- Quotes
[closing narration]
Narrator: In a way, it can be said that Walter Ryder succeeded in his life's ambition, even though the man he created was, after all, himself. There may be easier ways to self-improvement, but sometimes it happens that the shortest distance between to points is a crooked line - through the Twilight Zone.

Featured review
Great Episode, not as dark and very well done/great acting by lead
This is one of the best TZ episodes of many good ones. The reason I especially like this one is because it changes from creepy and/or macabre, to become a heartwarming charmer about second chances, self improvement, human loneliness, and how one must be lovable to be loved... if one works to be a better person, it's worth it because of the fruits of happiness resulting from being that better man...but in a much different way than you'd expect. Some other reasons I liked this episode are; The director took the more difficult road that resulted in a more entertaining experience. It really shows off the acting talent of George Grizzard, more than most of his other roles, even his previous appearance on the Twilight Zone 3 years earlier. They did not take the easy way out, the lead actor- Grizzard, did a GREAT job and is at his best. A true acting talent as seen in this episode. I give this one an A+
