The Twilight Zone S4E15 'The Incredible World of Horace Ford' - DVR
A toy designer (Pat Hingle) visits his old neighborhood and finds it
exactly as it was in his childhood.  (Comcast)
Toymaker Horace Ford is increasingly preoccupied with memories of his
childhood, endangering his job and marriage - but a visit to his old
neighborhood brings a haunting encounter, suggesting the time was not as
idyllic as he remembers.  (IMDb)

Trivia: This was not an original screenplay for The Twilight Zone
(1959). It's a remake of The Incredible World of Horace Ford (1955),
which was a live TV version starring Art Carney and Jason Robards.
The blueprints of Harold's new robot toy are copies of the actual
blueprints Bob Kinoshita made for the design of Robbie the Robot in
Forbidden Planet.

Found it. It was an episode of an earlier anthology series Studio One.
This began on CBS Radio in 1947, then made an early leap to CBS
television in 1948, running till 1958.
