Well, naturally, I liked this episode, mostly because I wrote the story it was based on, though IMDb doesn't give credit.
The original story appeared in 'Twilight Zone' magazine not too long before the series went into production.
It was interesting to see the progress from a short story to the script to the final product. Reading a script, for people not used to reading them or reading plays, doesn't really give much idea of what the end product will be like. It makes you appreciate the director's work, especially since this was a VERY low budget series. There were only four actors and maybe three sets in the whole show. Alice Ghostley and Mario Roccuzzo did a great job.
It was a bit telegraphed, as the previous entry mentioned. If you see a giant spoon on the wall, you have to be pretty thick not to guess the end.
