A bit of trivia: those junction boxes are still called B Boxes, for Bell Systems...even if Bell Systems is no more.

Serling tipped his hat to Bradbury's nostalgic, small-town stories in "Walking Distance" (where the main character acknowledges the home of a Doctor Bradbury) and "A Stop at Willoughby" (where the ad executive mentions "the Bradbury account").
