I felt the sympathetic characters (well played by Tony Roberts and Marian Seldes) deserved a better fate after trying to help this 12-year-old boy. (Precisely the same age as my daughter right now

...hmmmm.)

A few thoughts:

- This is one I remember from my original RMT days.

- I\'ve said before and will say again how much I loved that long-lasting (two decades, at least) CBS stock mystery music. (As I was getting ready to retire for the night after a busy July 4th two days ago, my daughter alerted me to the fact that there was a \"Twilight Zone\" marathon on so my night didn\'t end until 2:00 pm. The show that was on was \"The old man in the cave\" starring the late James Coburn. I thought I was [i:c34e49a7de]watching[/i:c34e49a7de] a CBS RMT with all the familiar music that was playing, except I remember the TWZ was first to use this.)

The reason I bring up the music is that the last use of these same music beds on video I remember are the CBS late movies that used to be shown on weeknights. I remember watching them studying with friends from college. One I vividly remember featured William Shatner, and was entitled \"Kingdom of the spiders\". It was actually a fascinating movie, especially when you read about how they made the thing with loads of live tarantulas, but I digress.

There was a bunch of familiar TWZ/RMT music in that one, but in a pivotal scene with Shatner being attacked by (or rather, falling into a basement full of) tarantulas, there was a trumpet-and-drums \"Curtains! This is it!\" music bed I\'d never heard used before on the RMT.

That was, until I re-listened to \"You\'re going to like Rodney\". It (or rather, a part of it) is playing when Rodney does what he finally does to the kindly neighbor, who also seemed to deserve a better end.

- What was most interesting about this episode was what you didn\'t learn.

What was in Rodney\'s suitcase that he wouldn\'t let anyone touch?

Did he really have a butterfly collection? (Doubt it, but...)

What was up with that brother character played by Himan Brown?

Who was Rodney, really? (I guess it\'s pretty evident what he was, though I don\'t think he was his boss, \"old Reeky\"...to use a Scottish phrase from that RMT episode \"Speak of the devil\".)

- Like I\'d said in my review of this program many weeks back, I think what was PLAINLY evident was that Rodney wasn\'t happy. Frankly, I strongly doubt one will ever find a contented, joyous demon.

Very good episode.<br>
