Gee, someone finally said what I've wanted to say all along, but he didn't go far enough in comparing "Amazing Stories" to other shows!!!What do you people want??? Another "Dallas" or "Dynasty"??? Jees, we have enough psuedo-sex shows that it's refreshing to see something like "Amazing Stories", even if it's a little predictable. I hate to admit it, but I claim temporary insanity due to the flu, I watched the season premiere of "Dallas". What a crock of garbage!!! Barbara Bel Geddes is back as "Miss Ellie"??? BFD!!! What about Donna Reed and her lawsuit against the producers??? I sure hope she wins!!! She deserves to!!! And two hours???? Everything they did in two hours could have been done in less than a half hour, without losing any important points. And bad acting, and a bad script!!! In talking with various friends, coworkers, aquaintances, etc., it seems that the people who like "Amazing Stories" are young couples with young children, and the people who don't like it are for the most part single persons. This is not an absolute, but just an observation I've made. The reason I think the young couples like it is because they can let their kids watch it without too much guilt(though episodes like the BMOC are probably too much for little kids to understand).
