THRILLER was a show I always craved to see but whenever it would show up, it would be in some weird time slot or a channel we couldn't get (this would have been when it was in syndication in the late 60s and 70s). I finally caught up with quite a few episodes some years ago but there's still many I have yet to see.
There are a couple where instead of doing one 50 minute story, they break it up and do two shorter stories. In one of these Karloff plays a philosophical morgue attendant who can talk to the dead. It's one of the creepiest, most poignant things I've ever seen on television. If Karloff had done a cameo on DS, I'd have hoped he could have a role like that of the morgue attendant.
A number of the stories have a definite DS flavor... I think you would enjoy the shows, MB, though I have no idea when you'd have time to watch them, especially with all the exciting new shows coming on this autumn.
