Night Gallery (TV Series)
''Night Gallery'' is an American anthology television series that aired on NBC from December 16, 1970, to May 27, 1973, featuring stories of horror and the macabre.

Serling viewed ''Night Gallery'' as a logical extension of ''The Twilight Zone'', but while both series shared an interest in thought-provoking dark fantasy, more of ''Zone''s offerings were science fiction while ''Night Gallery'' focused on horrors of the supernatural. Format Serling appeared in an art gallery setting as the curator and introduced the macabre tales that made up each episode by unveiling paintings (by artists Thomas J. Wright and Jaroslav "Jerry" Gebr) that depicted the stories. His intro usually was, “Good evening, and welcome to a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
There Was A Crooked Man
"There Was a Crooked Man" is an English nursery rhyme. It has a Roud Folk Song Index number of 1826. Origin The rhyme was first recorded in print by James Orchard Halliwell in 1842: :There was a crooked man and he went a crooked mile, :He found a crooked sixpence against a crooked stile; :He bought a crooked cat, which caught a crooked mouse, :And they all liv'd together in a little crooked house. It gained popularity in the early twentieth century. I. Opie and P. Opie, ''The Oxford Dictionary of Nursery Rhymes'' (Oxford University Press, 1951, 2nd edn., 1997), p. 340. One legend suggests that this nursery rhyme originated in the once prosperous wool merchant’s village of Lavenham, about 70 miles northeast of London, having been inspired by its multicolored half-timbered houses leaning at irregular angles as if they are supporting each other. Other sources state that the poem originates from British history, specifically the period of the Scottish Stuart King Charles I of ...
