While watching an episode of the Twilight Zone to on SYFY channel, wouldn't you
know it?? I spotted two TAGS alumni. The episode was titled, "The Bewitchin'
Pool". Original airdate was June 19,1964. Written by Earl Hamner Jr. of the
Walton fame. The father in the program is played by Tod Andrews aka
Inspector Ralph Case who comes to Mayberry and gives Andy and Barney such a
hard time. He is also in one other episode of TAGS as Mr. Franklin in "A
Girl For Goober".
This is the episode where Goober claims to read 30 books a month on the dating
questionnaire. 30 comics books, that is.
The other TAGS alumni that was in this Twilight Zone episode was the little boy
named "George" who runs away from home and lands at the Taylor's house.
Something else that was very interesting about this TZ episode was that the
lead child was played by the actress Mary Badham who's name is SCOUT in this
episode. Mary Badham is the little girl named SCOUT in the movie TO KILL A
MOCKINGBIRD. Maybe Mary liked to be called SCOUT.
