"Room with a View" - Cranky invalid Jacob Bauman (a nicely grouchy portrayal by Joseph Wiseman) uses his sweet nurse Frances Nevins (a delightful and adorable Diane Keaton) as a means of getting revenge on his adulterous wife Lila (a perfectly frosty turn by the gorgeous Angel Tompkins). While this segment has a predictable outcome, it nevertheless remains enjoyable thanks to the vivacious presence of Keaton right before she became a big star.
"The Little Black Bag" - Two down and out winos stumble across a medical bag from the future with all sorts of advanced items in it that can cure everything from cancer to arthritis. Burgess Meredith and Chill Wills are both terrific in their juicy parts, with Meredith tackling his role of a disgraced drunken former doctor given a last chance at redemption with his trademark delicious relish while Wills nails the greedy and selfish nature of his decidedly unappealing character. The ironic ending packs a strong punch, too.
"The Nature of the Enemy" - The staff at NASA mission control try to figure out what caused astronauts on the moon to vanish. Joseph Campanella does solid work as a NASA head honcho while Jason Wingreen and James Sikking lend sound support as a couple of pesky reporters. Moreover, the deadpan shaggy dog joke premise concludes on a hilariously ridiculous note.
