The Ray Bradbury Theater is an anthology series that ran for two seasons on HBO, three episodes per season from 1985 to 1986, and four additional seasons on USA Network from 1988 to 1992. It was later shown in reruns on the Sci Fi Channel. All 65 episodes were written by Ray Bradbury and many were based on short stories or novels he had written, including "A Sound of Thunder", "Marionettes, Inc.", "Banshee", "The Playground", "Mars is Heaven", "Usher II", "The Jar", "The Long Rain", "The Veldt", "The Small Assassin", "The Pedestrian", "The Fruit at the Bottom of the Bowl, "Here There Be Tygers", "The Toynbee Convector", and "Sun and Shadow".I remember this past year in English class we watched Bradbury's "The Pedestrian" and I'm sad to say that there were only a couple of us who actually enjoyed it. It seems that a lot of kids my age were raised watching crap shows and movies and they don't know what gems they are missing by ignoring the older stuff, the stuff that was actually GOOD. I was raised on things like Hitchcock thrillers, the Marx Brothers, The Thin Man, Blackadder, Red Dwarf, Are You Being Served, Fawlty Towers, Keeping Up Appearances, Monty Python, etc. Kids my age have no idea what they're missing.
I was about to say that this show wasn't that old in the general scheme of things, but then it did go on air 26 years ago.
A Sound of Thunder is the short story that the movie A Sound of Thunder was taken from and enlarged. It also was the basis for The Butterfly Effect. In the original short story one of the hunters comes back with a "small golden butterfly" crushed into the sole of his boot.
Before I read the whole story I had a Freshman English teacher who used the description of the dinosaur from the short story as an example of descriptive writing.
Looking at the titles, I can see that Rod Serling based many of his Twilight Zone episodes on Bradbury's stories.
Bradbury also wrote I Sing The Body Electric which is the title of a Walt Whitman poem. That was also made into a Twilight Zone episode about robotic nannies and care givers.
Also she had parotit in 1893.What do you mean by parotit?
