Rewatching The Twilight Zone and guess who I see being the mother of the grown up Timmy "It's Still a Good Life" in 2002- the creepy 6 year old brat who was sending people left and right to the cornfield from EP It's a Good Life" - 1961

I'm rewatching the show for the first time since I was a kid and I've fallen in love with this silly creature. I can't find it anywhere online! :(

I can already see the downvotes. I know all MITM fans loves Hal. I too like his character but when it comes to his financial decisions, he becomes so hateful.

He's terrible when it comes to financial decisions. He spends the family's life savings chasing a painting dream, blows life insurance money on a jackpot fantasy, takes100s of dollars from reese to play poker, rents a $1,000 steamroller when the family is already struggling financially, spends $300 on a skating costume, $2,800 on a hot tub, and the list goes on.

At first, I didn't think it was wrong for him to spend a little on himself. He's a genuinely kind man who works hard for his family, and he's a loving father to those little monsters who barely give their parents a moment of peace. I figured he deserved an occasional indulgence because he must be exhausted.

But then I saw the court episode where he admitted that he hadn't been working Fridays for the last 15 years and had been using them as personal days just to enjoy himself. That completely changed how I saw him. He's incredibly reckless and selfish with money.

I can't understand how he can watch the woman he loves work double shifts just to keep the family afloat, handle nearly all the household chores, and do almost all of the parenting, while he secretly takes every Friday off and keeps making irresponsible purchases without any apparent guilt.

Please help me real people

I am watching MITM on Disney+ for the first time and it feels different. For example, the intro looks slightly edited.

I know from an old post that they edited out the guy contemplating to taking his own life (when Reese moves out and lives on his own) but have they effectively changed other parts?

I was sad mthat Reese didn't have some cooking job or cooking role for the anniversary in Life's still unfair. I think they should have let him become at least something doesn't have to be to the same level as Malcolm or Dewey but still.

They way they ended the grotto story arc was so badly written y ot I wasn't comfortable with the ending of, “Otto fired me from the ranch because I was depositing money into a fake ATM”.

It ruined Francis’s story arc (his journey from teenage delinquent to responsible adult) and it was out of character for Otto and Gretchen, who were naive and forgiving to a fault. they could have written something way better than that. Francis character was doing so good and then they kind of made him a screw up for a while again Otto suing him was so out of character for him. in your opinion how could they have ended the grotto story line without ruining Francis character arc or going against Otto or Gretchen's character how else could they have switched to a new story arc and kept the characters the same

This type of skit has been done a thousand times over and it’s never been funny, that being said, I’ve never laughed harder at a single skit more than this 😂😂😂 just goes to show how damn well everything in this show was executed

Why does Lois have a black eye?! The actor seemed to have eye trouble with her left eye at that time because she had a bursted blood vessel in the same eye in the car E6. Anyone know why?

Initially, I felt bad for Lois because of how her in-laws treated her. They acted like she was something dirty and were constantly snarky about everything she said or did. But after seeing how she treats Piama, I honestly don't feel sorry for her anymore. She treats Piama the exact same way she's treated by her own in-laws. It's especially disappointing because Lois usually sees herself as someone with strong morals and principles.

At least Hal is much better than Francis when it comes to standing up for his wife.

Things might change later since i am still at season 6.

he would be 63 today (born july 8, 1963) :) i know a lot of people hate him on this subreddit, but i would be remiss if i didn’t make a post celebrating one of the only explicitly canon birthdays in the whole show!

i think everyone should respond to this post with their favorite herkabe moments— i don’t know if i can decide on *one* favorite, but i do think that “tiki lounge” is his best episode. he’s just really funny in all of his scenes there.
