#28c: THE WORLD NEXT DOOR (episode #4 of 2nd season)
written by Lan O'Kun
Directed by Paul Lynch
A cute variation on the parallel worlds concept: Barney (George Wendt of Cheers fame) is an average chunky schlub who likes to create quirky little inventions which no one, including his wife, appreciates. He works what he feels is a boring job, riding to work on a train with his buddy (Jeffrey Tambor). He's also having odd dreams, in which he has a big mustache and is a successful inventor. One day, his shrew of a wife demands he clean up the basement and he finds a hidden door. This leads into a corridor and then into an alternate world. He magically takes on the mustached appearance of his doppelganger and gets acquainted with his existence in this other world - a parallel Earth - where he is admired and important.
