On an isolated family farm, a young boy with vast mental powers, but lacking emotional development, holds his terrified family in thrall to his every juvenile wish.

I actually met Bill Mumy some 30 years ago, I noticed his name on the luggage tag, and I said, "you are Will Robinson"
And he said "Thank You", gave a tip and he went on his way, nice guy.
He played that part so well, I was scared on one hand and want3d to throttle him on the other.
That’s ACTING!
God I absolutely hate that episode. Little punk.
From the interviews I’ve seen, he’s a good guy and a excellent actor, a professional.
Only rivaled by Patty McCormack in ‘The Bad Seed’.
Maybe the story is an allegory of how simpletons can destroy others with their childish , hateful minds. And how other folks can be frightened into submission to the destructive minds evil desires. Another “just sayin’” journey in the twilight zone.
He is a nice guy. Shows up on Coast to Coast AM on occasion. That episode was on last week on MeTv, I could not watch it. Little jerk.

Wow, was I wrong. From the excerpt I thought this was going to be about Bill Gates when he was a child.
That is a good assessment.i like it.
One of the greatest episodes of the Twilight zone.
Serling was genious.
“Little jerk.”
That’s why they call it acting. :)
My all time favorite episode was the nuclear disaster one with Charles Bronson and Elizabeth Montgomery. “Two” 1961. Barely a complete sentence in the whole wpisode.
Wait ... Will Robinson was Lennier? I never put that together ... he seemed familiar; now I know why!
And she was hotness.
Black haired.
And a short skirt.
A good actor can make you love his character in one show and want to hang his character from the nearest yardarm in the next.
The best episode with practically no dialogue at all was Agnes Moorehead in The Invaders’. Fabulous acting job.
