Nov 13 11 1:26 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	wow, tough choice between Hitch and Serling (why wasnt Night Gallery added?). Hitch was much more sophisticated, subtle and amusing, but Serling still gets my vote for story-consistency and his sincerity. "...Now, that's the clinical answer that they put on the tag as they take him away. But if you choose to think that the explanation has to do with an airborne Flying Dutchman, a ghost ship on a fog-enshrouded night on a flight that never ends, then you're doing your business in an old stand in the Twilight Zone."

Oct 8 12 9:24 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Serling, Hitchcock and Karloff are all top notch. I went with Karloff because he does a great job and I have the set. Hitchcock spoofed himself better than anyone and was a very fine host. Serling may ultimately be the best as he was a great host for TWO anthology programs with NIGHT GALLERY. Of course, Karloff also did THE VEIL, and hosted it well. I probably truly went with Karloff more out of familiarity- he may have been the second or third best in the long run. Also, I would love to see the Dahl series...

Though I loved the "Control Voice" from OUTER LIMITS, I somehow don't put that in the same category as the others? Unfortunately I've never seen LIGHTS OUT or WAY OUT, so can't really judge them.
