The Ray Bradbury Theater (Temporada 6)

El Ray Bradbury Theatre es una serie de antología que se desarrolló durante dos temporadas en HBO, tres episodios por temporada de 1985 a 1986 y cuatro temporadas adicionales en la Red de EE. UU. De 1988 a 1992. Posteriormente se mostró en repeticiones en el Canal de ciencia ficción. Todos los 65 episodios fueron escritos por Ray Bradbury y muchos se basaron en cuentos o novelas que había escrito, incluyendo "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 ", "El Toynbee Convector", y "Sun and Shadow". Muchos de los episodios se enfocaron en solo uno de los trabajos originales de Bradbury. Sin embargo, Bradbury ocasionalmente incluía elementos de sus otros trabajos. "Marionettes, Inc." contó con Fantoccini, un personaje de "I Sing the Body Electric!". "¡Gotcha!" Incluye una secuencia de apertura tomada de "The Laurel and Hardy Love Affair". Se cambió el nombre de los personajes y se agregaron elementos a las obras originales para ampliar la historia a 23–28 minutos o para adaptarse mejor al medio de televisión. Cada episodio comenzaría con una foto de Bradbury en su oficina, contemplando recuerdos de su vida, que según él están acostumbrados a generar ideas para historias. Durante la primera temporada, Bradbury a veces aparecía en pantalla en breves viñetas que presentaban la historia. Durante la segunda temporada, Bradbury proporcionó la narración de apertura sin ningún adorno específico en relación con el episodio. Durante la tercera temporada, se usó una versión reducida de la narración y Bradbury agregaría comentarios específicos relevantes para el episodio presentado. Durante las temporadas cuarta y posteriores, se usó una narración genérica ligeramente más corta sin comentarios adicionales.
