am I the only one just enjpys this episode, it's very good and sad :') no creepy moments, no villain, no cruel twist, just sweet robot woman who cares about 3 children, even the one who's being mean becuase she misses her mother. it's beautiful T_T
This is such an underrated episode to me. Bradbury didn't clarify every last detail about circumstances in the plot for those who like things all in place that way. And of course looking back at the beginnings of television we have to remember limitations of programs using the right amount of imagination to enjoy them fully. What he did was to replace a missing mother with the intervention of something so different as a robot with its programmed brain inviting us to examine shared existence of our world with other beings and the meaning of a soul. That's plain enough with the title "i sing the body electric" from whitman who talks directly about the soul. I remember the grandmother leaving in the end respecting her duty but seemingly heartbroken - hardly a dead thing. I think Bradbury did that to suggest love is a very ubiquitous and not just between humans in bodies and perhaps projecting robots will one day be capable of love like us. That is pretty deep stuff for a kid but the story works for a child as many of us that had surrogates in our lives can probably attest. But the adult theme works too and I still enjoy thinking about the deeper meanings in that episode. Twilight Zoners who liked it all scary did not rate this well but to me its one of the best.
I very much agree that this is 1 of the finest TZ episodes and is 1 of the greatest episodes ever to be broadcast on television, if I may be so bold. And that MUSIC … (as a side note to the greatness of the episode) Imagine how ahead of its time that one synthesizer patch was back then!
I love this episode. I always get teary eyed when Anne finally breaks down and reveals the source of her anger. Veronica Cartwright really did a fantastic job with the character.
Ray Bradbury in the 50's has identified and talked about artificial intelligence, the robots learning from the people using them. Classic machine learning. Maye that is where the movement came from.
A relatively rare technology-optimistic episode. It's coming too, digital assistants will become flying drone assistants and finally humanoid assistants.
Alternate ending: she lovingly sends the kids off to college, and when she finally turns to leave, reverts to a cold robotic stare. That’s how I thought Serling would have it, but no.
I wish I had the grandma to help me with my special needs daughter. I wish I could buy one of those robots. Reminds me of the Movie Bicentennial Man. This is my favorite Twilight Zone episode...
Boy, I always thought this was Angela Cartright all these years and now I realize it was her older sister. I just found out little Ricky wasn't Desi Arnez, Jr. on I Love Lucy either.
I was so inspired by this when I was a kid. We could never imagine the world we live in now. And the great responsibly to preserve it. Its seems that AI is simply an extension of our own consciousness.
I feel bad 4 the girl who said her. "MOM, LIED 2 HER." by saying she loved her, the girl WHO TRIED 2 KILL HERSELF, was the SAME WAY HER MOM KILLED HERSELF.!!. 😭💔
The term "WAY ahead of his time..." is probably the understatement of the century, when describing the amazing minds of Rod Serling and Ray Bradberry

I totally agree. This and the one with the old couple who want young bodies.
Yea. Shows that the twilight zone is not just the embodiment of cruel twists or nightmare fuel

That's Larry who was Darren's boss on Bewitched. Angela Cartwright 's sister sure looks like her.
She sure does!

"It replays each of the days, A hundred years of routines"
That will be our future, rejected people building their lovers and loved ones..
Good
Love Ray bradbury.one of my favorite writers. Followed him since high School. His passing was a major loss.
I think he's the bank President in psycho and the dad in improvement Salvatore Ross He's a good actor
One of the best episodes I loved this one ❤
Ray Bradberry one of my favorite mystery writers. 3-3'2020
Ordering a grandma like take out food Its the 21st century and we still don't have this
Wow! Just like Build-a-Bear at the mall.
A relatively rare technology-optimistic episode. It's coming too, digital assistants will become flying drone assistants and finally humanoid assistants.
Larry Tate has seen much stranger things anytime he goes to the Stevens’ residence.
Elizabeth Montgomery, Dick York and Agnes moorehead from Bewitched, have all appeared on episodes of the Twilight zone. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
I never saw this episode.
I'm surprised that the kids didn't freak out.
This episode made me CRY LIKE A BABY!!!!!!

Hard to believe the oldest daughter is the same woman that played “Lambert” in Alien!
Wow
@@philosophicalactions9376Veronica Cartwright was originally cast as Ripley, until the director saw Sigourney Weaver's audition.

The robot says she'll never leave but when the kids all leave for college at the same time (even though they're all different ages) she leaves.
Scarlet Black-Little Ricky was played by Keith Tibbedeau. ...TONY
I was hoping the girl picked the long haired wig. Lol it looked like the best option up there.
my gess, ray and rod... amazing!
Terri Exactly 👏& 👏 3-3-2020
The armies of those I love engirth me and I engirth them...
Let's hope that AI and Robotics does not go too far with something like this.
Wow its quite like a bunch of will Robinsons and Ronald Howards freaky.
Love this episode .. does anyone have the full episode would love to see it.
Is the girl with the ponytail in the birds film?Think she is.
Yep! Veronica Cartwright.

Penny from Lost in Space.
Her sister. Angela Cartwright played Penny. This is Veronica Cartwright.
@@essaboselin5252 from "Alien" and "the birds"
I like how they put the eyes on roses. 0:52
The father is larry from bewitched..

The music is quite “homey” in contrast to the horror
That’s penny from lost in space!
No, that’s Veronica Cartwright. Angela Cartwright is Veronica‘s youngest sister.
