- Quotes
Rod Serling - Narrator: [Closing Narration] Lewis J. Bookman, age sixtyish. Occupation: pitchman. Formerly a fixture of the summer, formerly a rather minor component to a hot July. But, throughout his life, a man beloved by the children, and therefore, a most important man. Couldn't happen, you say? Probably not in most places - but it did happen in the Twilight Zone.

What a Zone Episode Should Be
One for the Angels typifies the best in a Twilight Zone episode; a lovely mix of spooky, charming, science fiction, dark twists, and just plain funny. Ed Wynn is brilliant as the Pitch Man and neighborhood avuncular figure who meets the embodiment of death. How he handles both the news and his apparent fate make for an entertaining episode. Our parting lesson is not as grandiose in presentation as in other Zone episodes (which is actually welcomed), and the simplicity of it leaves the viewer with a smile. Justly delightful.
