Night Gallery	comment	An (initially) hour-long Horror and Speculative Fiction anthology series, hosted by Rod Serling, which ran on NBC for three seasons (1970â€“73). Each episode includes multiple segments tied together by the Framing Device of a gallery of paintings inspired by the featured stories. The stories include both originals (many written by Serling) and adaptations of works from the likes of Richard Matheson, Fritz Leiber, Basil Copper, and H. P. Lovecraft. (The segments "Cool Air" and "Pickman's Model" are the first, and still the most famous, Lovecraft adaptations made for television.)Unusually for the format,note and, oddly, bearing a certain resemblance to Sketch Comedy the individual segments are not of a set length. They range from one-minute vignettes to long stories taking up most of an episode's run time, and everything in between; the number of segments per episode therefore varies accordingly.Although the show was subject to Executive Meddling from the very beginning (much to Serling's displeasure; unlike with The Twilight Zone, he didn't have creative control), the third season saw the most of this (and possibly a bit of Screwed by the Network), with episodes reduced to half an hour in length and the show's timeslot moved from Wednesday to Sunday. It was canceled midway through the season.In syndication, the run was stretched by adding repackaged stories from the short-lived Paranormal Investigation show The Sixth Sense and by splitting the first two seasons' episodes into half hours. The latter change led to heavy re-editing, with longer stories cut down and shorter ones padded to fit the new length.

That is, she's a dead woman who is haunting the husband (John Astin) that killed her because, among all the things he hated about her, her voice was the number one thing he couldn't stand. It turns out he's dead too, and his punishment in Hell is her heaven, where she can just keep talking, and talking, and talking, and he can't do a thing about it.

He's well aware that his cowardice was unforgivable, and can give no excuse other than that he was out of his mind with fear. He's also been damned for his deed, and is cursed to float forever on the ocean, from doomed ship to doomed ship throughout history.

He does so - and proceeds to swap places with him, trapping the husband's soul in the attic while taking control his body. He then proceeds to attack the woman for being such an annoying nag.

Night Gallery / int_234073a4	comment	Your Mind Makes It Real: "The Dead Man", which revolves around a hypnotist working with an unusually strong hypochondriac, who can show extensive symptoms of any sickness through hypnotic programming, far beyond what psychosomatic symptoms are capable of. The hypnotist intends to have him simulate death, to see if a man can be brought back from beyond brain death. He can. From death far longer than the hypnotist intended. "Finnegan's Flight" runs along the same lines, only with both the hypnotist and his patient being prisoners. Pete Tully demonstrates to the prison doctor that Finnegan has such great suggestibility that he gets blisters on his hands if told under hypnosis that he's put them into scalding water. Later, he hypnotizes Finnegan into imagining a jet flight, only for him to start suffering symptoms of hypoxia from being too high. When Tully tries to bring him down, Finnegan can't imagine landing safely and burns alive in the imagined crash.

Night Gallery / int_9c45b5a2	comment	What Measure Is a Non-Human?: "You Can't Get Help Like That Anymore" centers around an employment office that offers robotic servants to consumers, and one particularly assholish couple who want their robotic maid replaced after it "broke down". This particularly pisses off one of the head technicians, who sees through their lies and outright says they abused and tortured the robot. The head of the company writes off his concerns... until he gets a better look at the latest damaged robot. The second half of the story pushes this further: the couple, the Fultons, have their new maid clean up the mess from their party that night, and they immediately start to abuse it... until it's made clear that this one has self-preservation instincts.

Another example from the same episode: it's established that Herbie can't predict further than one day into the future. This provides an early clue that he's lying when he predicts that things will improve from here on out. In "Green Fingers", Mrs. Bowen tells the developer how she once planted a piece of wood that started growing. This hints what will happen when she plants her fingers. In a sense, Rod Serling appearing in the painting for "Midnight Never Ends" acts as this to the episode's twist. A meta painting, for a meta story, if you will.

Night Gallery / int_d99a228f	type	Unusually Uninteresting Sight
Night Gallery / int_d99a228f	comment	Unusually Uninteresting Sight: Many of the comedy episodes use this trope as part of the humor. In "A Midnight Visit to the Blood Bank," a vampire sneaks up on an unsuspecting woman. Just as he's about to bite, she calmly tells him that she already donated to a local blood bank. He makes a note, apologizes, and leaves. In "Room for One Less," no one on a crowded elevator is all that surprised when a demon straight from the depths of Hell suddenly manifests in the car. If anything, they're more annoyed at the creature for breaking the rule about the ten-person maximum capacity. Downplayed in "Miss Lovecraft Sent Me." The babysitter isn't fazed by the obviously-vampiric father she chats with, nor the decor (straight out of a haunted house) in his mansion. However, when she notices that his reflection is missing from the mirror, she becomes unnerved, and the thought of having to face the monstrous thing that she's expected to take care of is enough to get her running, albeit relatively calmly.

When he goes upstairs to get his son ready to see her, she eavesdrops and hears him urging the boy to put on his slippers...all four of them. That proves more than enough for the babysitter, and she rushes off into the night as fast as possible.

Night Gallery / int_e9e35e8f	comment	Exact Words: The titular "Other Way Out": the bullet the Old Man gives for Bradley Meredith's gun. From the same episode, but earlier, the Old Man tells Bradley Meredith (the guy who killed his granddaughter) that someone named "Sonny" is going to come by soon to see him die. Sonny, the Old Man's grandson, does in fact come by near the end to see him die... as in, being left alone in a pit he can't get out of... with the aforementioned gun. In "Lindemann's Catch", a fortune teller sells Lindemann a potion that will give his mermaid human legs. It works...but it moves the fish part of her to the upper half of her body. The criminal in "Dead Weight" is promised by a smuggler that he will get him "out of the country" after he accidentally kills a little boy during a bank robbery and wants to escape prosecution. He gets out, all right... by being murdered, ground up, put in the meat mixture for the smuggler's brand of dog food, and is taken "out of the country" on a barge that is shipping the brand overseas. In "Room For One Less," a group of passengers on a crowded elevator get a surprise when a monstrous fiend manifests out of nowhere. One guy, surprisingly nonplussed, scolds the demon and points out the sign saying that only ten people are allowed on the elevator at once. The demon obliges...by obliterating the man with his powers, thus following the rules.
