I love these old shows. A lot of thought and effort went into these stories.

[@paultheaudaciousbradford6772]

Wow!! In 1965, we’re eliminate crime forever. Can’t wait!!

[@TommygunNG]

Wiping away memories of past crimes does not change character.

Halarious. The infant days of television was a blooper a minute. The twilight zone took many of these ideas and twisted them around a bit to make them classics.

"You'll take the twelve two o'clock plane". Aw yes, live television.

good episode

[@baronvonnembles]

Calhoun, who seems to have been a bumptious sort for such an important mission, was played by Dennis Patrick who played Vaughn Leland on Dallas. Patrick died in a fire in 2002.

The good old truth.

[@supressorgrid]

I am suffering LSD flashbacks or else the screen is acting funny.

[@tommax26]

Relax... it is NOT you. It's the old video.

[@rogerscottcathey]

Thank youtube interpolation or center framing or whatever. There's a bit of the "soap opera" effect but most disturbing is how the background warps and seems to move. It used to annoy the hell out me, but now find it interesting that it seems somehow to give a three-dee effect. I'd like to know how merely frame centering allows more or less parts of the background to become visible then blocked.

[@glitchnyrmatrix7296]

No, the walls aren't breathing.... You are having a flashback.

[@NoahSpurrier]

It is an artifact of digital stabilization.

Since when does "lie detector test" results out shine tangible evidence, such as a photo of the perpetrator caught in the act? LOL "I don't understand it...he's beaten The Lie Detector!" dant dant dhaaaa!!! I used to think the music they used here to express anxiety, were only used in old comedy sketches as an exaggeration of the real music. I was wrong.

[@genkatqltr737]

Please remember this was 1952, the infancy of television. EVERYTHING was brand new, being invented and tried for the first time. Music, gimmicks, twists and turns in plots, special effects, inventions. That's the drawback nowadays, it's all been said and done before, too many times, too easy to figure things out.

[@DS-uo5ie]

I took the test and I passed!

[@rmandrums1959]

Less crime in the future. No need for police. Yep, people will just be getting better and better. I guess that is why our crime rate is so low. Well, this show did get one thing correct...people feel that as long as it is good for themselves then they have done nothing wrong.

[@Gohot229]

You woman, get to washing those dishes....... get..!

[@marbleman52]

Yea...and be sure you are barefoot & pregnant....!! But first bring me the paper and my pipe...!!

[@LS69FREESTYLE]

I kind of knew that hypnotism was used after these crimes were committed; this was they would believe their own lies.(ls69freestyle) 1965 was a good year, I was only 22.

[@timothypage252]

All the real-life thing does is look at perspiration, wiggling in your chair, and you heart-rate. So many things, not to mention simple natural variance, can easily make the results inaccurate. It is useless when you know what it measures. The MYTH of the "Lie Detector" is the true power of it's use in interrogation, but knowledge of it dispels that myth.

[@myrnagroger132]

"Golly", An early Lie Detector. "IF YOU BELIEVE A LIE IS THE TRUTH, THEN YOU'RE TRULY LYING." hMMMM.(LS)

[@vickygroce6217]

65 looks like 51.

[@hoytbullock4504]

Ya know....If I hear that watch band "jingle" one more time, I think I will kill myself.....

[@genkatqltr737]

Welcome to the tv world of us born back then! 👵

[@NoahSpurrier]
