Worst Episode from Season 1?


The Big Tall Wish. pretty terrible all around.

what say ye?

Nahhh… “The Big Tall Wish” is fine, although admittedly it hasn’t aged particularly well in some respects. A few years back I’d have chosen “The Fever” to top my list of stinkeroos, but nowadays I’d go with “Escape Clause.” David Wayne was just too good at portraying that vicious hypochondriac bastard Walter Bedeker. (Life with Franklin Gibbs seems like a Sunday joy ride comparably.)

What you need. The peddler came off as more comical instead of devious.

"The Mighty Casey." After Serling's wondrous intro, which would make anyone nostalgic, the soundtrack inexplicably employs the slide whistle. From there on out only "Cavender is Coming" is a more intolerable "TZ" turkey.
