- Beaver's classmates and family plan to watch him "live" when he is chosen to appear as a panelist on the popular TV show "Teen Age Forum". But when everyone, including Beaver, misses an announcement that his episode will be taped for airing the following week, no one believes Beaver was really on the show...not even Beaver himself!—shepherd1138
- Based on a letter he wrote to the show producers, Beaver has been chosen to appear on "Teen Age Forum", a local weekly television show that has teens expressing their views on various topics. Beaver's panel is to speak on the teen's place in the home. Beaver is nervous but excited, but everyone he tells, including his family, his friends and Mrs. Rayburn, who has to allow him time off from school to appear on the show, are all excited for him and how well he will represent them all. On show day, a nervous Beaver leaves the set immediately before the show films to get a drink of water, during which time information is provided that he didn't know: that the show is being taped and will air in exactly one week's time. That ends up posing a problem for Beaver as everyone he told ends up watching what he assumed was a live performance. So when Beaver arrives back at school after the taping and learns that Mrs. Rayburn is mad because he wasn't on the show, Beaver has to figure out what's going on. He's afraid to go back to face Mrs. Rayburn or his family. And when he calls the station and finds that he is scheduled to appear on next week's show, he and Gilbert believe Beaver's new twisted reality is him being in The Twilight Zone (1959).—Huggo
- This episode has some eerie references of that era in 1963. The parallels in regards to the Twilight Zone was as Gilbert put it " Spooky". Then, the writers inserted a line about Jackie Kennedy, almost 8 months before that fateful day in Dallas. Wow! Ironic & spooky, in one episode. There are also concerns about teenagers having their own phones which is so prevalent in today's times. There maybe some truth in television predicating the future. Star Trek and The Simpsons are culprits in those speculations.—eman_groove
