4.0 out of 5 stars
Pure fun and escapism, September 23, 2000
This review is from: The Twilight Zone: Eye of the Beholder/ Living Doll [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I love THE TWILIGHT ZONE for a pure escapism quality and the trademark twist at the end, and these are two of my favourites.
'LIVING DOLL' sees the original Chuckie, Talky Tina (voiced by maestro June Foray),terrorizing a mean-spirited stepfather (Telly Savalas) into thinking he is going mad (more power to ya, Tina!).
'THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER' is writer Rod Serling's most offbeat episode, and most startling. It is almost a story that evokes haunting undercurrents of Nazi Germany and the plight to make people look a certain way. Donna Douglas (in a great and meaty role, a far cry from her then-current gig as Elly May in Paul Henning's THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES) as a woman being operated on by the State to make her look 'normal'.
Very thought-provoking indeed.

My name is Talky Tina and You had better watch this Video, February 24, 2001
This review is from: The Twilight Zone: Eye of the Beholder/ Living Doll [VHS] (VHS Tape)
LIVING DOLL and THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER are two of the best episodes of "The Twilight Zone." Telly Savalas gives us a cruel yet sympathetic portrayal of a stepfather in LIVING DOLL with a great score by Bernard Herrmann. THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER you might say examines the theory of relativity in a very different yet personal way with another great score by Bernard Herrmann. Both classics!

Ahead of it's time!, April 4, 2000
This review is from: The Twilight Zone: Eye of the Beholder/ Living Doll [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I have to say "The Living Doll" is one of the scariest TV episodes period! Chucky has nothing on Talky Tina. What makes this episode so great is that you have no special effects of a doll running around with a butcher knife in it's hands. You basically scare yourself by thinking "What would I do if a doll started saying weird things"? My favorite "Twilight Zone" episode!
