alternating between:

Hammer House Of Horror and Night Gallery

Shows like this seem to be a lost art. Maybe it has to do with that whole "quality" thing.

Got all seasons of Night Gallery and they all play fine. Love the show, many excellent stories/episodes. Some of my faves were Pickman's Model and Aunt Ida (she was a witch) I also love the paintings and looked into buying one. There was an auction but it was out of my price range. :(

After completing the series I bought Hammers House of Horrors. For the most part they weren't quite as good as NG, but there were a few stand out gems in the series- the one with the werewolf in particular:)

"My Favorite Martian" season 1.  Omigosh, I missed this show and it is so great to watch it again after so many years!  Still very funny and very weird, and Bill Bixby and Ray Walston work well together.
Beautiful moving, shifting colors!

10 Fan-Favorite episodes of Boris Karloff hosting "Thriller" --
the episodes are terrific, except for the fact that the music is
much too loud when it is part of a scene.

Thriller is excellent. Don't limit yourself to ten episodes. Watch the whole series.

Yeah HH, I watched them when they were on back in the early 60's, but I was only 7, 8 and 9 years old so I couldn't fully appreciate the show. The DVD I'm watching was a good enough deal ($10 for 10 episodes), but I agree I'll have to get the whole set with all 67 episodes.

A few months ago I ordered The Fugitive "Most Wanted Edition". It's a massive set (no, not as massive as The Dark Shadows set!). Loved the show when it originally aired. It's a very good set. The DVD releases seemed cursed or something. The individual season sets were panned due to music rights issues, consequently forcing CBS to alter the music cues. Finally things got fixed and this set was issued a couple of years ago. Then it was immediately recalled! It was eventually re-released with corrections. THEN it became apparent that some of the discs were defective. Incredible. So CBS initiated a program for replacement of the five screwed-up discs. So I got the set and the replacement discs. I've now made it through all 130 episodes. At first I lamented that it wasn't on blu-ray. After all, CBS produced a couple of the greatest blu-ray TV sets ever: Star Trek TOS, and The Twilight Zone. Once I settled in with the SD (and put my plasma into "cinema mode") the shows were very enjoyable and totally watchable. The set also includes a CD with the original score by Pete Rugolo. It's mono but sounds like you're right there in the London studio as the material was performed. It's also interesting (for Outer Limits fans) to notice the fairly frequent music cues by Dominic Frontiere. It's weird to see Dr. Kimble sneaking around with OL music in the background.

Best Of Dark Shadows: The Haunting Of Collinwood

The more I watch this the more the nostalgia monster rips at my innards. I may have to pick up that gargantuan complete collection on DVD. Can of worms....opened.

I just watched a couple of Jonny Quest episodes yesterday. That's total nostalgia, and a nice DVD set.
