That would have given Blyden more of a chance to act, as well.

"Showdown With Rance McGrew" could have helped itself a little by drawing more of a distinction between the Hollywood Old West and the real Old West.  When Rance blinks into the saloon where he meets Jesse James the place is minus a couple of showgirls, but otherwise identical to the set.  I think that's part of the

Best sitcom puppy party since season 2 of Parks and Rec.

Also funny: the way Dave was so sheepish about the cotton thing.

That line about the stiff competition killed me.  It was like, once I heard the word "stiff" I knew they had to go for some double entendre, but they did it so well.

Don't know if this was intentional or not, but during the pageant's Q&A portion Max was a dead ringer for Jack White.  If Penny had been on stage with him, also wearing a red shirt, it would have been a virtual 'Stripes reunion.

So far I haven't seen either episode.  I'm interested in the Hunt, though, since it seems to be the first episide written by Earl Hamner Jr, who helped liven up season 5.

The Naum Gabo meets Alexander Calder mobile is very cool.  It dates the episode, but at the same time is too elegant to really go out of style.

Actually I did like the cop who was looking after Radin in the denouement.  He kind of injected some needed humanity into the setup.

Gotta be Rosie O'Donnell.

For me "Dead Man's Shoes" works much better than "One More Pallbearer" exactly because it's just a clever little story, and not a big theme episode.  Yes, hobo Nate gets tossed aside.  No, Dane wasn't a nicer person than the guys who killed him.  Yes, there's a heap of domestic violence going on with Wilma.  But the

Mildred, too.

What Bigtits McPlotdevice said.

Point of information:  The dead gangster was named Dane, not Drake.

I wonder if the yellowface, as awkward as it is to watch now, is necessary to the story.  They could have cast an Asian actor and had him play the lieutenant in whiteface, but that would have been even more glaring because he'd be made up in the "real" part of the story rather than the dream.  Or you could do away

"If you like, Frank.  Here's to your fuck.  Cheers."

In the Twilight Zone Companion either George Clayton Johnson or the director Lamont Johnson - Johnson either way - rips Redford to shit for some reason.  They say that it was a good script that he just ruined with his performance.  I really don't get that.  You can tell that the lesser known RG Armstrong is the more

Sam Waterston tried to warn us.

Yeah, it's weird to see Nimoy given so little to do.  (Up until he gets to deliver the news of the A-bomb, anyway.)  For most of us there's no way you can not recognize him, which leads you to expect a big Nimoy scene that never comes.

I thought exactly the same thing.  I was wondering if it was intentional.
