I mean, that's the perfect babysitting episode where, you could leave your kids and knew we'd behave because the Twilight Zone or Outer Limits would keep in line. No kid after watching those two shows dared to misbehave.

What if they saw this episode of TZ? I'd think they could be REAL brats!

It's a Good Life (1961)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It's_a_Good_Life_(The_Twilight_Zone)

Six-year-old Anthony Fremont (Billy Mumy) terrorizes and controls his town by disfiguring or killing people. On a whim, he can wish people into the “cornfield” or transform them into a jack-in-the-box if they don’t think happy thoughts or otherwise act according to his wishes—just by using his mind. Every day is a living hell for the people in Peaksville, Ohio.

In early 2003, a Twilight Zone revival series on UPN showed a sequel called “It’s Still a Good Life” in which Bill Mumy reprised his Anthony Fremont role. His on-screen daughter was played by his real-life daughter Liliana Mumy. Cloris Leachman also returned as his mother.

The "new" Zone did a followup with Billy Mumy where he brought everyone back. DUMB.
