Terrific TV Toys: Mystery Box, Part 2 (but this time we know it's wall art)

We had so much fun opening the mystery box of last month's Terrific non-TV Toys episode that we decided to do another blind-box opening. This episode was actually shot earlier, when artist Jim of Jim's Creations in Canada sent this author some art for the wall of her home's "Wilson Room." I mean, I knew it was art for my wall, going in, because obviously it's in a long mailer tube, and Jim has sent me prints of his amazing art several times before. But what this art actually was, I had no idea until I opening it. So step along with this #unboxing!

And that's going to round out the year for the two BRBTV collectibles series! Wow that flew by fast, didn't it? Look for the updated episode guide on New Year's Day here on this blog, and have a wonderful, happy holiday season, however you celebrate it.

Just Beneath the Surface (Episode 19 - Is King Nine a Good Episode?)

A man roaming the African desert, his WWII bomber plane having just gone down. He's looking for his crew. He's calling out their names. They're nowhere to be found. He's all alone in this bleak 1940s landscape. But why? Where did they go? It's the classic "Twilight Zone" episode "King Nine Will Not Return," and it was the opener for the iconic series' second season. It was also based on real-life events -- at least the foundation of the story was. Rod Serling certainly put his own twist on it -- took a news headline and gave it a "what if?" scenario. The episode's lead actor is Bob Cummings of 1950s TV fame. 

Brian and Bruce discuss this episode -- and whether or not it's worthwhile to watch -- in the latest episode of "Just Beneath the Surface" ...
