Darkroom

Darkroom is an American television thriller series which ABC transmitted from November 27, 1981 to January 15, 1982. It was an anthology horror/thriller series, similar in style to Rod Serling's Night Gallery. Each 60-minute episode featured two or more stories of varying length with a new story and a new cast, but each of the episode wraparound segments was hosted by James Coburn. Among the performers who appeared on the series were Steve Allen, Esther Rolle, Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs, David Carradine, Billy Crystal, and June Lockhart.
Overall, I enjoyed this series. James Coburn's voice was great. I liked the opening of the show enough, and Coburn seemed kind of insane a lot of the time when introducing episodes ala Rod Serling. There were twist endings, which is normally the case with these sorts of Anthology series. I didn't score any episode higher than an '8', but scored nothing lower than a '3' rating, either.
