That's cool new. I loved Amazing Stories.

I hope they keep a version of the theme song

Nostalgia IS a hell of a drug cuz... I got chills hearing the theme in that trailer.

I've yet to give the Jordan TWIGHLIGHT ZONE a whirl but I miss anthology shows that are well done.

Granted... Black Mirror, Love, Death, Robots... They are still around though A LOT darker than before I suppose.

And yeah... AS was my jam too back in the day. So much talent, creativity and not surprising given it's Spielberg, a lot of heart.

Hopefully this turns out better than the other tv projects that had the Spielberg name attached to it. I was not impressed with Falling Skies and Terra Nova... so just name dropping Spielberg doesn't mean a lot to me

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Eh... Amazing Stories is not in the same category as those two.

Those shows were always middle of the road and ultimately forgettable.

The esteem around AS has only grown as the decades have past.

And the beauty is if you don’t like a story, there’s a different one Next time with a different vision. They were very director/writer driven each episode.

Anybody watch these? Does it measure up to the original series?

Anybody watch these? Does it measure up to the original series?

Yes it does. It's well done.

Watched the first episode with Dylan O'Brien. It was a good episode but a little sad how it turned out. A little like a Twilight Zone or Outer Limits episode.

I was thinking that Marvel could've done a What If live action anthology series like this if they didn't do the animated version. Or if not What If, then just an anthology of a different sort with different characters each week.
