Quotes

Ron the barber: I remember once I was giving a guy in the hospital a haircut, and he died right when I finished. His head slumped forward, you know, and I thought he wanted me to trim more off the back. I'm goin', shoppin' like a you know what at the back of this guy's neck and the guy in the next bed says to me: hey, I think he's taken his last haircut. That's how I found he was dead.

Ricky Nelson enters The Twilight Zone

The summary is incorrect: Ricky does not go to "My Three Sons." First, he enters "Leave It to Beaver," then he goes to "Father Knows Best" and finally he does hear the call of "is that you Ricky?" But it is from Lucy (Gilda) as he has gone to the Ricardo residence on "I Love Lucy."
