As written by Earl Hamner Jr. ("The Waltons" creator), I was interested in the two children who deal with their unhappy family situation by visiting a fantasy land through a portal in their backyard swimming pool. This "Twilight Zone" episode was notable for production errors which could not be saved in post-production.
As posted in the episode's Trivia section, because of audio issues, dialog for all of the outdoor scenes were re-dubbed by almost the entire cast. Mary Badham was unable to assist so June Foray re-dubbed Badham's dialog, which was so noticeable, I could not watch the episode without being annoyed by the audio.
As a viewer, I should care less about a project's production issues and more about if the story was interesting and how it affect me. In this case, it's a shame that the producers were unable to resolve their technical problems likely due to running out of time and money.
