The Twilight Zone - Season 1 Episode 16
Oorsig: Two twenty-something brothers go to their father's laboratory to steal his fathers' growth serum research and sell for their own profit. They find a web-like material, which tastes great. They find large plants. Some plants have increased in size more than others. For the crime of emotional coldness, Mitchell Chaplin is condemned to social invisibility. For one year he will be branded with an irremovable brand that everyone knows means they must totally ignore him. At first, Chaplin is thrilled at the prospects. A depressed dentist, Myron Mandel, is visited by the Tooth Fairy, who grants him the wish to be incredibly popular and loved. The wish is granted in full force, and soon Mandel can't handle the endless stream of visitors singing his praises.

Yeah, for the longest time I thought I was the only person that actually liked this, but thanks to the internet I now know that I'm not alone. And, like the first series, you get your fill of horror and science fiction ironic twists... more with an eye to horror in the 80s version and not so much science fiction. And one episode that seems like an updated Wicker Man. Anyway, everything has been said already, so the best thing I can do is point out that it had everyone. I mean it had EVERYONE, every actor that wasn't a leading man in the 80s and some actors that were, it had has beens and will bes in it. You're going to sit down and spend and episode screaming "Oh! I know him from!" And in 2020, pure nostalgia.
