Season 1, Episode 22: “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street”
Again, this is not one of the better acted episodes.
I began skipping at around the 13 minute mark (it took that long because I hoped it would get better / it didn’t).
Everything I thought would come about did.
The lead actor is Claude Akins (far left in the picture). I didn’t bother looking for the actor who’s front and centre.
“From left: Claude Akins as Steve Brand, Mary Gregory as Sally, Jack Weston as Charlie, Burt Metcalf as Don, and Jason Johnson as Old Man/Man One in “The Monsters are Due on Maple Street”.
Original airdate on March 4, 1960″.
Actually, Jack Weston was one of those actors who seems to have a part in every old TV show, but you never can remember his name or just where you saw him.
Never the lead… the neighbor, the cop, or the guy behind the counter.
I am thinking this is AI. The little girl on the left has no legs, and a left arm like a stevedore. The little girl on daddy’s lap has the leg (only one) of a giraffe.
On a much smaller scale, this happens about two miles from my house…
If you go the back way to the next town, instead of taking the freeway like most people do, you’re on a little used curving street …
On one side theres a narrow strip of public park, outside the fence that protects a golf course and a small man-made lake.
On the other side there are only some low trees and bushes edging the freeway fence.
There are much more scenic parks than this little strip of grass, so it’s mostly left to the ducks and geese who’ve pretty much made the picnic tables unusable.
They can fly right over the golf course fence and enjoy the lake, but they also love the thick greenery by the freeway.
In some seasons, traffic is often stopped in both directions, not by a crossing guard or policeman, but just by the good natured and hopefully careful drivers who notice a small feathered family trying to get to the other side.
I’ve never seen anyone look annoyed, or honk, or seem to raise any objection even while Mama Duck pushes each little duckling up the curb onto the grass.
We’ve done this one before… I know it’s been quite a while because I didn’t remember where she was, and had to search all over again.
I do remember someone commenting about all the owls….
Mr Dudolf didn’t draw any muzzles on the wolves that face us directly… Their noses are highlighted with a bit of a white shine, and yes, to me, too, they look more like owls than wolves.
But then, many of his creatures look alike. That way he can hide them more easily in puzzles.
Anyway… If you don’t want to watch a video to check your answer, you can just
no shoulder harness, no seatbelt, no roll bar—but plenty fast and solidly built enough so that in a high speed contact with an immovable object, to transfer all energy to the hapless but brave driver.
the guys that raced in this era are comparable, in my opinion, to the brave pilots who zoomed off to machine-gun each other in rickety airplanes with NO parachutes
Do you see a dog?
I see a dog, but unfortunately, I don’t see anything I would feed to a dog.
Not this bag of mostly corn with a small amount of low protein “meat byproducts”. It’s only balanced if you carry a bag in each hand.
It might be ok for those ducks… I don’t know much about duck nutrition, but I think they eat a lot of grain.
Dogs. No.
I’m glad they’re making better dog food nowadays. You still need to look for it, but it’s there.
Great looking bunch of dogs.
That nice old leather couch is looking a bit under the weather, though.
You would too, after 4 or 5 hundred pounds of basset hounds and 3 gallons of drool every day.
..
And the Twilight Zone episode is…
I saw it not to long ago.
You should know a few of the faces.
It’s amazing how much talent went through that show.

I remember Jack Weston as Richard Crenna’s partner in crime in the 1967 Audrey Hepburn/Alan Arkin thriller, ‘Wait until Dark’

Weston had a long successful career. Without being a major star. I’d say he did good.

The one with the nine differences didn’t post…
The windows look like they should have numbers on them….
You open one every day in December and find a little molded chocolate bell or Santa.
By British artist VICTOR McLINDON
I found Santa. There is also a couple putting the x back into x-mas.
It’s only PG at this point😁

Nah…. I’ll just stay back a little.

“And Daddy got you a new robot Mommy for Christmas…”
Stepford wife?
Stepford family
I am thinking this is AI. The little girl on the left has no legs, and a left arm like a stevedore. The little girl on daddy’s lap has the leg (only one) of a giraffe.
Mommy’s ankles are bigger in circumference than her neck.
And she has gigantic feet and shoes… with their heels at a completely wrong angle.
Yes!
That might explain the weird decoration in the corner.
And whatever it is, who would set it on the arm of the couch?
The one-long-legged little girl has bare, malformed shoulders (?) and no arms… or maybe only half of a right arm.
Her dress doesn’t fit anything, and her father’s hand
.. is… well… let’s just say it’s unfortunately placed.
Not to mention RoboMom’s legs, feet and hair.
Before I saw what you guys posted, I was about to say Mommy came in the box with the tree.
and after xmas is over, they can stuff her back in the box she came in
As they should. Eek.
does look kind of forced and robotic doesn’t it?

find gramma amongst. the big bad wolfs
Now even Dudolf is putting in bad music.
Yeah, okay…
Got her!
We’ve done this one before… I know it’s been quite a while because I didn’t remember where she was, and had to search all over again.

Makes me think of this song by Burl Ives:
As a little boy, we had a record of Burl Ives singing songs for children. It included Big Rock Candy Mountain. I loved that record.
Looks like the deluxe edition of Candyland.
“I’m ready for my closeup, Mr. DeMille…”
this is simply the end shot
Turn your sound off for this one; unless you like poorly chosen music.
Big “NOPE ! ! !” from Happy³ on this one?
With either one, I’d only be qualified to hold my side of the cube.
Nope!
Someting wrong with the first one. The second one is amazing.
I’ll repost it on its own (they both work for me on testing, but WordPress……).
They both work for me…. Even though I also say nope.
I LOVE poorly chosen music….what do you think I post everyday?
With those eyes how could you not see her?

How about the bystanders? No rail or barrier.
equally deplorable
The difference, to me, between the pilots and the race car drivers, is the perceived necessity for their actions.
I’m sure you don’t mean to compare risking their lives fighting for their country to risking them in a race.
same kind of courage no matter the reward
From today’s London “Daily Mail” (it sounds good).
A gammon joint is a cured but as yet uncooked ham.
Mad.
In case anybody’s wondering what they knew about AI back then (wow, was it really 50 years ago??)….
Here’s the actual cover for Mad #166, that came out in April of 1974.
I love this!
