I'm assuming that someone had one wish and he wished to be a teenager again? And, I'm assuming that he got his wish and ended up regretting it.
I rarely watched the Twilight Zone as a child, or any time in my life. I don't know why. Probably because it was a little too noir--dark, visually and in plot, etc.--for me. I didn't like the noir stuff. Still don't.
However, one that I do remember watching was one similar to the one that you described. Best that I remember, there was a comedian, who was an utter failure--he couldn't get people to laugh at any joke that he made while he was on stage. He made a wish---somehow, to someone--that he would be funny. Well, he became funny--so much so, in fact, that people laughed at everything that he said, even off the stage, and even when he was trying to talk seriously to people. He, too, regretted his wish.
I wouldn't be surprised if there was more than two shows which used a similar plot to those, especially on those weeks when the writers were struggling to come up with an idea for the next show.
