I'm a huge fan of Earl Hamner, because of The Waltons, but this Twilight Zone episode was a real belly flop. His writing here was simplistic and predictable. The acting was terrible, by all of the actors, due in no small measure, I suspect, to the "work" of the director! (The bad voice dubbing was the least of this episode's problems). Furthermore, where did those kids get their awful southern accents? Not from their parents, obviously! It doesn't make any sense! The parents are clearly uptown socialite types, and the kids act and sound like country bumpkins. It's a good thing this was the last episode of Twilight Zone to be aired, because if it had been seen any sooner, it would have killed the series!
