Before watching this episode, I expected a slightly more sci-fi theme to it after the first one lacked it a little, but I don't think that this one was much different. In fact, the theme was more paranormal than sci-fi. I didn't mind too much though because there are still another 154 episodes to watch.
I didn't really find this episode's plot very exciting and it definitely didn't have much action in it at all. The subject of death is shown in an almost positive light at the end and makes it seem like it isn't a very big deal. This is probably because in this world, there is an afterlife and the main character - 'Lou Bookman' (Ed Wynn) was allowed to take his suitcase with the things he sells to heaven so he can carry on pitching to the angels there.
The best part of this episode was certainly the character 'Mr. Death' (Murray Hamilton), his stern looks and just overall personality was great to watch. The scene in which Lou was trying to sell Death different products was great and I especially liked the close-ups they used. Unfortunately, these were the only good things about this episode. 4/10.
