This is one episode which has me stuck in the middle. Several fine character actors appear, but they've all been better in other places. Burgess Meredith plays a perpetual loser who gains super-human strength, courtesy of two unseen aliens. The story is gloriously silly, and doesn't really benefit from Meredith's presence. His performance was generic. Don Rickles appears as a bully who is always picking on Dingle. Rickles is quite unlikeable here, perhaps in training for his "insult humor" thing. This is definitely an episode which could have been better, but ended up only passable.
