There isn't much that can be said about this wonderful movie that has not been said thousands of times before - good and bad. It is by far my favorite movie of all time that I can watch over and over again without getting bored at all. . I see something new I missed every time. I hear talk of making a new version called The Thing 2 and hope it comes to fruition. That 2011 re-make was fair but very disappointing compared to this version, which was a re-make all it's own. I really hope they go back to making it with practical effects instead of CGI which sort of ruined the 2011 version. Please bring it on John Carpenter.

This was a really good episode of The Fugitive starring Richard Janssen and I thought Denny Miller gave a really realistic performance. The episode was quite engaging and went by very fast and I also enjoyed the episode more than a lot them. Also, there were a lot of familiar faces, and I did not even recognize Dabney Coleman with all that hair - I had to look him up to see who he was. David Janssen really created an iconic character with this great series. I watched this series on first run back in the sixties as a young teen and still enjoy it even more as a grown man. Getting close to the fianl episodes and cannot wait.

This is a pretty good episode of The Twilight Zone with a stand-out cast . May be the best cast of any episode with Lee Marvin, Lee Van Cleef, James Best, and the great Strother Martin. The plot was a little cheesy with the story raised high with the great cast. I kept waiting to see George Kennedy,, Clint Eastwood, Paul Newman or Eli Wallach to show up on this one. Ha ha. It was very watchable, and I would not mind watching it again. A lot of the Twight Zones were at best mediocre or boring or rather silly, but not this one. The 30 minute show passed by like 10 and had a very spooky twist ending.

I agree with other reviewers that this movie was not all that good. Not real bad but definitely not good. And the dialogue, cheesy at best and a lot of it was things people just not say back then. The topper was when Joesephine asked her friend, when seeing Wyatt for the first time - who is that TALL Drink of Water I really don't think people used that phrase until the 1980s or 1990s. The plot was kinda all over the place and a lot of dull scenes that went nowhere. It was very laborious to sit through even though I'm a fan of Kurt Russell. And Val Kilmer was very evident that he was trying way too hard to be cool. Oh well.

WOW. Boy oh boy. I have finally seen the worst episode of The Twilight Zone and possibly the worst show I have seen on National TV.. There was once a game show called You're in the Picture with Jackie Gleason as host. I saw it recently on YT. It was so bad when it aired on TV it got cancelled after ONE episode but I enjoyed that more than this monstrosity. This epiosode must have written and direced by a very young child. A teenager probably could have done better.. It was so bad that words cannot explain how silly and boring it was. It was supposed to be some kind of comedy but I didn't laugh once, I shed a few tears however, over it's badness. Needless to say I'll never watch this one ever again. If I could I would rate it less than zero. I see another reviewer rated this a 10 and saw it very differently than I did. Oh well - to each his own.

I loved this show as a young teenager. I think it came on at 10pm and at first my parents would not let me stay up that late on a school night. However I could watch the re-runs during summer vacation. I watched a couple of episodes recently form the last season, which was in color. I have to say there wasn't really enough of a p[lot to last the full hour Most shows probably needed to be thirty minutes. I got bored in the last half of the episodes and fell asleep as it came on real late. Now. Anyway my bubble has been busted of a once great show I thought it was. Even the final 2 episodes were a little dull and too long even back then.

I haven't seen every episode of The Twilight Zone and do not remember some of them but so far this is the worst, silliest, and most boring episode I have ever seen. I know there is probably a few more duds that are worse but they will have to go a long way to beat this monstrosity. The best part of this episode was when it came to an end and I didn't have to watch it anymore. If I have to ever watch this again I will have to be paid a small fortune, that's to me how bad it was. I really think ole Rod took a vacation on this one and just wrote something to get by. It was not clever in the least. Most episodes at least have a clever twist but not this one.

This episode is very similar to the movies The Thing from Another World the 1982 movie The Thing and also the book Who Goes There in it's plotline. That being the plot of who might be the monster in disguise, and nobody trusts anyone at all and resorting to accusations and violence. I enjoyed this particular episode very much and have watched it twice now. It also stars many familiar actors It also stars Burt Metcalfe before he got to be the top man behind the MASH series. This episode is worth a watch and and better than a lot of episodes which were really duds. The moral at the end is worth the price of admission.

I am really getting tired of Beaver's lying on 90% of the episodes . It was funny the first few times but wore thin fast. I love the Andy Griffith show and can watch the episodes over and over again but not Leave it to Beaver. I think the difference is the Andy Grifith show allowed the cast to sit with the writers and put in their input. One time the writers on The Andy Griffith show wanted Don Knotts say his funny line about Nip It Nip it in the bud in more episodes and Knotts told them it was funny only if used very Sparingly - He was dead right, the writers took his advice. That type of thing didn't happen on LITB.

Like I said in my previous post. Most of the time after a couple of duds the writers come with one or two pretty good episodes. This episode was pretty good. I rated it about an 8 and the next episode about a six. Beaver turns out to be the mediator wich is rarely seen. He is usually the one who gets in trouble and lies to cover it up but as the good mediator it was really a stretch for his character.

Anyway this episosde really elevated Lumpy to a good guy after listening to Beave making him connect with his conscience. Nice to see Lumpy Rutherford as a good guy in the end. They need more episodes featuring Lumpy and Eddie.

My, , my , my - after watching 2 or 3 episodes of Leave it to Beaver, that were very good, the writers come up with a pair of duds. It seems like they have an ongoing habit of doing that. This episode and the next on were as flat as a piece of typing paper Almost unwatchable. It really seems like there are not many middle of the road episodes of Leave it ot Beaver - mostly either very good ones or really bad ones. My Tv station is showing two back to back episodes and when they show a pair of duds back to back it is very disappointing. I always think if anyone else catches 2 of these duds for the first time they will never watch the show again and that is sad.

Mike Rowe really shows his lack of intelligence in this episode when checking the lightning rods with a level.

It's hard to describe what he did but he evidently knows nothing about how a level works. He is on a roof and trying to get lightnings rods to face straight up. I've watched tons of Dirty Job episodes and never seen Mike seem this incompetent checking only one side of the rod when he needs to check it all the way around. He winds up inside trying to connect the wires to the wires but it is very hard to do so he just quits which is only the second time I've seen him quit on a job. The other time he quit when window washing a high rise..

This was a strange and not very good episode. The boy playing Kenneth only made one appearance on Leave it to Beaver. He was strange looking and kept telling everyone lies, worse than Beaver's lying and that takes a lot to top that. Most of the dialogue in this episode was very weak and some of the characters kept repeating themselves. Seems like this episode was quickly written just to get another episode filmed I usually like to watch most episodes for a second or third time but not this one. It seems like 39 episodes per season was a little bit too many. Maybe about 30-32 would have had better writing.

This was Jeri Weils last appearance as Judy Hensler. In the original Leave it to Beaver. She played the part in just one episode of The New Leave it to Beaver and was never seen on TV or film again after that. The episode before this one she appeared in before this was in season three and it had been about 4 months since that appearance, and she had really gotten a lot taller and bigger. She had a really big growth spurt and in my opinion I think the powers that be wrote her out of the show because she looked too old to be in the same grade as Beaver, but of course I could be mistaken. They wrote Larry Mondello out about the same time too and replaced him with Gilbert Bates but they didn't replace Judy with anyone. Sad to see her go. She was a good nemesis for Beaver at school - A sort of female Eddie Haskel.

Wow. Columbo really hit bottom with this dud. Columbo was so out of character that it didb't even seem like a Columbo episode. Letting Faye Dunaway kiss him like 6 times or more with the ever faithful wife sitting at home was a real stretch. And to make matters worse Dunaway whispered so much that I could not understand a lot things she was saying, even with the TV sound turned way up. I have been watching Columbo from the very start but avoided this one because the previews looked ridiculous. Boy did I hit that nail on the head with one blow. Never want to see this total mis-fire again. It was that bad.
