The Twilight Zone: Mr. Dingle, the Strong (1961)
Season 2, Episode 19
6/10
Silly Time
27 October 2014
Burgess Meredith plays meek vacuum cleaner salesman Luther Dingle, who often hangs out in a local bar with two other regulars, one of whom(played by Don Rickles) often uses Luther as his personal punching bag concerning Baseball & Boxing results. One day, two bizarre looking(but invisible) aliens arrive and use Dingle in an experiment, giving him massive strength, which of course he proceeds to squander in cheap stunts for television. Can poor Dingle stay strong, or is he not really so smart? Silly episode, with two pairs of ridiculous looking aliens is still amusing as long as you don't take it seriously(not what fans want from this series however...) A fine cast helps.
