ring-a-ding girl - purpose of bud?
help me sort this out, as i recently re watched ring a ding girl it just struck me how odd the family situation looked, the daddy was not present and no explanation why, and divorce seemed rather rare in television back in those days, that subject isn't really mentioned in the twilight zone if i recall right until the very last episode of the series (the bewitchin' pool), perhaps i'm being a complete boob and there is a clear key role for "bud" in ring-a-ding-girl? i really like this episode but its probably the saddest story, and i'm not criticising it, i just thought the family set up looked strange and the things bud was there for the sisters might as well could have done with each other. i'll tell you something interesting, in the radio adaptation of this (twilight zone radio dramas) bud has a bigger part and he seems to have the hots for his aunt and they exchange some pretty nasty comments with each other throughout, in that way his role at least has more impact on the episode.

heavy load,
about to park by the road,
you came along,
world transformed,
and the grey asphalt,
shine like gold,
as down the journey i roll.
