I enjoyed the 80's production values of the episode. The "technical difficulties" would have played well on TV at the time, though now they're liable to be misinterpreted as glitches in one's Internet data stream! I was particulary terrified by the lead actor's moustache. By the way, the script for "Dreams for Sale" was written by Joe Gannon, who (among many other accomplishments) designed the stage set for Alice Cooper's legendary 1973 "Billion Dollar Babies" tour. We've been watching some first-season episodes of the original TZ on DVD, which debuted 50 years ago in October of 1959. I recently learned that series creator Rod Serling, a native of Syracuse, went to college in Ohio (Antioch, in Yellow Springs). The Great Midwest - font of our nation's creativity.

I love the story. I just watched this twilight zone episode on youtube called 'dreams for sale.' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeJgK0PTGp4 I didn't realize they were still filming and in color in the 1980s. Though wikipedia tells me there was a revival in the 80s and another one in 2002. Who knew? Anyway, I just watched it yesterday so this reminded me of that. Woh. Intense. I love the story.
