This particular Twilight Zone episode was written for its star. I can't see anyone other than Wally Cox playing the computer geek/nerd in this story, defining such an individual before 'geek' and 'nerd' entered the language.
Before personal computers were a recognized thing such a concept in 1964 wa inconceivable to many. The giant brains were what they thought of back then as the latest in artificial intelligence. This computer has been named Agnes and as if someone programmed it into her she's a jealous woman.
While trying to get data for a proposed Venus space flight, Agnes jumps into Cox's love life as he tries to make some time with Sue Randall.
Oddly enough Randall was in the Tracy/Hepburn film about a giant computer brain Desk Set.
This one is funny enough, but unless you are a fan of Wally Cox I don't think you'll like this Twilight Zone story.
