'Nightmares & Dreamscapes' Webber calls Delaney "smelly."

This is better than the show. He must have been joking. What a fantastic sense of humor he has.

QUESTION:So your co-star in this episode is Kim Delaney. Did you enjoy working with her?

ANSWER: No, not at all. She’s was ... she’s smelly. She looked good, but she smelled. Yeah she was great, she’s very lovely. I’ve been using the word sultry all morning -- I’m not really sure what that means -- but she’s sultry and she was fun to work with. We spent a lot of time in our car in this particular episode of ‘Nightmares and Dreamscapes,’ so we just chatted, chatted, chatted away having a good ol’ time.

In the case of this particular episode, that's not saying much at all. By far, this was the worst one of this series I've seen. I'm tempted to read this particular story to see if it stank half as much as the show did.

And the episode before that, about a man about to undergo an autopsy while still alive, has been done fifty years ago on Alfred Hitchcock Presents. Differences: Hitchcock--car accident, King--snake bite; Hitchcock--tears reveal the man to be alive, King--erection. Everything else was almost identical. In fact, I'd swear the Hitchcock episode was playing on the TV in the background during one of the flashbacks.

yup this series has become incredibly low. I forget what last weeks episodes were, but they bit too.

Could not agree with you more- I'm glad its not just me- I had high hopes for the series, and this episode in particular, but I thought it was absolutely horrible.

"Battleground" was okay, but the other ones I saw were all very disappointing.

The only one of these I seen was the ones with the toy army men. I thought it was fun. I have the rest on my tivo, but have not had the time to watch them.

Battleground was only okay because it was a blatant ripoff of the Twilight Zone episode with Agnes Moorehead. No speech, and they used aliens/NASA instead of toy soldiers. I also had high hopes because I am a huge huge Hitchcock and Twilight Zone fan. But what made them special was not only the genre and quality, but the originality.

In fact, I'd swear the Hitchcock episode was playing on the TV in the background during one of the flashbacks.Yes, the character in the book even mentions (or thinks, actually) how his predicament is so similar to the old Alfred Hitchcock show. The last line of the story is "He only got to cry." So I was betting that was the original show playing on the TV.

It's odd that the series chose to do Battleground and Autopsy Room Four when King has so many other more original stories, and the basis for these tales had already been done on TV. But maybe they knew it had worked before and wanted to play it safe. These were arguably the two best episodes out of this set of eight, so they were probably on to something. ;)
