The Ray Bradbury Theater

[Linksquest]

65 amazing sci-fi episodes written by Ray Bradbury!

I JUST found out about this show... I am definately getting the full DVD set! I'm so excited!

I was wondering if any of you have seen any of the episodes? Whether or not you have I'm still going to purchase this because I have already read many of the short stories that became episodes in this series.

That looks pretty cool; are the same actors doing all the stories though? 0_o

There were many different seasons (5 or 6 I believe). Because these are all really separate short stories they really have nothing to do with one another plot-wise. I don't know if actors re-occur in different episodes, however.

I do know that William Shatner played a main role in one of the episodes.

YAY! I purchased the entire DVD collection and It will be arriving tomorrow! I'm soooo excited!

Hmmm, that's interesting. Bradbury'sbooks have a lot of profanity in them though, so, I wonder...

What books are you talking about? Do you mean his short stories? Some of his stories talk about creation... or a concept of God... but none of them have really used a direct attack on God... if you mean bad language... there have been peppered curse words throughout his stories... but not "a lot"

in the "Ray Bradbury Theatre" there are a few intances when there is cussing... but none of them are extreme and the words are hardly used. So far I have not encountered the "f-bomb"

It was his newer books that had the heavy cursing in them ("heavy cursing" = frequent creative combinations of most English swear words), all the books released in the 90's and late 80's I believe. Most of his books before then contained (like you said) only peppered curse words throughout, and nothing very severe. They also sometimes had actual "christian" messages.

Since the older short stories are the only ones that the Ray Bradbury Theatre includes, My original comment made a somewhat unfair comparison, and was therefore rather invalid, and inaccurate. Sorry.
