I used to think “Night Gallery” was just a Twilight Zone reel dropped in a bottle of Jovan Musk, but it’s really much more. Here are a few deep cuts you’ll want to check out.

You left out THE DEAD MAN!
You also forgot to mention the Waiting Room and Camera Obscura
I LOVE The Waiting Room, Albert Salmi appearance.
what about The Tune in Dan’s Café, There Aren’t Anymore McBanes, and Green Fingers?
Tom, “McBanes” is a fantastic episode! I’ll need to make sure it gets a place on the list next time! I’ve been thinking about reviewing the individual seasons.
