6/10
It's as if They Couldn't Think of Anything
18 December 2008
This is a very forgettable episode starring John McGiver. He runs a model ship making business. He is a Navy veteran and has carried his experiences to his business. He alienates his workers and his wife with his loud, loud being. He rings bells and plays his stereo loudly (battle sounds and planes taking off). People despise him. He is cruel and insensitive. One day, everything seems to get a hundred times louder than normal. A faucet drip sounds like Niagara Falls. Squeaky shoes are incredibly abrasive. He sees doctors and things he has a solution. But sometimes we don't really want what we wish for. It's just a pretty poorly done episode. It's as if Serling was saying, "Let's see. What if a loud man had to deal with real loudness? What then?
