Jan 21 09 12:54 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Watched the classic It's A Good Life last night, with Billy Mumy. Great show. Hadn't seen it since I was a kid... BUT... I distinctly remembered a scene where a character was cutting wood and thought/said "I'd give my right arm for a cold beer", only to have his arm suddenly disappear and a beer appear on the ground/tree stump in front of him, due to the young "monster" taking him literally. Pretty horrific stuff. It wasn't in the show last night! So my question is... what IS this scene from? Another TZ episode? I know it's not an Outer Limits, because I've seen them all, but we're only into season 3 of TZ. Any help greatly appreciated! MacXoftheMounted.....................formerly known as Professor Von X

I haven't seen that since it came out either, but I believe that episode was featured in the film version. MacXoftheMounted.....................formerly known as Professor Von X

Jan 21 09 10:07 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	hmm... If it were a deleted scene from that ep I think it would have been mentioned when Billy Mumy was on coast-to-coastAM a few years ago.. I don't remember anyone even calling in about this. I'm sure this is wrong but there is a Twilight Zone("") episode from the 80s called "The toys of Caliban" that seems to have a similar plot but thats all I know...

I've never heard of this either, and there's no such scene in the short story on which the episode is based. "The important question is not, are there aliens on other worlds? No. The important question is, do they have ray guns?"

Maybe! I never saw it, but I know of it. Mumy does a commentary for the original episode on The Definitive TZ Collection DVD. I'm pretty sure he mentions no deleted scenes.

Jan 23 09 1:00 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I don't remember that scene in It's a Good Life, either, however I know that the Zones get edited for TV airings a lot. The old man in the cave episode, with James Coburn and John Anderson, is one I saw when it first aired, and I remember distinctly Coburn holding his gut after eating a can of food that was supposed to be poisoned, falling to the ground, as if dead, then, a few seconds later grinning and standing up again, to prove that the old man was wrong. I've never seen this in any rerun of the episode. They always cut it out for syndication. Maybe it's on the DVD, can't say.

Not sure about the Coburn episode, but I have the unedited It's A Good Life episode and the scene in question does not exist.

It's nice to see the kids actually get into them, particularly when I show the tv version of the stories. Eye of the Beholder still shocks some of them; early on they get that a lot of time is spent not showing the doctor's/nurses' faces and they start getting really anxious wanting to see what they look like. To Serve Man usually takes them by surprise, too. "The important question is not, are there aliens on other worlds? No. The important question is, do they have ray guns?"
