I don't like that that word when referring to people but it's often used for people who don't fit everyone's ideas about what normal . The thing is Charley doesn't really want to try and it asks the question is that so bad? On a smaller more intimate scale than other episodes such as The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street or Number 12 Looks Just Like You . Miniature is very personal it's also in a world more typically as we know it not dystopian or on the verge of large scale disaster or even a neighborhood that jumps to a lot of wild conclusions it's just a simple life of everyday people. That's actually very profound because that's how most people who don't fit in live . They are just a bit out of the mainstream but not in all ways just in one or two or even three ways that they are not so lockstep. People like that are sometimes called quirky , odd, eccentric, the list goes on .
In this particular case Charley is just a very quiet man who doesn't want to do everything the so called normal guy wants. His family is not even horrible to him just concerned and maybe a little at a loss on how to help him. He tries to go along but it doesn't work it's just not for him.
Charley's ideal world fits in a doll house and ultimately that's where he ends up but not in the horror movie kind of a few episodes have . He gets happily ever after and one of the times it's actually on the the main characters terms.
