FOR THE RECORD:

The Martian Chronicles (the anthology of short stories) is good. The Martian Chronicles (the 1980 adaptation of said-same) is not. Fans of sci fi should read the stories. Fans of schlock who enjoy seeing just how bad sci fi gets when supertrain eats several years' worth of budgets should probably watch The Martian Chronicles alone, in the dark, with some cheap bourbon.

Even if it was Richard Matheson.

Yeah. Of the four suggestions, three of them (if you count the Martian Chronicles miniseries) are Richard Matheson.
