I don't know if I tuned out this episode after watching LITB over the years, but this is new to me. It's good to see some reality in an otherwise sanitized series.
I'm glad I read some of the insightful comments before watching this episode, as I was skeptical of the impact but came away a lot more fond of the show. I always felt it was a bit pollyanna-ish.
All in all I have always loved the show but realized later in life it was unrealistic. This episode is a real as it gets. Kudos to the writers and staff who allowed this episode to move forward in 1960. I'm surprised at the hard hitting topic and loved this episode.
