Haha, it is kind of like that episode, but with a more wholesome relationship dynamic. I'd say Jack is a great person to do an imitation of. He has such a vibrant/distinctive voice.

2024-08-13 01:36:40 +0000 UTCWhen you mentioned crashing through a window, the first thing I thought of was that moment in the Ed Harrington episode, where the guy just walks straight through the glass door. 😅 I had to double-check that one to see that it was indeed written by Rod.

2024-08-13 01:35:31 +0000 UTCThe first segment was another take on the episode “What’s in the Box.” That’s the one where William Demerest and Joan Blondel have a dysfunctional marriage and a creepy tv repairman “fixes” their tv. What’s funny about that is that during the next segment, you actually asked “what’s in the box?” at one point. Jack Palance is one of my favorite actors. I think I could probably do a good imitation of him.

2024-08-06 11:49:08 +0000 UTCI remember Carol Serling finding the scripts back in the nineties was big news. IIRC there was a bidding war from interested studios. Richard Matheson (Nightmare at 20,000 ft., Little Girl Lost, Death Ship, among others) probably only had an outline of a few paragraphs to work with on The Theater. The color palate of Where the Dead Are is indeed a bit off-putting. The sepia tint was probably meant to indicate age and a time long past. We will probably never know if it was a direction from the script or the director. Patrick Bergin was heading for stardom after his role opposite Julia Roberts in Sleeping With The Enemy. Amy Irving was Mrs. Steven Spielberg until he laid eyes on Kate Capshaw while filming Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. One last note: It wouldn't be a Rod Serling story without someone crashing through a window.
