A Most Unusual Camera
This is rather a silly episode, but I think it could have been quite interesting if they did it as a drama instead of a comedy. Showing the pitfalls of greed and materialism, or maybe object-worship. What do y'all think?

shareAll the comedy episodes, IMHO, would be better served if given a more serious treatment. I remember reading once that Matheson originally intended "A World of his Own" to be a much darker story before the powers that be requested he lighten it up. Had they shot "A World of his Own" the way Matheson originally intended it I probably would count it among my favs -- its concept, after all, is a fascinating one (but then, most of Matheson's scripts were fascinating).
shareI agree.
shareHonestly thought it was one of the more memorable episodes.
shareInteresting. I never thought of this as a comedy episode. Sure, it had some humorous moments in it, but nothing over the top. When I think of humorous TZ episodes, I think of something like Once Upon a Time (Buster Keaton).
shareI would consider it more of a dramedy than a pure comedy. Despite it not being a pure drama, I believe they did show the elements of greed, materialism, and object worship.
My real reason for posting is that I think Paula has one of the most severe cases of smoker's voice I think I've ever heard. She could have done Patty and Selma's voices and not even changed her natural voice!
Jean Carson (Paula) was also one of the "fun girls" on The Andy Griffith Show, and her voice is one of the reasons I've never liked the fun girls. (They're also just really annoying.)
shareThose girls are second only to Ernest T. Bass for the "worst characters" award with the Darlings close behind in third. For such a great show they had some annoying characters.
shareI did get a kick every time Paula said "Woodward". It just sounded so odd.
shareI enjoy the french server-dude who comes in and starts robbing the thieves. LOL
