The Night Gallery episode "The Waiting Room" on the complete second season is my definitive favorite. Written by Rod Serling, and presented with an incredible cast featuring Buddy Ebsen,Steve Forrest, Albert Salmi,Jim Davis, Lex Barker and Gilbert Roland,the episode is an eerie, supernatural visit to a nameless saloon where each of the characters,known for their mastery with the six-gun, await their fate. Steve Forrest portrays the antagonist with a hair-trigger temper Sam Dichter, who wanders in from the cold for some warmth and whiskey,and when he engages the others in conversation he gets a hell of a lot more than he bargained for. The suspenseful dialogue between the actors is intense and the acting performances are hallmark. Mr. Serling originally had plans for a show of the same genre called the Wax Museum, but it became the Night Gallery after a conflict over storylines and content. A must-see for Rod Serling fans!
