This is a well-written episode with a tight script that keeps the listener on the hook, wanting to see how it will be resolved. I put this episode in the category with other great CBSRMT "strange small town" stories like "The Summer People" and "Sleepy Village" and "A Holiday Visit." It's sort of a reverse Brigadoon (the story where this small town appears once every 100 years). Here these people are trapped in a town where time does not pass...and they desperately wish that it would. As is often the case in speculative fiction, immortality is not all it is cracked up to be. What is the value of life if we cannot grow and change and evolve?

I agree with Steve that this is one of Bob Juhren's classic "Twilight Zone-ish" stories which is probably why I like it so much.
