-or without the resources ——to purchase Cable etc are lost in a Sea of Stupid.
Fir quite awhile when I first began watching METV Twilight Zone and Hitchcock I would run over to your reviews to see what you had to say. .
Alias iwas the last Mystery show I cared to follow.
Thanks for the nice comments. I just bought a TV after 10 years without one. I was shocked at how much junk was on the air.
I have thought about posting about an METV show like Land of the Giants or The Rifleman. If you have any suggestions, let me know.
Pairing your reviews with my watching of RBT was the only thing motivating me to complete the series. I was looking forward to more reviews of The New Outer Limits series. I did not see any reviews for Season 6. Will you be completing those not reviewed yet, or did I miss them somewhere?
That’s great to hear. I hit a wall on Outer Limits. The 60 minute runtime was a killer. Also, I stalled on an episode that I just couldn’t get a grip on. Maybe because it starred the great Nathen Fillion and had a clever script. I had thought about trying it again, but it doesn’t seen to be streaming anywhere now. Thanks for stopping by.
It’s on Comet TV for me.

Still appreciate the comment that went something like this: “it was a large, mostly empty, decaying concrete building, kind of like a Sears.”
Oof, those icons!
O’Toole looks distraught to be associated with this show!
The modest number of episodes I watched were mostly odd rather than good, though you could tell Barrymore was a star in the making.
