Okay, all you guys who've been bitching and moaning about "Amazing
Stories," where are your comments about last night's episode?  I'm
glad I videotaped it, because I played parts of it over and over,
and still laughed out loud.  I know it may not be all that original
of an idea, and some of the jokes may have been made before, but it
was a great satire of the monster movies, and it was funny!
Personally, I liked the first episode with opa? oompa?, too.  So 
there.  And I liked the one about the BMOC and the meteor.  The
problem with some of you is you expect too much.  Would you rather
watch "Amazing Stories" or something like "Hollywood Beat," "The
Insiders," "Stir Crazy," or "Mr. Belvedere?"  Or maybe we could
bring back "The Dukes of Hazzard?"  (I suppose this should be on
net.flame, but after all, I am talking about TV and the people
who watch it.  I also liked the "Alfred Hitchcock" episode last
night.  I'm sure all of you had the ending figured out way before
I did, (I knew the old guy would die and not be able to dig her
up; I just thought he'd have a heart attack while digging or on
the way out of the prison.)  I thought their ending was better 
than mine.  As for being opposite "Murder, She Wrote," I like the
show, I like Angela Lansbury, but the show is OK!  I love solving
the crime along with Jessica, but it's just not the same as it was
in 1975-76 solving the crime with Ellery Queen.  R.I.P. Ellery.'
