Amazing Stories

Created by Speilberg

Amazing Stories is a television anthology series created by Steven Spielberg. It ran on NBC from 1985 to 1987. Each episode featured an independent story, similar to programs as The Twilight Zone. Unlike that program, however, it did not have a regular host. Although nominated for 12 Emmy Awards (resulting in five wins), it was not a hit and the network did not renew it after the two-year contract expired.


One of the first-season installments, "The Amazing Falsworth", brought writer Mick Garris an Edgar Award for Best Episode in a TV Series. The show was named after Amazing Stories, a groundbreaking science fiction magazine that Spielberg read as a child.

    I thought it was a great show at the time & although some of the episodes are probably somewhat dated now, it's still better than alot of the current crop of programming shown on TV at the moment. Wonder if there are any plans to release the Second Season on DVD at some point?
