Bradburys Gruselkabinett

Each of the 65 episodes divided into 6 seasons, pose the problem and solution in under 30 minutes.

As you hear the introduction you will recognize many of the novels the teleplays are based on.

We get many famous actors of the time period that the presentation from 1985 to 1992 are present in these productions. We even start off with Leslie Nielsen playing a straight man as in Alarm im Weltall (1956) as opposed to the joke in Die unglaubliche Reise in einem verrückten Flugzeug (1980).

Do not get distracted by the ancient technology as devices and transportation of the time. They have something called computers in some of the series.

You will need to watch them all to find your favorite. I can only imaging having to wait for each one for almost a decade.

Different episodes may be of different values to you but the series in general is top notch.

Ray Bradbury is an absolutely brilliant writer. I am totally impressed with the original ideas that he evolves into thoughtful and creative stories. I had nearly given up TV when his series came to our PBS affiliate in Denver. I made it a goal, early on, to see every episode.

My favorite episodes include `There Was an Old Woman' and `A Miracle of Rare Device.' They are true masterpieces. It is also fun to look for my favorite stars in these little-known vignettes.

I grew up reading Ray Bradbury's books and I enjoyed, even more, the screen portrayals of his works. His insistence on creative control over the finished product has resulted in a legacy that he can truly be proud of. Don't miss these excellent stories!

The episodes of the first couple of seasons are a bit cringy, but the production gets better. I'm not sure if I would be as invested if I didn't know the stories, but as a huge Ray Bradbury fan, I really enjoy seeing his stories adapted to screen.

What makes this series fun is its low budget. but they do have really good actors on the show and I like watching it. What's hard to believe is that the show lasted for six years.

I saw this on "Home Box Office" (heh! Love that...HBO now) when it first aired. Drew Barrymore's Screaming Woman has always impressed me and still does.

I recently picked up the Platinum Disc Corp DVD set for this series and was pleasantly surprised by the image quality. It's has nice color for the most part but may appear too pink at other times. I doubt the source material was outstanding visually. The biggest problem is something that was not a big surprise: image tearing. This happens when there is a lot of action on screen. It's infuriating that a company does this to a series that isn't available any way else just to save a few bucks. I paid about $25 but I'd pay more for better quality spread across more DVDs. It really sucks! And they could've turned themselves around with this collection. Yey to PDC for releasing these but boohiss for dropping the quality. For that I WON'T BE buying this for Christmas for another member of the family who is a fan. :(
