Don't judge the series based on only a few shows....like many anthology shows, there are good ones and horrid ones.

I tried watching the "Thriller" series several years ago and quickly gave up. I just didn't enjoy the shows and the episodes were not especially thrilling. Well, recently I tried again...and found I did enjoy some of the shows very much. It turns out that like most (or all) anthology shows, there are winner and loser episodes. It turned out that the early season one shows were particularly dull and the show did improve over time. But, considering it only lasted two seasons, you can assume the public didn't exactly embrace it.

So my advice to you is read through the reviews and pick the best episodes to watch first...and then, perhaps...see the others later. A few I strongly recommend are "The Prediction", "The Poisoner", "A Good Imagination", "Mr. George", "Masquerade" and "A Wig for Miss Devore".

By the way, it is rather funny to me that in many of his introductions Boris Karloff says that the show is scary or exciting and guarantees it "...if my name isn't Boris Karloff". In actual fact, his given name was NOT Boris nor Karloff but was William Henry Pratt!!!!

score 6/10
