Warning: Spoilers
The four stars are for Gail Kobe. She was the only good thing about this genuinely bad episode. The story starts off on a weird note. Once Gail appears, you see the possibility of things improving. Not so. The story just reverts back to more weirdness. The George Grizzard character is clearly troubled. He does strange. Things and he's not sure why. I wasn't sure either, nor did I particularly care. As an example of the sudden hour-long format, this episode completely lacks the sublety and suspense that were typical of the half-hour shows. There can't be suspense when nothing generates your interest, in the first place. In the end, Grizzard's character finds out he is a robot. A spoiler, but there's not much here to spoil. This episode is also completely devoid of humor. The expression on Grizzard's face never changes. Again, Gail Kobe was the only bright spot here. She gave this stupid episode better than it deserved.
