An'''''Night Gallery''''' is an (initially) hour-long [[Horror]] and [[Speculative Fiction]] [[Genre Anthology|anthology]] series, hosted by [[Rod Serling]], which ran on [[NBC]] for three seasons (1970-1973). Each episode includes multiple segments tied together by the [[Framing Device]] of a gallery of paintings inspired by the featured stories. The stories include both originals (many written by Serling) and adaptations of works by the likes of [[Richard Matheson]], Basil Copper, and [[H.P. Lovecraft]]. (The segments "Cool Air" and "Pickman's Model" are the first and still most famous [[Lovecraft on Film|Lovecraft adaptations]] made for television.)
 
Unusually for the format<ref>and, oddly, bearing a certain resemblance to [[Sketch Comedy]]</ref>, the individual segments are not of a set length. They range from one-minute vignettes to long stories that take up most of the episode's run time (and everything in between); the number of segments per episode varies accordingly.
