Did Carol Burnett write this episode? Hmmm
11 August 2017
This is a wonderful story of a young woman who is trying to create her own life in a large city. The plot focuses on how Carol Burnett's character learns about the priorities of her life. The first scene is in a movie theater, and Carol plays a girl who is doing her best (but fails) in a job where the requirements are ridiculous and the uniform is even more absurd. Carol even has a chance to show her slapstick skills. The lesson learned by the main character is that friendship is a joy that is a deep & basic part of humanity, and in no way depends on class, as defined by financial advantages. The writer is noted as Rod Serling himself, however, I wonder if Carol Burnett had a hand in writing it, and even creating the silly costume, because the whole concept is rather close to her variety show.
