Rod Serling's Night Gallery: Season Three (1972–73)
24 April 2012 12:36 PM, PDT | Planet Fury | See recent Planet Fury news »
Directed by: John Badham, Jeannot Szwarc, Timothy Galfas, Jack Laird
Written by: Rod Serling, Jack Laird, Halsted Welles, David Rayfiel
Starring: Rod Serling, Joanna Pettet, Burgess Meredith, Vincent Price, Bill Bixby, Geraldine Page
Rod Serling’s Night Gallery is a beloved cult series with a complicated history. It was Serling’s follow-up to his critically acclaimed Twilight Zone, which ran on CBS from 1959–64. Its eerie opening introduction featuring Serling in a dark gallery surrounded by dynamic, often disturbing paintings was the hallmark of the show. Serling would introduce new paintings (by gifted artist Tom Wright) each week, which would segue into a story that usually revolved around a supernatural or occult theme.
Night Gallery began its run with a well-received two-hour pilot on NBC in November 1969. The following year it was included as part of NBC’s Four-in-One programming wheel. It rotated every fourth Wednesday with The Psychiatrist, McCloud and San Francisco International Airport. »

Fringe, Ep. 4.18, “The Consultant”: Continued focus on character keeps series on track

Fringe Review, Season 4, Episode 18: “The Consultant”
Written by Christine Lavaf
Directed by Jeannot Szwarc
Airs Fridays at 9pm (Et) on Fox
This week, on Fringe: Walter takes a trip, Fauxlivia has a good poker face, and Foeyles isn’t a shapeshifter after all
Last week, Fringe gave us one of their best episodes of the season by focusing on character and substituting anonymous villains with far more personal threats. This trend continues in “The Consultant”, with Lincoln moved out of the spotlight in favor of Walter and Foeyles (the Other Broyles). However, while the previous episode kept a fairly leisurely pace, this week the tension is ratcheted up by the return of the man himself, David Robert Jones.
Lance Reddick has been a consistent strength of the series, when given the opportunity, but he’s been almost continually sidelined. In fact, we’ve gotten far more insight into »

Cinema Retro's Exclusive Interview With Bradford Dillman

Bradford Dillman: A Compulsively Watchable Actor
By Harvey Chartrand
In a career that has spanned 43 years, Bradford Dillman accumulated more than 500 film and TV credits. The slim, handsome and patrician Dillman may have been the busiest actor in Hollywood during the late sixties and early seventies, working non-stop for years. In 1971 alone, Dillman starred in seven full-length feature films. And this protean output doesn’t include guest appearances on six TV shows that same year.
Yale-educated Dillman first drew good notices in the early 1950s on the Broadway stage and in live TV shows, such as Climax and Kraft Television Theatre. After making theatrical history playing Edmund Tyrone in the first-ever production of Eugene O’Neill’s Long Day’s Journey into Night in 1956, Dillman landed the role of blueblood psychopath Artie Straus in the crime-and-punishment thriller Compulsion (1959), for which he »

Fringe Review, Season 4, Episode 8: “Back to Where You’ve Never Been”
Written by David Fury and Graham Roland
Directed by Jeannot Szwarc
Airs Fridays at 9pm (Et) on Fox
This week, on Fringe: Peter crosses over to the Other Universe, Lincoln plays Clincoln, and shapeshifters are once again up to no good
After a long break, the best sci-fi series going is back. This week’s episode was intended as the fall finale, but when the best Game Six in World Series history shook up the schedule last October, it was pushed ‘til now. Its original position in the season is easy to spot- with its fantastic ending, “Back to Where You’ve Never Been” would have functioned excellently as a tease to take the audience through the hiatus and may have resulted in the series getting a bit more end-of-year list love. It’s not a perfect episode, »

CW's "Supernatural" and A Look into the "Adventures in Babysitting:" A Television Review
8 January 2012 7:30 AM, PST | 28 Days Later Analysis | See recent 28 Days Later Analysis news »
*spoiler alert.
Director: Jeannot Szwarc.
Writer: Adam Glass.
When memories from one particular bad 80's film gets conjured forth with "Adventures in Babysitting" as the title, some viewers may wonder just what writer Adam Glass has planned? Thankfully, the story that he has constructed is nothing like the movie of the same name. Instead, the title is an allusion to the relationship that Bobby had with Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) Winchester when they were very young. With this episode, the role of parent and child gets turned around.
Yes, Bobby is dead. And everything he has taught the boys needs to be passed on to another generation. Chrissy (Madison McLaughlin, “The Mentalist”), a 14-year old, has seen her fair share of deaths and has been trained to be a Hunter—these are details that Dean will eventually realize he is very uncomfortable with.

Supernatural Ep. 7.11, “Adventures in Babysitting” needs more adventures and more babysitting

Supernatural Review, Season 7, Episode 11, “Adventures in Babysitting”
Written by Adam Glass
Directed by Jeannot Szwarc
This week, on Supernatural: Sam goes to help a friend of Bobby’s and Dean teams up with Frank to follow up on Bobby’s final message.
One of the problems serialized shows run into in the American network TV schedule is that of pace. For procedurals, having 22+ episodes isn’t necessarily an issue. However, when writers try to perform the increasingly popular balancing act of mostly-standalone-with-serialized-elements-that-build-towards-a-finale, having such a large order can be troublesome. This week’s episode of Supernatural is a perfect example, with its lack of narrative balance and drive.
The standalone case, that of a young girl whose Hunter father has disappeared, is interesting and fun, but not fleshed out enough to fill an episode. The serialized elements, the ripples from Bobby’s death and the continuing mystery of the Leviathans, »
