Very entertaining.

Warning: Spoilers
I'll give this an 8 plus. (The following might be a spoiler) Mr. Bartlett Finchley is a snob and a sort of a Luddite who has through isolation & a miserable attitude about people, driven himself insane. Of course you have to ask yourself, "Why if he so despises mechanical things does he have so many of them?" Even if it's fairly clear what's going to happen by the end, definitely watch it. This episode is amusing, bordering on the hilarious and spiced with wonderful language and believable acting. Richard Haydn as Mr. Finchley is extremely entertaining. There are so many amusing touches in this episode. For example when Rod Serling is setting up the story he is telling it from Mr. Finchley's TV set. They must have had ball with this one.
