Because they're awesome, Bruce and Brian at the Just Beneath the Surface podcast, who discuss classic "Twilight Zone" episodes from a modern perspective, took this author's request to review the wonderful episode "Little Girl Lost," my favorite TZ episode of all time. It also happens to be the very first TZ episode I ever saw. I remember it well; I was at the home of friends of the family, as a teen in the '80s, while my parents were hanging out playing cards in the next room, I believe. The TV was on, and this episode came on one of the independent TV stations in our area. What the frig is this show? I thought (well, maybe "what the frig" wasn't a thing back then). I had heard of this show but never watched it before. I was absolutely riveted. And chilled. It was so creepy. Can a little girl actually disappear through a portal in her bedroom? Could this happen to me or someone I know???? Well, OK, maybe I wasn't actually afraid of something like that happening, since I wasn't like 5 years old or anything, but the point was, the episode presented an unusual premise that was very interesting and chilling and did make you think.
Bruce and Brian offer their own take on the events of this story. Thanks, guys! Really enjoyed the discussion, and didn't realize the actress who portrayed the little girl was in that other (well-known) "Talky Tina" episode with Telly Savalas.
