I watched for an hour. Since it hasn’t been mentioned, one I caught the **I Sing the Body Electric** , written by Ray Bradbury and starring Larry Tate and Lumpy Rutherford’s Little sister. I had seen it before, but it has been a long, long time so it seemed new.

You REALLY wanna’ bawl your your eyes out? Catch “The Trade-Ins”[with Joseph Schildkraut and Alma Platt] JS is even better in “Death’s Head Revisited”[it’s the one about the concentration camp]
