Gpmurillo asked:
"I remember watching reruns of an anthology show when I was younger (maybe 15 years ago). There was a really compelling episode that involved a white girl who had an African-American doll. The girl's mother would always hear two sets of voices coming from the back yard after she saw her daughter leave the house with her doll. When the daughter said that she was only playing with her doll, the mother became frustrated and insisted that she was lying. The episode ended with the mother hearing two sets of voices and going out back to see who the second person was. When she got out into the yard, ready to confront her daughter and her play-friend, she was shocked to find a young African-American girl holding a white doll, with her daughter now nowhere to be found. The episode closed with the African-American girl running off into the field as the mother yelled for her to come back. It was a great story in the tradition of The Twilight Zone. I know that it wasn't a Twilight Zone episode, and I can't figure out which series it was from. Can you help?"

Kate asked:
"This was a very short-lived series from the early '90s (probably '92-'94) and took place in a castle, probably in England. The main characters were two adolescent knights and there was also a girl who I think had red hair. At the opening of the show the knights were dueling all around the castle and making a big mess, and the girl was writing a letter. In one episode the girl locked some other kid naked in a closet, then went through some sort of emotional crisis about it. I feel like the name of the place they lived was the title of the show, and I doubt it lasted more than a season. Please help!"

At the end of the episode, he walks outside, and you hear a gunshot. This may have been based on an older show, but I can't be sure. I was a little kid when I watched it.

Gpmurillo asked:
"I remember watching reruns of an anthology show when I was younger (maybe 15 years ago). There was a really compelling episode that involved a white girl who had an African-American doll. The girl's mother would always hear two sets of voices coming from the back yard after she saw her daughter leave the house with her doll. When the daughter said that she was only playing with her doll, the mother became frustrated and insisted that she was lying. The episode ended with the mother hearing two sets of voices and going out back to see who the second person was. When she got out into the yard, ready to confront her daughter and her play-friend, she was shocked to find a young African-American girl holding a white doll, with her daughter now nowhere to be found. The episode closed with the African-American girl running off into the field as the mother yelled for her to come back. It was a great story in the tradition of The Twilight Zone. I know that it wasn't a Twilight Zone episode, and I can't figure out which series it was from. Can you help?"

In one episode the girl locked some other kid naked in a closet, then went through some sort of emotional crisis about it. I feel like the name of the place they lived was the title of the show, and I doubt it lasted more than a season. Please help!"
