Monday's (November 21st) 3-D Episode Of "Medium" To Be Introduced By "Rod Serling"

I put "Rod Serling" in quotes because the voice will actually be that of Mark Silverman, known for an extremely accurate imitation of the narrator/head writer of the original "Twilight Zone", and the only imitator of Serling's voice officially sanctioned and recognized by his estate.

Silverman's voice will be incorporated with vintage "Twilight Zone"-era black-and-white footage of Serling which will be "digitally manipulated", according to this NBC press release publicizing Monday's 3-D episode of the series, so it will appear that Serling himself provided the introductory narration.

In the 1980's, there was a short-lived remake of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" on NBC (which I think continued briefly on cable's USA network after that) which used colorized versions of Hitchcock's introductions. But except for their being colorized, they were his original introductions (I believe many episodes of the revival were remakes of episodes from the original show).

I am still wondering why "Medium" is still on.

Just because its popular doesn't mean that it is good.<P ID="signature">______________

Because it is not well done. LOL!
 
IMHO...

... it's a very intelligent show. In a way it harkens back to the old NBC Sunday Night Mystery Movie; a sort of cross between Columbo and Ellery Queen. On one hand you have the quirky lead character solving the mystery and on the other hand the mystery is not revealed to the audience until the final scene.

Very rare in today's television.

You're right. But that has nothing to do with this. I have a policy of not watching shows that don't appeal to me. It's called "choice" and it's a wonderful power to have.

Yeah so? And there have been good shows that have crappy ratings that have been cancelled. Most recently "Arrested Development." Come back when you know how things operate, man.
