This particular monster can read your very thoughts, can feel your very emotions, can eliminate you in the blink of an eye...send you out in the cornfield along with all the other hideous monstrosities he has created. So you have to be wary how you act, how you think, how you look, even how you feel if you encounter said monster or else.

Who is our monster, you ask? Why he's Anthony Fremont...a 6 year old boy with an innocent baby face and the powers to change the world around him at his very will. He hates anyone who doesn't like him or thinks bad thoughts or doesn't like what he likes and can act against him or her as he pleases. A frightening power to be in the hands of someone so young but don't let him hear you think that.""

The TV episode featured '60's child star icon Billy Mumy (Will Robinson in 'Lost in Space')... If you do watch "Good Life" later on, also look for Cloris Leachman as the mother of Mumy, and character actor Max Showalter as one of the townspeople. Best remembered as Grandpa Fred in "Sixteen Candles"...

One of the most disturbing "TZ" episodes ever...
