Amazing Stories anthology
I have started to watch this anthology series produced by Steven Spielberg, so his stamp/feel is all over this series for better or worse

Episode 1 - Ghost Train
A young family recently moved take in their grandfather who warns of a train going to hit their new house
Predictable and very Spielberg-ian well he did direct it!
Episode 2 - The Main Attraction
A popular boy at high school is affected in a strange way when a meteor hits his bedroom
Cheesy , fun but very easy to spot the ending a mile off
Episode 3 - Alamo Jobe
A boy fighting alongside Davy Crockett at the Alamo is somehow transported into the present
Hmmm. Flat really, maybe as a Brit I dont understand the significance
Episode 4 - Mummy, Daddy
An actor playing a mummy on a film has to rush to his wife's side as she goes into labour and of course gets mistaken for a real monster
Comical episode which is very cheesy
Episode 5 - The Mission
An aircraft crew take their lucky mascot, a belly gunner on their final mission but face a huge dilemma when they are attacked and forced to return home in the damaged plane
The best episode yet, very good tension throughout but relies on a deus ex machina type ending
Episode 6 - The Amazing Falsworth
A psychic showman accidentally stumbles upon a serial during one of his performances
This was ...OK
Episode 9 - Guilt Trip
The personification of Guilt is forced to take a holiday
Quite cute episode
Episode 10 - Remote Control Man
A picked upon man discovers his tv remote control brings to life TV characters
Ok but a bit too much of a multi-laden cameo episode
Episode 11 - Santa '85
A boy helps the real Father Christmas when he is arrested - Fitting for the season
Episode 12 - Vanessa in the Garden
An artist's wife his killed in an accident and destroys his work out of grief and frustration
Episode 13 - The Sitter
A pair of boys cause havoc with babysitters until they meet their match when a woman uses magic on them - kind of cheesy
Episode 14 - No Day at the Beach
A picked upon soldier becomes a hero much to the surprise of his fellow men
Episode 15 - One For the Road
A bar owner and friends hatch an idea to kill a man by making him drink too much - this was quite humourous
More to come...
