"Hocus-Pocus and Frisby"
Cracker-barrel loudmouth and teller of tall tales, Mr. Frisby (Andy Devine) gets his comeuppance and a real-life tall tale to tell when he's abducted by aliens who mistake his bragging for the truth. Raspy-voiced Devine is perfect as the fabricating Frisby. Howard McNear (Floyd the barber from The Andy Griffith Show) is part of his long-suffering audience. "Of Late I Think of Cliffordville"
An hour-long--and overlong--episode from the fourth season that mixes a deal-with-the-Devil story with a yearning to return to a simpler place and time, two of the series' favorite themes. The corrupt plutocrat Feathersmith (Albert Salmi) trades his fortune to Satan (Julie Newmar) to return to the place of his youth, Cliffordville in 1910, where his knowledge of the future should make him a bigger fat cat than he was before. But the biter-bit ending is a very predictable turnabout. Notable for Julie Newmar sporting a pair of cute horns that make her look like Catwoman from TV's Batman. Mr. Garrity and the Graves"
No one could make the Old West weirder than Rod Serling. Mr. Garrity (John Dehner) saunters into Happiness, Arizona, one day and claims to be able to resurrect the dead in this grim comic gem. Only the townsfolk like their dead where they are. Happiness, Arizona: it's just asking for it. This disc has a twilight zone of its own, holding hidden features such as the original ads and program bumpers, and isolated music tracks for the first two episodes. --Jim Gay
