[edit] Talky Tina

The actual name of the doll is Talky Tina (this name can be found in a book compiling Jerry Sohl's scripts) so I changed Talking to Talky throughout. James Jonathan

Umm....that doesn't matter, because in the actual episode the doll says, "Talking Tina." The episode is on DVD can it can be plainly heard, regardless of what the original script said. Also, Rod Serling mentions "Talking Tina" and not "Talky Tina." So I changed Talky back to Talking throughout.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.219.130.35 (talk • contribs)

I watched it again tonight. When the doll talks, it's unclear, but when Erich and Serling say it, it's clearly "Talky Tina". I'll try and edit the audio of Serling's closing narration and add it to the page later this evening. Travisl 02:48, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Child's Play

While this episode may be in inspiration for the "Child's Play" movies, it is impossible to say that the movie would not have been made had it not been for this Twilight Zone episode, unless someone has a time machine I don't know about! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.75.180.31 (talk) 19:28, 7 February 2007 (UTC).

Agreed. For an example preceding "Living Doll", see Dead of Night. Also, Devil Doll (film) was released the same year as "Living Doll". Thirdly, see The top 11 scariest puppets and dolls on film for several more examples. Although he wasn't evil, even Pinocchio dates back to 1881. Travisl 17:17, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Tina.ogg

Image:Tina.ogg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
