Dissatisfied with the programs on your TV set? Don't complain, look what came through Miss Twilley's, when her old picture tube blew out and something else began to show.

Jesse F. Bone's 1963 story spins a wry first-contact and social-SF tale from a lonely spinster's malfunctioning television. Light, clever golden-age SF. Read it for a charming story where a broken TV set becomes a window onto something no repairman could ever fix.
