Summary: Finally...and worth it!!
Comment: It took four years for Universal to release the 2nd season of NIGHT GALLERY, but the wait is worth it for some of the extras included. Season 1, released in 2004,was a bare-bones affair and according to one source, it's sales lagged and a release of season 2 was in doubt. In fact, the first set included two "bonus" 2nd season episode which left many to doubt if a season 2 set would even be released. However, here we are with Season 2-and it is considered by many to be the very best of the show's run. All episodes are restored and not in the truncated condition that many were seen in syndication in the mid to late 70's, when the show was edited to a half hour and,the Canadian Gary Collins show, THE SIXTH SENSE was for reasons of syndication, re-tooled to fit in as "Night Gallery" episodes, complete with new Rod Serling intros done after the original show was cancelled(and before his untimely death). The high points of this 2nd season are adaptations of some classic horror stories, several of which are by H.P. Lovecraft and the eerie "The Boy Who Could Predict Earthquakes" with it's completely unforgettable twist ending. Also, there are commentaries on episodes,by, most notably Guillermo Del Toro. And for the art fan, an entire gallery of Tom Wright's classic paintings seen on the shows is an extra. The episodes seem in fine shape with a good picture, save for two which are basically re-constructed and missing segments because the whereabouts of the masters is unknown. Some is better than none, I guess in those cases. Still, all in all, the set is a vast improvement from the first season, but perhaps the wait was worth it to re-launch it.

Summary: Season 2: Over 60 Stories!!!
Comment: Season 1 had only about 20 stories. Season 2 has over 60 stories! And they are not the chopped up edited versions you see on cable, these are the originals. There were 2 to 4 stories on each episode of the Night Gallery, and this is what you get here. This is the good stuff. And don't forget to get the Night Gallery book by Scott Skelton, it's huge and packed with insight on every eposide and much, much more. The book said they had enough material to go for 7 seasons, mostly short stories from horror magazines from the 1930s to the 1970s. Too bad the series was canceled shortly into the 3rd season. Nothing like it before or since.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Can't wait for season 3
Comment: I've almost finished watching all 5 DVD's. The show is just as good I remembered. Only second to the original Twilight Zone.
I hope it is not another 4 years before they release the 3rd season.
