    Bigfoot and big bird

    This episode had one very poor segment starring an extremely wooden Robert Morse, and he's very bad here, as a sailor looking to score with a bunch of women. That's original! Not. Cyd Charisse was the only notable face, save for what looks like the first acting gig for Michelle Pfeiffer. The story had an interesting premise, as Barney(Morse)thinks he's hot stuff, but realizes that he's about to be sacrificed. After that, the story just falls apart after a lame speech from Barney(Morse looks like a Barney too), as he just walks away from his impending death, and then leaves with a woman who would probably never give him the time of day normally. The better segment stars Peter Graves and Barbara Rush, as they both go on a journey looking for the elusive creature, while flying this ugly yellow glider. The best moment in the entire episode has them hearing a growl behind a bush during the evening hours. The creature's costume wasn't all that bad, and the segment also ended on a good note. It does seem to me, however, that both stories were rushed, and that took away what could've been a better episode.

    Existential Fantasy Island Question

    Is it really Big Foot and he had a fantasy to meet a human in the flesh? Or did a human have a fantasy to be Big Foot? Or some other unexplained phenomena?

    • Trivia
      Cyd Charisse also appears with Ricardo Montalban in a dance scene in the movie The Kissing Bandit (1948).
    • Goofs
      The Bigfoot footprints on the dirt are raised and obviously cast and placed on top of the dirt, instead of being deep indentations, which is what someone's heavy walking in dirt would naturally result in.
