From The Twilight Zone

Third Season-The Dummy.  Aired May 4th, 1962. Starring Cliff Robertson. ”What’s known in the parlance of the times as the old switcheroo, from boss to blockhead in a few easy lessons. And if you’re given to nightclubbing on occasion, check this act. It’s called Willy and Jerry, and they generally are booked into some clubs along the ‘Gray Night Way’ known as the Twilight Zone.”(I’d love to credit  the artist of  this animated gif morph but could not find the name. I call you   HERO of graphics!)

 

 

Fifth Season-Ceasar and Me.  Aired May 4th, 1964 Starring Jackie Cooper, Morgan Brittany. ”Little girl and a wooden doll, a lethal dummy in the shape of a man. But everybody knows dummies can’t talk – unless, of course, they learn their vocabulary in the Twilight Zone.”

 

Fifth Season-Living Doll.  Aired Nov 1, 1963 Starring Telly Savalas, June Foray (June was also the voice of Rocky the Flying Squirrel on Rocky and Bullwinkle. ”Of course, we all know dolls can’t really talk, and they certainly can’t commit murder. But to a child caught in the middle of turmoil and conflict, a doll can become many things: friend, defender, guardian. Especially a doll like Talky Tina, who did talk and did commit murder – in the misty region of the Twilight Zone.”A very good Twlight Zone Episode Guide is at Croc’s Domain.
