On display before you is an odd and mercurial item titled Season 3 in what is known as the Night Gallery. After a disappointing second season NBC renovated the Gallery; cutting it down to a half an hour with one story per show (with a couple of exceptions), along with a new opening and new theme music. Disillusioned, creator & host Rod Serling had all but given up on the series, delivering some of his most lackluster and cliché introductions. And the writing isn’t that ambitious either, though there are a few interesting and frightful tales; such as “The Girl with the Hungry Eyes,” “Rare Objects,” “The Other Way Out,” and “Whisper.” There are also several notable guest stars who are featured, including Vincent Price, Bill Bixby, Mickey Rooney, Burl Ives, Leonard Nimoy, and Sally Field. While the studio had clearly lost confidence in the series, Night Gallery was still able to put together a decent third season that recaptured some of Serling’s original vision.
