- Norman Blane is a lonely man who spends his evenings with the television and TV dinners. Attempting to order a music album from a television advertisement, he accidentally dials the number of a mysterious woman. He apologizes for misdialing, but she lures him into an interesting conversation. He discovers her name is Mary Ann and she's apparently lonely too. The next day at work, he discusses with a colleague the events of the previous night. He wonders if he should try to meet this mysterious Mary Ann....

"I have five kids" You can feel the pain in his voice😂😂😂
I remember taking a "risk" watching these as a kid. Sometimes they scared the hell out of me, sometimes they were entertaining.🤷🏽♂️
It's what's fascinating about fairy tales that they linger even as adults ...
Me too....there is always a Lesson to learn in each story you know.
True that. Except my Twilight Zone was in black and white and Rod Serling was still alive 😊
He actually thinks that he is that honest.
The black and white ones used to scare me as a kid in the 1970s watching the 60s rerun’s
"I'm Larry and this is my brother Daryl and this is my other brother Daryl."😂
😂😂😂
I used to fall asleep to Newhart reruns when I was kid. 😅
Was about to put that lol
@@bearwarren8789 Back in the day that was very funny, and like all good humor it never gets old 😂
My boss is name Daryl and we still use this joke on him 😂@@curtisbrown5939
That brought a tear to my eye, especially towards the end. I am getting so soft in my old age.
♫♪
You're not getting soft, you're learning to appreciate the valuable and beautiful things in life - things that didn't seem important when we were dizzy, confused, impressionable teenagers.
I used to watch Twilight Zone with my grandma.
One of the best episodes of the new series.
It's good but the late 90's Canada version was better
Even today this episode is amazing to watch!!!!!!!!
He indeed dialled the wrong number, he wrote down number ending in 12 when the advertisment stated number ending in 21
I like how the writers threw in a little comedy with that odd couple co worker thing
"Hi, I'm Larry, this my TV dinner and this is my other TV Dinner".
😂
Everytime I see this guy I think of that scene in blade runner where pris ask sebastian, " how do I look"? And he says , " you look beautiful " hahahaha
The way he said it was priceless, like a shy 10 year old. Hahaha
I also realized character "Norman Blane" in this episode has a nice looking "Anton Chigurh" haircut.
I was just thinking a mistaken call like that just might save someone's life
What a beautiful thought! ❤️🇮🇪
When I was young, I loved watching this show/ I when I found them here… I can only say - thank you 🙏 ❤
@henriksalomaa8564 - ♫♪✿
Hey its Larry from Newhart! as Norman Blaine
wheres his brother Daryl, and his other brother Daryl? 😄
Every time I see this episode I enjoy it again. The loneliness and love. Great 👍

Imagine getting caught trying to kiss a statue
Like Major Nelson in I Dream Of Jeanie was kissing a mannequin......
Have to admit, I've been caught doing worse.
Luckily, that security guard stepped in before he got even weirder on that bronzed beauty.
Love is what matters. Not what others think of those in love or what we do to show our love. Only love matters.
Love is so powerful, I’ve felt like this before. I’d love to see a modern remake of this.
an excellent idea !
Wow , awesome to see Don Felder doing a bit of acting , You can check out anytime you like , but you can never leave .
Awww ... so beautiful! ❤
♫♪
This reminds me of the classic TZ ep with Robert Duvall where he falls in love with a doll in a doll house at the museum.
!!
The Miniature. It's almost universally at the top of everyone's list for the best hour long episodes.
Thank you for uploading the intro - brings me straight back to childhood. Nice to have it here.
I love this intro more so than the og
This guy is a really good actor as THE average joe kinda guy.
absolutely !
Yes, a sad sack with a lot of love to give. Fragile yet resilient.
@@GrisouIII - Above all, he looks for the love on the outside that he does not feel for himself on the inside. Little by little, like an addict, he has to fill his half-empty glass with someone else. This is not true love, but what is called "romantic love." A trading company, "Take away my fear, I'll take away yours." - It's about blowing confetti into your own hair, being complete with healthy boundaries, standards. And not to put your needs above your own values. And then without fail get involved with a woman who is not an addict herself, who is looking for salvation outside. Through a guru, therapist or a new love. - So Norman and this woman both are doomed.
I truly love this actor he makes me feel a little uncomfortable because he’s so real and not very good at acting but at the same time he’s really good at acting I can’t really put my finger on it
Sheriff Dearborn
He played the robotics guy who created the robots in Blade Runner. Rutger Hauer killed him in the end.
He is a good actor. He somehow makes his folksy way about him seem naturally unnatural. Kind of how people are when they first meet.
@truthseeker EXACTLY..that makes him a great act… I really felt his emotions 😍
Thus actor played a great sympathetic kind role in Blade Runner. He also had no friends but created mechanical toys for company due to his loneliness.
😄 That was to cool !
I loved it.
The real horror here is having nothing to do in the evening but watch bad 80s TV and eat bad 80s TV dinners. Poor guy.
Hey! That's my life. Except with noodles 🍜😅
I'm gonna call the art museum. Maybe I'll get lucky.
maybe the stoned cashier
Scott Mçkày Or you could come to my motel and I'l introduce you to mother.😈😈
Take some Brasso with you
This episode reminds me greatly of the Twighlight Zone episode where the same type of quiet very lonely man falls on love with a tony beautiful doll living in a dolls house in a museum. His mother makes him see a psychiatrist but he just wants to be left alone. Very touching and heart rendering.
@elenavonpavel-pitts3442 - also a romantic- (the term "romantic love" because it is not clear whether it is a "true love", which is very rare) -fantastic love story that captivates you...
You're right. Episode is called "Miniature" with Robert Duvall. Very touching.
Hey! I've seen that one. It's one of my favorite Twilight episodes. He eventually becomes a doll in that museum doll house, and lives happily ever after.
Hi. My name is Larry, and this is my brother Darrell, and this is my other brother Darrell...
Plot twist: Mary Ann is calling from an island in the Pacific. Her friend the Professor has hooked up communications with the outside world, and Mary Ann has become a siren, using the phone to lure men to the island, from which there's no escape...
Okay, I'm gonna watch the movie now. Had to get that off my chest. 😝🤣⚓
@miapdx503 - Victim, perpetrator? Mary Ann as a victim of her childish, wounded ego. Out of fear, looking for salvation outside...
Another child in an adult's body resonates with her...
So many notable directors, writers and actors in this series. For instance , the writer of this episode, J. Michael Strazynski, went on to create Babylon 5. Also, the actor who played Norman, William Sanderson, played J.F. Sebastian in Blade Runner.
glad you think thats notable
@@gowdsake7103 Sanderson is probably best known for his role as Larry on _Newhart,_ but he also had a guest spot on _Babylon 5._

@@hollyperrin7353 Ok. I guess my phone auto corrected.
Same guy who plays the killer postal worker in the episode “Blood” of the X-Files. One of those very every-man kind of actors. That hair though...
Yes, that was a good episode. Thanks for reminding me. I will search for it online again. He has a strong presence and sweet dialect.
BEST TV shows ever can't touch it 😂
❤❤❤❤❤ True spiritual love . I guess 2024 That was a bit too lonely. His friend was smart.
His coworker is a jerk but also represents 90% of the people I work with.
this is really true. So is the world of work...
No, I disagree, I think the coworker has the opposite problem as Norman. Norman is lonely but his coworker is surrounded by people at home. He even admits this to Norman but he gives Norman great advice about meeting the caller. Also, the coworker needs his salary to take care of his five children plus his wife so he needs to work hard and be excellent at his job so his employer won't replace him. He may live paycheck-to-paycheck. Norman only has to worry about his and his pet's expenses.
I remember him from Blade Runner.
So Wonderful.
Norman played Larry on the Bob Newhart Show. "I`m Larry, this is my brother Daryl and this is my other brother Daryl".
This is both a sad yet happy ending story where Love is stronger then the body itself. The main character had a beautiful heart and sole and didn’t care if the person of romance is a statue.
I'm cautious about Norman and Mary-Ann. Both are in a state of deficiency, both need another, like addicts. Above all, Norman looks for the love on the outside that he does not feel for himself on the inside. Little by little, like an addict, he has to fill his half-empty glass with someone else. This is not true love, but what is called "romantic love." A trading company, "Take away my fear, I'll take away yours." - It's about blowing confetti into your own hair (neither of them can do that), being complete with healthy boundaries, standards.
And not to put your needs above your own values. And then without fail get involved with a woman who is not an addict herself, who is looking for salvation outside. Through a guru, therapist or a new love. - So Norman and this woman both are doomed.
And when there is an exit from the Twilight Zone, both of them get to know someone again because of the resonance, and a new drama begins, where it started so beautifully in the beginning. A new drama with replaced characters.
I'm Larry and this is my brother Darryl and this is my other brother Darryl.
Gary Bruyere I know rite!!!😭😭😭
@@Shanim, I'm their unknown sister Carryl!
@@Shanim, J.R. Sebastion, "Blade Runner" he played his part like a perfect fit glove. He actually made his comic role on "Newhart" disappear to me.
It's J.F., Oops!
The only thing this episode needed was Bob Newhart as the security guard.
Philip GarciaReacts-IN a way this WAS a remake-check out Twilight Zone episode 'Miniature'-different story but similar ending! (old Twilight Zone).
This was on when several other shows much the same were airing. Tales from the Darkside, Friday the 13th, the hitcher.
what a sweet love story.
I quickly noticed he made a slight mistake when he wrote the number down from the TV commercial. I expected the statue to come to life, nope, had me fooled.
"I quickly...", "I expected...", "...had me..." - I see. Ego watched TV
..that was sad...but happy ending 😇👍
Written by JMS, and with "JF Sebastian". Nice. 🙂
Ol' Norman got catfished lol
😂😂😂thought the same thing too!!
@nelsonkiiru7252 Your comment brought me back here. I had to re-watch in order to get my own joke! 😂 Thanks!
You could see how disappointed he was when he went there after dark and she was still a statue. Which begs the question of how she answered the phone.
Nice guy!
If she's spending time talking to u she's wasting ur time 🤣
romantic love, take away my fears and i'll take away yours...
what a great ending. they loved each other so much; he became a statue too. 💞
Feel free to ruin the ending for us.
Classic woman trickery. It started with Eve eating the one thing she wasn’t allowed to, condemning herself to death, and then knowingly getting her guy to go along with her nonsense. Adam should have kicked her to the curb.
Hello, I'm Larry. This is my brother Darryl, and this is my other brother Darryl.
He wrote down the wrong number
He’ll always be Larry to me!
She should have talked to the other brother Darryl.
F.D. English 🤣🤣🤣
OMG! It’s “Newhart” Larry!
Larry
@@hollyperrin7353 oops, my bad. Yes, Larry.
On one hand, this is a tale of romance,,with one lonely soul finding another and making sure they find eternal love.
On the other, she's a demon sent to end the life of a lonely simpleton, and make sure his hair doesn't infect the world any longer.
No, there is no savior or destroyer outside (in this case, something demonic). There is no eternal love to be seen there either. Both are needy, in a state of scarcity, and both hope that the other will be the salvation of their own situation. If both of them had a fulfilled life, with a "full glass", able to blow confetti into their own hair, then the new love would be like the cherry on the cake. As it is, both of them are like drug addicts. Caught in a romantic love, a LTD. Take my fears, I'll take yours. The opposite of True Love, which is rare among humans. How it is: At the beginning two people meet, they are like rough surfaces rubbing against each other. Little by little, the surfaces become smoother and smoother due to friction. And at some point the surfaces are so smooth that you see yourself reflected in the other. These are no longer just the good things you like about yourself. And then most people run away. Because the other person reflects the injuries that you have hidden. Childhood injuries and learned beliefs "There's something wrong with me", "I have to fight for love", "I have to use masks and tricks to get a little love from my parents", "I have to act like this and that".
As long as I blame someone on the outside for how I feel about myself, who I am and what kind of life I lead, my situation is hopeless. The encounter with Mary-Ann is a gift in poor packaging - because sooner or later Norman will be thrown back on himself and will be forced to face his inadequacies inside and grow up. (She too, by the way) ...

@@Shanim Interesting points, but I do think the saviour or destroyer is both inside and outside of us.
It's both us, and whatever spans the eternal vastness of the universe, to be understood outside the limitations of the human mind - which make take thousands of lifetimes, or more.
That leads into eternal love.
Maybe some of us have had a spouse in a previous life, and we're destined to meet again.
It would explain the love at first sight phenomena.
With the two characters here, maybe, just maybe, their mutual neediness can work, so that two half empty glasses make one full one.
Well, it would if she wasn't a sculpture.
Quite painful sex I imagine.
The rough and smooth surfaces idea is also interesting.
Sometimes one surface is much rougher, so it can't be changed by it's much smoother counterpart.
That makes me remember that no two human beings are the same, and there will never be two exact same couplings.
The possibilities are unlimited, and outcomes unknowable.
If somebody is say, over 30, and still using childhood trauma as an excuse for behaviour harmful to themselves or others, they're to be avoided, which can be easier said than done.
They have to own their choices, or the choices will own them.
But thanks for the upload.
I was watching 'Her Pilgrim Soul' on another channel before this, then your video was in suggested uploads.
The two are both similar and dissimilar at the same time.
The universal, the metaphysical theme of rebirth, then the theme of dual souls - love, the counterpart of 'fear', is not external, certainly not to be found. It is already all within oneself. In order to achieve mature adult love, it is necessary to look within. You cannot hope outside to find someone who loves you more than you love yourself. That is why, using the glass example, in a state of deficiency, it is not possible to fill up with something from someone else. Adults, in the drama triangle "victim-perpetrator-rescuer" with the ego on the outside, constantly participate in war and drama (the ego feeds on it). I am a victim of the bad neighbor, the wrong parents, the mean narcissistic ex-partner, the government,... Constantly looking for the good and the bad outside, with accusations, belittling, comparing, pointing fingers, clenching fists, signing lists, proselytizing, ... And where are the rescuers? A god, guru, psychiatrist, a new love. Who will save me?
Religion and esotericism have a lot in common. You need a God to save you. You alone are too weak. It's completely different with the spiritual: you don't need God, the divine is in you, love. You don't need a group, you don't need books, or you don't need to memorize things. You don't even need an intellect. Because you know there is something bigger than yourself. That you are open-hearted, know your healthy limits, and live your talents. Keep an eye on maintaining health.
There is no excuse for childhood trauma either. Most people are children in adult bodies. That's why the annoying world is the way it is. Most people cannot give their children unconditional love because they are hurting children themselves. The task of a dual soul is not to make you and you complete, but rather to show you these injuries. Nobody can do that better than your dual soul. Then she turns away from you. Just because she loves you. So that you can go within yourself and away from fear-avoidance life to an adult. If you do find each other at some point, then two mature, 'complete' people will come together. But each of you could also have a fulfilled, rich life on your own. If at some point you actually come together with your dual soul in a real-physical way, that would be the crowning achievement of a relationship.
The ego with an early childhood survival strategy in order not to break due to the unconditional love of the early gods, the parents. One child becomes very quiet, the other very loud. One aggressive, the other passive, one narcissistic, the other empathetic. When two adults, a narcissist and an empath (a good fit), find each other, the one (the former) is always considered evil. But both bear the same basic suffering. This person was the right person at the time to painfully show you something. Here too: A gift in lousy packaging. And when the relationship falls apart, you worry about the other person. You buy books about narcissism, borderline or bipolar disorder, go to libraries, try to understand.
You can save all that: Because it's never about the other person. It is important, and here we are back at the beginning, to look 180° inwards.
I feel like that guy sometimes
... awww....if ur a decent guy, then u and a decent woman will find ur way into each others lives... believe in urself and that u r worthy of a good partner.....and it will SURELY happen!!!....😇👍
I am that guy. I gave up all hope years ago. I don't even bother to even try to find someone since my morale is beyond dead.

OH (la cinquième dimension ) in french I use to watch when I was kid in late seventies early eighties
I am exactly like Norman
me too
It's Larry from NEWHART , 🆒
Yeah, great t.v. show
Excuse me, I'm going to have to ask you not to molest the statue!
Not the statue !
Hi, I'm Larry, this is my brother Darrel and this is my other brother Daryl.
Hi, I'm Larry. This is my brother Daryl, this is my other brother Daryl.
What about Norman's parakeet? I have a parakeet, and I think it's sad enough that Norman kept the bird in a cage. (At this moment, my bird is sitting on the fan behind me, trying to mimic the speech patterns he hears on RUclips.) I hate to think that Norman's poor bird will die of thirst before any of the neighbors realize that Norman is missing.
I think, both left this world in a sad way like she did first ...
It was haunting and meaningful. I'll always remember it.
Jerry Mills best comment ever lol. This is the Twilight zone.....Are you in the Matrix? The bird you notice bahahaha. I'm rolling down the river here. 1 Start from the beginning. 2 don't notice bird. 3 notice the kiss. Be careful now. You walk amongst us lol. Rod Sterling, you may not understand, or are old enough??? Lol thank you!!
Debbe Long, You seem unaware of a literary concept called crystalization. Crystalization is the "if only..." element than beshadows an otherwise victorious outcome. In the novel "Ivanhoe," the protagonist was victorious in the major struggle, but the reader is left with the thought that Ivanhoe was unable to marry the woman he loved because she was Jewish. In the movie "Absence of Malice," Paul Newman's character was victorious over the unscrupulous news reporter, editor, and police investigator, but the viewer is left with sadness over a woman committing suicide because of a leaked news article about her. In the "Twilight Zone" episode, two lonely people were brought together, but a pet was abandoned and probably died as a result.
There's no virtue or reward in shallowness. The more depth of thought you bring to a story, the more you can get out of it.
No, I think either someone at work will notice his absence from work without an explanation. They would consider the possibility that he needs medical attention and they would notify the landlord or family member. At this point they would place the bird with someone who would take care of it until it was determined that Norman wasn't coming home. Norman didn't seem like he missed much work. Someone would realize that something is wrong.
It's unfortunate that he survived off of my name.
OK I'll ask it ... will the security guard and staff not go "wtf" when there's all of a sudden 2 statues instead of 1
I guess they informed the X-Files ... the 2 statues Mulder & Scully
Not in the twilight zone
In the twilight zone it was always two statues Norman has always been a statue just a creative one
above their pay grade. lol
Considering the security guard thinks finding an open door after hours is no big deal...
I was bored throughout but the ending totally made up for it. Wasn’t expecting that
Then watching this episode was really worth it ...
TY for the heads up
a solitary man..with a pet.... bird? " A Most Peculiar Man" by S & G defines this short.
A canary bird would have "done" it too ...
Norman is Larry from Newhart.
Pygmalion.

Except he didn't sculpt her
Who rlse thoght was hard to keep watching.. knowing those souls who did wrong or did themselves wrong are in a very dark place.. lost.. until it was time for all to rise? 😞 Human life is so fragile.. we’re nothing but masses of sentiments battling through life holding on with faith in our hearts praying things will be bright on the other page of this life. Take care of yourselves, people.. because the life beyond this one we’d known since time began is all about you.. your own self. Decorate it with good deeds.. and live it peacefully by staying close with our Creator.. Allah .. Allah alone.. next to no other.
We should not live in fear. God is real, Love is real. The rest is a dream.
Norman was hearing this whole thing in his mind through psychic ability.He thought this woman was alive but,she was dead and he wanted to be with her in death.
That's soooo creepy the way you worded it, yet very precise🤔
So who unlocked the door?
No, the story was intended to be exactly as you saw. He didn't see her as alive, and he didn't have psychic ability - that's what you choose to believe as it fits your desired narrative.
@@Simplythetruthfulone Not really.
That, or the lady at the gallery told him some wild tale when she got a look at who she’d been spending hours on the phone with.
Goof at 2:46 in. Phone number on magazine shows a phone number ending in 4212, as the narrator verbalizes 4221🤣
Bluze Vegas - Someone who watches the film carefully, that's almost a case for the X-Files !
But wouldn't that be the whole reason for him reaching her being that he dials the wrong number?
