Zero Hour script previously used 11/23/1955 (#26)

"There Will Come Soft Rains": What a nice little house! Everything you need is available at the flick of a switch or a simple request. But then, gosh darn it, a nuclear disaster destroys every living person, but leaves the computer in the house taking care of an empty household. Very sad story by Ray Bradbury.

"Zero Hour": It's a beautiful peaceful day in 1985 (all futuristic stories have to be in exact decade-increments). But children play with a rose bush that tells the children to prepare for an invasion from another planet, which will occur at Zero Hour.

(both from "The Critical X Minus One" by Jim Fanisher)

Credits (Goldin): Agnes Young, Butch Cavell, Denise Alexander, Norman Rose, Peter Lazer, Ray Bradbury (author), Rita Lynn, Roger De Koven, William Griffis, George Lefferts (adaptor), William Welch (producer), Edward King (director), Fred Collins (announcer)
