For all afficionados of TV, this site is great.

They neglected to include Roald Dahl's "Way Out", but I won't hold that against them! Very Happy

Ah, but "Woman of the Phoenix", they did include Twilight Zone - wonderful site!

Now, what was the name of that other Roald Dahl series? I want to look it up but I can't remember the blasted name - do you know it? It was a long time ago, but was kinda creepy in the way the original TZ was and he was the host in the same way Rod Serling was for TZ...

Nope- Like I said it was called, "Way Out", and it WAS way out!

If you are in Manhattan, you can view some of the episodes at the Museum of Television and Radio:

For years I searched for a certain episode, which haunted me for years. It was called "The Overnight Case", and I just recently found it.

Now, now, Phoenix, perhaps Viv and I have another in mind, and this would be Tales of the Unexpected:

I've just examined their treatment of one of my all time favorite series: Have Gun Will Travel. Very well done. Thanks for the link, phoenix.
