@fromthesidelines Interesting comment. Thanks. You know I told myself I wonder if Jack Webb wrote this episode and was disappointed when I saw "John Robinson"! I was going to comment negatively on the show, in a qualified way. It was too histrionic throughout, atypical for this series, with a remarkable slow track-in as the sister speaks followed by a quicker track-out as the cops leave. The acting throughtout was atypically histrionic. But Webb was a genius and now you tell me he wrote too!
"John Robinson" was Jack Webb; he wrote many of the radio and TV episodes during the '50s (the second most prolific writer on the series at the time, after James Moser).
