"Say I'm weary, say I'm sad, Say that health and wealth have missed me, Say I'm growing old, but add,
Jenny kissed me."
This week on The Hindsight Zone, we're talking about a well-intentioned episode about a friendship between a (seemingly) elderly gentleman and a young girl that's aged about as poorly as any Twilight Zone episode in the canon. That's right, it's Season 3, Episode 25: The Fugitive.
We're breaking down each beat that rubbed us the wrong way, discussing how these moments may have landed differently for a 1960s audience, and revealing Suzy's hidden talent (it's impersonating Ben Shapiro).
PLEASE NOTE: Due to the unavoidable impression this episode leaves on a modern audience, our coverage includes some non-graphic discussion of child sexual abuse. Feel free to skip this one if that's not for you!
Next Week on The Hindsight Zone: Season 3, Episode 24: To Serve Man
