[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 364458, member: 57984"] I've thought about that so often -- had they done a feature length version of "Eyes" with Crawford, directed by Spielberg with all those pan-and-blur artsy shots that NBC rejected, and the script (intended for Bette Davis) from Serling. In fact, they could have even called the feature length version itself THE NIGHT GALLERY, a pilot that might or might not sell, but one where the same title would work for both the pilot segment and subsequent series if there indeed was one (which, of course, there was). So we'd not only have a full 90 to 120 minute movie, it could possible even be released theatrically (as they used to sometimes do back, and like they did for THE GHOST OF SIERRA DE COBRE) if NBC decided not to pick it up as a series. Imagine Crawford living alone, quite blind and unable to see the priceless art work she's greedily collected in her uptown apartment suite despite -- or perhaps because of -- her inability to see them. She has surgery to briefly allow a moment of vision, and then the most legendary of NYC black-outs happens, one which occurred only hours after famed journalist and Crawford pal, Dorothy Kilgallen, died under wildly mysterious circumstances, her JFK investigative file (with the only interview with Jack Ruby) absconded with by government agents (according to the butler), and Crawford appeared at Dorothy's apartment before the police even arrived. So it's multi-leveled and whatnot. Then Crawford crashes through her picture window from many stories above Fifth Avenue or wherever. Yes, Joan's segment could and should have easily be expanded.[I] [/I] Perhaps, A.I., artificial intelligence, will sometimes allow us to do these things: extend Joans' NIGHT GALLERY episode to our likings, produce her HORNET'S NEST movie I've have in my brain for ages, switch-off Donna Reed's head for BBG's in that 84/85 soap seasons, and overhaul most of DYNASTY from S3 thru S8.
