In 1961, “The Twilight Zone” The premise of “Itʹs a Good Life” is simple. A tiny town is cut off from reality by six-year-old Anthony Freemont, who combines a childʹs naturally amoral selfishness with limitless mental powers.

The showʹs impact has never lessened: On one episode of “The Drew Carey Show”, Drewʹs visiting parents go missing. “Oh, no,” he says, “I hope I havenʹt wished them into the cornfield.” It was a tribute to a classic.
