Engineering Computing Center Lines: 27 Keywords: They finally hit pay dirt! I just finished watching the 4th "Amazing Stories" episode, "Daddy Mummy" (or was is "Mummy Daddy"? anyway...) and I can finally say that they got it right! The story involves a movie mummy whose wife has just given birth at a nearby hospital. He hurriedly leaves the set to be at her side. Along the way to the hospital he has run-ins with a gas station attendant, two rednecks in a pickup truck, an angry lynch mob and a REAL mummy. The 'punch line' of the whole thing is that while daddy is at the hospital, the real mummy makes it to the movie set. The story was original, well developed, swiftly paced with no obvious holes. It presented some genuinely funny scenes ("I am a good mummy"). Much better than the magnetic stud (Am I the only one who laughed at that? Don't answer...oh well) episode. After three false starts, it looks as if "Amazing Stories" has finally taken off. Let's just hope that Captain Spielburg can keep it from crashing. ;-) -- Edward C.
