Dad vs Doll in...

My favorite episode of The Twilight Zone.


The bad Dad's name is Erich Streator. 
He's superbly played by Telly Savalas.
The Doll's name is Talky Tina and I love her very much.
So much I'm applying to be one of her True Friends here.
June Foray voiced Tina and her inspiration, Chatty Cathy.
Tina was actually an altered Brikette doll though.
Here's one with a Talky Tina replica I really want:


If you haven't seen Living Doll,

Happy Father's Doll's Day!
