An author anthology series in the grand tradition of ''Series/AlfredHitchcockPresents'', ''The Ray Bradbury Theater'' featured television adaptations of the stories of - unsurprisingly - Creator/RayBradbury. The series ran on two different networks between 1985 and 1992. Sixty-five of Bradbury's stories were adapted for the series, though some episodes mixed in elements and themes from more than one tale.

Early episodes feature a surprising number of well-known actors including Creator/DrewBarrymore, Creator/JeffGoldblum, and even [[Creator/WilliamShatner The Shat]].
