1. Ha, I saw that this morning as I was leaving for work.
Some dopey women who believes in fortune tellers. I bet she met a sad fate but I had a bus to catch.

4. probably not.......
this show was really campy. The good always smile at the end, and the wicked are punished in some comical 80's way. Not at all like "The Twilight Zone."

6. What? You must be confused...
In the last one I saw (which was also during a marathon, btw... and which was also about a fortune teller), the lady dies at the end.

And in the another I remember, the main character dies.... and in another he ends up enslaved forever.

So... they sure didn't all have happy endings.

2. Loved it
Remember the one about the old guy too cantankerous to accept he was dead?

9. That's because we're almost equally crazy.
I still have the edge as I listen to black metal and don't think it's noise, but with time and practice you too can be as crazy as a box of frogs, just like me. :)

:loveya:

10. I think the show is pretty bad
Edited on Wed May-27-09 07:06 PM by Juche
When I was a kid I loved it because the intro was so creepy, but now that I'm an adult it really just isn't very good. The writing is poor. Its cool if other people like it, but I just don't find it to be very well written.

If you want a great show watch Night Visions. That is on ChillerTV all the time, which is (I think) channel 199 on Dish Network. Tales from the Darkside is also on ChillerTV.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0247120/

Night Visions, the outer limits (the new version) and tales from the crypt are my favorite shows in that genre.
