Never saw it, eh? A classic! We watched it about a week ago on the Sci-Fi Channel. Pure Dandelion Wine, this story.

Nard,

Thank ye! for the explanation.

Kick the Can is great, and shows that GCJ could definitely "do" Bradbury - this episode serves to prove that his other TZ episode Something In The Dark is a Bradbury homage/pastiche rather than a rip-off.

Ye is a good word.

Seriously thinking of taking George Clayton up on his invite over to his house. George heartily provides much indication that he reallllly liked the 1960's. Wonder if he has a lot of left-over-gems from his abundant writings of the 20th century gone by.
