Featured review
Nice little Christmas treat with Night of the Meek!
This 1985 episode is special for it's episode "Night of the Meek" which is actually a remake of an original episode with Art Carney. This time around you have veteran Richard Mulligan who plays a lonely and depressed drunken Santa who works for a cruel store manager. After being fired this Santa receives a bit of Christmas magic and a miracle, a magical bag of gifts for the most needy and poor! A night to remember, certainly one of the best Twilight episodes ever because it brings good joy, and it was only fitting this episode aired right before Christmas in 1985 and Richard Mulligan done such a great job as Santa! The second little piece is nothing special, but just a glance into the future and it showed how technology came to help us! It stars Pam Dawber as an overworked and under-appreciated secretary who finds that magic can come from a copy machine and help with work! And finally the third story involves a space tale which is dull in my opinion with genre sci-fi legend Fritz Weaver as a space explorer who discovers an old planet. Really just watch this episode for the first story "Night of the Meek" it's heart touching and well done with Richard Mulligan, especially watch it at Christmas. This episode is available on the season 1 set of the 1985 series.
