Last night, AMAZING STORIES and ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS were also 
in stereo.  I believe THE TWILIGHT ZONE was, too, but I'm not sure.
Incidentally, I think all three of these shows were a welcome addition
to network tv, and I will watch them every week.  The first episode of
THE TWILIGHT ZONE was really very good, with excellent acting by 
David Addison of MOONLIGHTING in the first segment and a kooky performance
by Melinda Dillon in the second, good direction by Wes Craven in both
segments.  I liked AMAZING STORIES' first episode, but I thought it stuck
too close to the Spielberg formula (about five minutes of the 24 minute
episode were spent on another drawn-out goodbye scene).  Roberts Blossom
and Lukas Haas were great.  I look forward to many outstanding things
from this show--later episodes will be directed by Clint Eastwood, 
Martin Scorsese, and Brian DePalma.  Looks like competition from cable
is finally beginning to make the networks (with the obvious exception
of ABC) improve their product.
