Trivia
Ray Bradbury submitted several scripts to The Twilight Zone, but this was the only one produced.

Goofs
At the end, all three siblings go off to college at the same time. How could all three be the same age, unless they were triplets, adopted or a combination of something else? This quandary is not explained in the story. However, it's more likely that two of the children were already in college when the third was entering college.

Quotes

Narrator: They make a fairly convincing pitch here. It doesn't seem possible, though, to find a woman who must be ten times better than Mother, in order to seem half as good - except, of course, in The Twilight Zone.
