A little too much doom and gloom!

I guess Night Gallery does not hold up to Twilight Zone because of all of the downer endings. The Boy Who Predicted Earthquakes is a good example. Terrible ending. Very preachy about what rotten people human beings are. I guess I like to look at the positive things in people and believe there is a lot of good in people. Don't lump human kind in as one evil thing. The Ozzie & Harriet episode was terrible. Ozzie was great, but the way it ended was terrible. I always loved Ozzie & Harriet and was very upset. There was also an episode where a father was shown as a hateful human being who wanted to see his son kill an animal and then he would give him his fortune. Just a total waste of my time watching that episode. I guess Rod Serling hates people who hunt.

There were exceptions where the endings worked. The Mickey Rooney episode where he was a gangster was very good. The episode with Carl Betz as the man experimenting with a young man was excellent. The episode with Burl Ives who lured Stuart Whitman to his home was excellent.

A lot of the other episodes were just average. I still have most of season 2 to watch. Hopefully there is better material coming. I do remember an episode where they reversed the story used in Eye of the Beholder from Twilight Zone. That was a good one.
