7/10
What is happiness?
10 January 2014
Warning: Spoilers
Carol Burnett and Jesse White star in this Twilight Zone episode as a hapless women who just can't seem to get anything right and a guardian angel sent down to help her. Mostly though it seems like White's biggest problem is just to prevent Burnett from stumbling all over herself as she does in her job as a theater usher. That first few minutes provide Burnett with some Lucille Ball like moments.

In a gentle and humorous way this story asks just what is happiness and maybe it's different things to different people. White does provide a complete change in Burnett's drab existence, but in the end he finds that while she's a klutz who can't hold down a job for very long she's essentially a happy person with very small wants in her life.

Fans of both Burnett and White should really appreciate this Twilight Zone episode laced with Carol Burnett's comic style.
