Horace Ford may win the most annoying Twilight Zone character award. Not the worst in terms of being a bad person just an unbelievably irritating one . I am giving it two stars because the episode doesn't disgust me in any way but it's hard to watch. Too much padding to work in the hour format. I am not really against the hour format there are several I like a few amongst my favorites but it doesn't work here .
The Twilight Zone Companion gives this episode an unbelievable amount of praise which occasionally happened. Some episodes were overrated in that book while others were underrated.
I agree the episode would have been better in the half hour format but it also needed better writing and Horace, his wife and mother needed different casting.
