"the test"
i have been on the trail of a certain episode called "the test", i thought i watched it as an episode from ray bradbury's theatre, late night on the usa channel years ago (??1993??). the story goes as 2 couples with young boys that live next to each other in a futuristic city have to take a government i.q. test when they reach a certain age. the story concludes with only one child coming back from the test because he failed it and the government killed the other child because he passed it.............great story. i really thought it was ray's story, i could be mistaken.

does anyone have any info on this????/

thanks

Hmmm...sounds like an episode of "The New Twilight Zone"--not the version airing now, of course. It aired some years ago on CBS I think.

Gotta get me some Henry Slesar--his stories are confused with Bradbury's so often, and this one tops the list!
