Directed by Jodie Foster.
Rose and Charles are an old unhappy couple. Rose always wants more. She's always complaining about what the neighbor has and why she doesn't have it. That is, until a box is accidentally delivered to them saying, "DO NOT OPEN THIS BOX". The Postman soon comes by wanting this box, so Rose hides it. The Postman, expecting the box gives her anything she desires, while Charles just wants to give him his box back. When he finally receives the box, he realizes that it's been opened and it needs to be refilled. This was just a really nice episode, with great direction by Jodie Foster. It's dark, but not too dark, and it works really well as a Darkside episode! Can be found on VHS volume 1.
My rating: Perfect episode. 22 mins. TV PG
