@SuperMouse, I thought of that too. I saw it when it was originally broadcast (we watched TZ faithfully every week at my house), and I still remember how shocked we were at the ending. (@Eambos, I think you might be thinking of the same episode.) It really left a major impression on my young mind, perhaps exactly as Rod Serling intended.
“Harrison Bergeron” is a great story and one that almost has the quality of a myth. I have come back to it again and again over the years as so many things going on around me seemed to be bringing us closer and closer to this no-longer-such-an-extreme fantasy.
