The show that used to be on tv where half the world was in perpetual night and the other half was in perpetual day? I think there was a wall that went around the world so that the people on the night side couldn’t enter the day side.. and.. that’s all I remember about it. It was on either in the late 80's or early 90's. I don't remember much since I was really young when it was on.

That's pretty vague,. Any more detail? Has it been a series, a feature movie? Could think of lots of stuff, although many being a bit too late for this: Judge Dredd had a huge wall around the city, with inside the city being portrayed by night most of the time. Married... with Children had a three-part episode with two towns in England having permanent day/night due to a curse. And then there'd be Dark City playing in... well, a Dark City. I also remember similar themes with huges walls in other series such as Andromeda.– MarioCommented May 28, 2013 at 10:12

@Mario: I don't think it's that vague. There can't be many shows where the premise was that half the world was in permanent daylight, and half was in permanent night. (That's certainly not the premise of Judge Dredd, or Dark City.)– Paul D. WaiteCommented May 28, 2013 at 10:30

From a plot/content standpoint, true, but I remember so many movies from my childhood that turned out to be quite a bit different watching them as an adult, especially if the plot is more complicated than "A shoots B" and you didn't understand or follow it at all.– MarioCommented May 28, 2013 at 10:32

2There's an episode from an early season of Stargate: SG-1 that takes place on a planet which seems similar - the Land of Light sends people into the darkness when they become 'infected' and revert to a Neanderthal-like state. It was only one episode, though, and >50% of it took place on Earth - unlikely to be what you mean.– JeffCommented May 28, 2013 at 13:13

And there's also the Star Trek TNG episode [The Dauphin](en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/The_Dauphin_(episode%29). But I don't believe the OP means a single episode from an otherwise unrelated series.– Mr ListerCommented May 28, 2013 at 19:31

Possibly White Dwarf. As far as I know never got beyond the pilot.
On a dying planet where a white dwarf sun rules a world divided by dark and light... A legend is about to be born.
