The lonely and snobbish forty-eight year-old food critic Bartlett Finchley has paranoia with his appliances and machines. He has problems with his television, radio, clock, electric razors, typewriter and car. When he receives the message "Get out of the house" from his appliances, he decides to stay home with tragic consequences.
"A Thing About Machines" is a pointless and silly episode of "The Twilight Zone". It is not clear whether Finchley was delusional in his paranoia or whether he was attacked indeed by his car and appliances. My vote is six.
