The Twilight Zone: Mr. Dingle, the Strong (1961)
Season 2, Episode 19
4/10
Too Good to Be True
4 October 2019
Warning: Spoilers
In "Mr Dingle, the Strong" a bumbling vacuum salesman unwittingly becomes the test subject of a Martian experiment giving him unbelievable strength. The aliens are curious to see what he does with his newfound powers, only to be disappointed when he just turns it into a circus act.

These are some comically bad alien costumes we get in this episode. It looks like a Halloween costume made for a set of 8 year old twins by their mother!

Beyond that note, there's not too much too add here. This is one of those Twilight Zone comedic episodes that I'm typically not fond of. This one isn't as bad as a lot of them but it's still not great. Half the episode is just us following around Dingle as he picks things up and tears them in half. It's all fairly uninteresting.
