Creepy and well-executed adaptation. This is a stand-out episode.

A silly but fun episode. Starts slow but gets more ridiculous and campy as it goes on. A backstabbing wife get suspicious of her scientist husband who is constantly pouring baby food down the 'nutrition hatch' of his experiment's 'head sphere'. The sound's a bit tinny, but there's quite a bit of interesting news and commercials. The news segment at the beginning is actually scarier than the story.

Great ep of the series.. Loved it.

Mostly a really effective science fiction story that had a semi-literary feeling to it. Lots of great allusions, and my brain was active throughout trying to figure out where the story would go. Unfortunately the ending felt abrupt and it turned out that a lot of setup was basically wasted. Still, this was a really good listen. i also dug the news broadcast from 1979; just as alarming as any of today's news for sure!
