Plus it's humorously black ending is worth waiting for-although not entirely unexpected. While I would not consider this a great segment, it is very good and a welcome introduction to the series.

Not surprisingly, when the old man soon dies, McDowell is ecstatic-unseemly so. In fact, he tries his best to 'simplify things'-by putting Macready by an open window on a cold day when his butler (Ossie Davis) has his day off from work. You can't help but hate McDowell's character-he is 100% awful and delights in anticipating the old man's death. The first segment, 'The Cemetery', stars Roddy McDowell as a scum-bag nephew waiting for his disabled disabled Uncle (George Macready) to die.

This is more than enough reason to watch the show's first episode and interesting that unless you click this link you might never know about his involvement.
