Inspired by the 1950s science-fiction anthologies he enjoyed as a wide-eyed youngster, Steven Spielberg served as creator, producer, and (twice) director for this enthralling 1985-87 fantasy series. Filled with adventure, terror, wonder, and a luminous roster of Hollywood's finest talents both in front of and behind the camera, these "Amazing Stories" have amassed an enthusiastic following.24 episodes on 8 discs. 18 3/4 hrs. Standard; Soundtrack: English. Region Free

These are the originals from the 80’s!
I recently watched the new Amazing Stories on Apple TV and it was terrible. It got me thinking, is the original series still available and was it still as good as I remember it being? The answer is yes and yes! Stephen Spielburg was a creative powerhouse in the 80s with hit after hit movie. Every decent actor wanted to get in on it. So this is a great collection of very creative stories with big name stars. And family friendly so get this set, sit down with the kids and show them how good TV was when we were kids! As timeless as Raiders of the Lost Ark still is today.

Seem to have poor burning
Some episodes just don't play at all or freeze at a random interval in the episode and don't continue playback once frozen.

Reliving my youth
Got this for my wife after hearing her mention "the plane one" several times. We both remember watching these as kids and have, so far, enjoyed all of disc one. These are NOT high def / remaster videos. When you put them on a widescreen it's not crisp like a modern show, but let's face it... nobody is buying such an obscure title because they remember how crisp the graphics were. They're buying it because they are great stories (some of Spielberg's finest work) that we remember watching when you actually had to be in front of the tube at a given day and time and you looked forward to the next day/time with great anticipation.

One of NBC's best mystery shows, in my opinion
I ordered "Amazing Stories" because I watched the program when it was new on NBC. I like mystery shows, so when Amazing Stories came out on NBC when it did I watched every episode with great interest. I give NBC a big thumbs up for having run this program, and am hoping one of these days a similar type of program appears on the Peacock Network, since NBC has always been one of my favorite TV networks.
