08/03/2020 All the characters are played as very broad, cardboard creatures, most even adopting wacky accents or styles of speech. It is a ham-handed slap at television and how it could control our lives. Conried, like always, chewed up the scenery. But, as an actor he was not built to carry a whole show by himself. Lastly, the music and sound effects were annoyingly obtrusive. They could have toned that way, way down. IF they had a serious message to relay, the quashed it with the children's television sound effects and practical effects. I doubt this is worth a re-viewing if you already saw it before.

See more 06/01/2013 Not very funny comedy about Hans Conried, best know as the voice of Captain Hook, and his misadventures involving a television that becomes possessed by a spirit. The TV becomes mobile and sentient and then begins taking over his life. This probably could have been a funny half-hour episode of "The Twilight Zome" but even at 72 minutes it felt overlong and not all that funny or clever. Conried is probably the only reason to watch this film. See more 12/04/2012 Completely entertaining 1950s piece on the horrors of television (a new and growing medium of which the film industry was terrified). It's all very silly but a great time capsule and a look into recent history. Best to catch it on TCM some late night preferably after a few drinks and/or smokes. See more 12/03/2012 The Twonky is a very strange and humorous little film. See more 11/30/2012 a very foolish and moronic pic-don't bother See more Read all reviews
