"Night Gallery" was an American anthology series that aired on NBC from 1970 to 1973, featuring stories of horror and the macabre. Rod Serling, who had gained fame from "The Twilight Zone," served as the on-air host of "Night Gallery" and was a major contributor of scripts. Each episode was introduced by Serling w/a dark and often horrific painting illustrating the episode's theme. All but the initial pilot episode's painting were created by Tom Wright, who achieved even greater recognition later in life as a director of such hit TV series as "CSI, The X-Files," and "NCIS." For Season 2 episode "You Can't Get Help Like That Anymore," Wright created this stunning image of Lana Wood's robotic maid laying in pieces, her inner wiring exposed. Storyline depicts a near future wkere a sadistic couple torture their servants until a robotic maid (played by Wood) develops survival skills and fights back. The episode aired Feb. 23, 1972 and was written by Rod Serling, directed by Jeff Corey and starred Cloris Leachman, Broderick Crawford and Lana Wood. Painting has been framed to match the original frame featured on the show. Frame measures 28x50" and Masonite board w/original acrylic art has been professionally and attractively matted to 17.25x39.5". Exc. Wright's masterful paintings are not only the definitive imagery of the nightmarish essence of each story, they have achieved an enduring and growing cult following far beyond any other aspect of the shows themselves. Few of these original paintings have come to auction, selling for as much as $30,000 when they do.
