The timings of the point where the error can be found, if relevant, is listed first, followed by the description of the omission.

SEASON ONE

In all six episodes of the first season run (Prod. #32361–32366), the music cue sheets list the main title theme as running 50 seconds. In the latest mastering, it runs only 30 seconds, and there is a noticeable edit in the music 22 seconds into the main title. Given this evidence, it is likely that a longer version of the main title sequence exists and was probably used for the original broadcast. This requires investigation of the original copy. Also: for this mastering, the Four-In-One fanfare was excised from all six episodes of the first season run (Rod Serling's Night Gallery was originally part of a four-series programming wheel titled Four-in-One, which accounts for the brevity of Gallery's first season). The fanfare should be considered part of the main title, since it segues into the Night Gallery theme without a break. The act-break bumpers and the "next week on NG" trailers are also missing throughout.

PROD. #32363: "The House" - "Certain Shadows on the Wall"

• 00:51–08:41 Constant crackling noises on sound track.
• 10:15–17:07 Constant crackling noises on sound track.

PROD. #32365: "Pamela's Voice" - "Lone Survivor" - "The Doll"

• 37:21 A very odd jump cut, and the simultaneous cut in the music cue suggests a loss of some footage. More footage of this scene with a complete music cue appears in the syndication version (Prod. #38409), but that's not necessarily proof of the loss: the odd edit in the 1991 remaster could reflect the way it was originally broadcast. Check the original copy.

PROD. #32362: "They're Tearing Down Tim Riley's Bar" - "The Last Laurel"

• The original broadcast version of this episode had the story segments reversed, with "The Last Laurel" coming first, "They're Tearing Down Tim Riley's Bar" last. The Serling introductions in the current mastering bear this out. At the episode opening, he enters and stands next to the painting for "The Last Laurel"; jump-cut to a moving shot of the gallery that ends on Serling standing next to the painting for "Tim Riley's Bar," which he then introduces. After "Tim Riley" ends at 40:39, the fade-in from commercial is on a detail of the painting for "The Last Laurel," which is not regular RSNG fade-in style. We then jump-cut to Serling standing, as he was at the episode beginning, next to the "Last Laurel" painting, which he introduces. Close inspection of the dialogue track is consistent with such a change. This requires investigation of the original copy.

SEASON TWO

The act-break bumpers and the "next week on NG" trailers are missing throughout.

PROD. #34307: "The Diary" - "A Matter of Semantics" - "Big Surprise" - "Professor Peabody's Last Lecture"

• 20:50–22:06 Music cue #11 (Tell You about Tomorrow) is extremely faint and barely audible.

PROD. #34314: "The Messiah on Mott Street" - "The Painted Mirror"

• 49:13, 49:21, 49:56, 50:00 Insert shots of dinosaurs; cannot verify authenticity. Check against original print.

PROD. #34315: "The Different Ones" - "Tell David…" - "Logoda's Heads"

• 26:45 Fast fade-out, loss of music and frame information. The original print jump-cuts from a shot of the nanny to a shot of Tom Wright's painting before the fade-out. In the current mastering, the scene fades out before the canvas insert, with a loss of the end of the music cue. It was probably edited out because the fade-in is focused on the same canvas - although in Prod. #34312, at the commercial break in "Cool Air," it was decided at that time to allow this segue without cutting out any material.

PROD. #34320: "I'll Never Leave You - Ever" - "There Aren't Any More MacBanes"

• 18:29 Jarring jump-cut at commercial segue, loss of music and frame.

PROD. #34321: "The Sins of the Fathers" - "You Can't Get Help Like That Anymore"

• 00:42 Bad edit cuts off first note of music cue #3 (Wales)
• 02:03 Music cue #3 (Wales) fades out, cue sheet says it's supposed to last an extra 48 seconds. Check against original print. (When the series was prepared for syndication, cue #3 was dialed down at the same point, and one of Oliver Nelson's cues from "The Hand of Borgus Weems" [Dose of Virgil] was used.)
• Missing music cue: Somewhere between the end of cue #3 (Wales) and the start of the cue that ends the first act (#5, Do I Have To) at 14:33, a fourth cue (Food Is Food) is supposed to play, but is missing. Check against original print. (The syndication print does not use cue #4 at this point, either, although it is used partially later on.)
• 15:45 Missing music cue (#6, Fog Rolls In). Check against original print. The syndication print uses cue #6 in the correct spot.
• Missing music cue: Somewhere between 24:12 at the end of cue #10 (Get the Food) and the start of the cue that ends the second act (#13, Screaming Boy) at 29:30, cue #11/12 (Now You Shall Eat) is supposed to play, but is missing. Check against original print. The syndication print uses part of cue #4 here to underscore Ian's race back to his house, then uses cue #11/12 to underscore Mrs. Evans retrieving the items of food hidden in Ian's cloak.

A NOTE ABOUT SEASON TWO

Regarding Prod. #34301 ("A Death in the Family" - "The Merciful" - "Class of '99" - "Satisfaction Guaranteed"): In the original broadcast version of this episode, a different story segment, "Witches' Feast," ran in place of "Satisfaction Guaranteed." In addition, two more segments were filmed for Season Two but never broadcast. They, along with "Witches' Feast," turned up in the half-hour syndicated version of Rod Serling's Night Gallery. Both "Witches' Feast" and "Die Now" were padded with superfluous footage to make them fit the running time of their respective syndication episodes. The extra footage in "Witches" lasts a matter of seconds, but the padding in "Die Now" is much more extensive - for starters, we recognize footage from a Universal film titled Eye of the Cat and from a Columbo episode, "Murder by the Book." An attempt should be made to find an original, unpadded version of these story segments to include in the Season Two DVD set, along with "Room for One Less" (The production numbers for the syndication episodes that contain these segments are #36706, #36745, and #36755).

SEASON THREE

The act-break bumpers and the "next week on NG" trailers are missing.
