This episode was episode 27 of the 2nd Season. Perhaps that is why this was lacking. Usually later eps of any shows tend to be amiss. Perhaps the stories have to come quickly, with less time to ponder. Twilight Zone has sprinkled in hot comedians every so often. Perhaps to gain more of a draw. This episode came across more to me as a Shelley Berman comedy show. I would not be surprised if he did this for a nominal fee just to get his name recognized. In any event, like other posters pointed out, this was shabbily written. Man wishes to live alone yet a subway still works. I did not buy this episode for one moment. Was there a lesson in this episode? Absolutely and yes it was a good lesson that is timeless, as other more epic Twilight eps point out. This just was one of the low lights of TZ. Ironically as Larry Davids dad on CYE, Shelley Berman the octogenarian shines more than as a 30 something back in the 50s . I guess not every episode can be a winner.
