> Terrific episode for those who don't mind a dash of sci-fi in their Hitchcock. Young entrepreneur Peter Lazar sends away for a mushroom deal that promises quick profits by growing them in your own home. He's excited, and so are his Ozzie and Harriet parents. The next day a neighbor darkly summons Dad with incredible stories about people disappearing for no reason. Dad is unsettled since the neighbor seems so convincing, but then he becomes alarmed when the neighbor too inexplicably drops out of sight. What's going on?

Interesting that you mention that episode.
I watched it late night only about 2 weeks ago.
His kid was growing mushrooms in the basement.

And guess what happened to me. Right before the final scene, they
went to commercials and I dozed off. I was loving the show but
I missed the final scene. dammit!

Feel free to tell me what happened. Doubt it will be shown again
any time soon.
