2/10
Badly Written

Warning: Spoilers
I am not a Twilight Zone fan but was brought to this because I love Carol Burnett. I sure hope Serling had better work than this dud. The performances, including Burnett herself, were fine but man was this badly written. It's rushed and underdeveloped, we never even get the sense the woman is sad about her life. Why didn't the angel work to make her dreams come true rather than helping her be a lazy bore? It feels like the angel pulled that rich mansion idea out of his a**. The comedy moments were lame too, you can't do slapstick in a show that is otherwise playing it straight(the bus driver jumps out the window????). And yes if you have seen It's a Wonderful Life than is basically a watered down version of that story.Just glad I ma not alone in this one.
