First Anniversary

A great story line with great acting by all. Clint Howard running from that monster, I mean wife was a great scene. "you heard of perfect beauty this is perfect ugliness" This happened to me once and maybe it happens to all of us. You meet the perfect mate only to find out you've met the most imperfect mate. I didn't meet a monster and we left as friends but this really hits home. I would like to see a movie based on this.

This has been one of my favorite episodes of what's been one of my favorite tv series since i was a kid watching it in the 90s...as i got older it tripped me out more and more and made me think more and more...like at least half the episodes of the series it ends in disaster and i always imagined what i would do in a situation like this as I've always been very open minded but what he finds out is an all out assault on all his senses not just the one or two senses that become a problem in real life .it's a classic episode that I've always told people about and everyone that watches it Loves It.

When I first saw this episode I thought it was entertaining but a little silly, like I was watching one of those sci-fi movies from the 50s or 60s. But now that I watch it again I realized the subliminal message that it points to. Which changes my concept to a great episode. It all begins with a widowed man who meets a beautiful woman, falls in love and gets married, she in turn introduces a friend to a friend of his and they follow the same steps. The strange thing begins to happen when after a while both men begin to have hallucinations where they perceive anomalies in their respective wives until they suspect that in reality you are not those beautiful women but rather horrifying monsters. The subliminal plot shows how many times when we meet someone we idealize them as the perfect person and over time we begin to see the defects that we did not see at first and that many even show a fake friendly side to show themselves as they really are. With the passage of time.

This was an episode that is a favorite of many people, and until I watched it for myself, I never did appreciate why that was.

It had a perfect combination of comedy, sci-fi, thriller, drama, and a reflection upon our own lives, as it relates to how and what our long-term relationships all-to-often end-up becoming, regardless of our best efforts to make the best of the situation.

The acting was very good, the special-effects were what you would expect for 1995 production-value, but it is the story that means everything.

This is well-worth your time, as virtually every episode in this amazing series.
