Can anyone help I'm looking for an episode title. In the episode they are looking for lets say lost car keys on the dresser they look the 1st time they are not there, they look again and this time the keys are there but only because (the re-builders) finished re-building them. Any help sure would appreciate.

I was delighted to finally see the release of Amazing Stories the first season on DVD. I had forgotten just what a stellar cast of actors and directors worked on this series. For the longest time the only way you got to see this remarkable series was with the VHS 2 or 3 episode collections or when Sci-Fi would re-run the episodes. However, when Sci-Fi would host the re-runs, they generally stuck to the same episodes. There were a few outstanding episodes in Season One like The Mission that they didn't repeat. Does anyone know exactly how long this series ran? It says 1985 to 1987 at the top here at IMDb but I thought it ran longer than two years. If you loved the Twilight Zone, Night Gallery and Outer Limits, you will love this series and you will not be disappointed with your purchase.

...this was and still remains one of the best television shows ever. I keep hearing all these people talk about the same 3 or 4 'stories' and dismissing the others as garbage. Not true! Does anyone remember the episode (and forgive me if I can't remember titles or actors) where the man has a dream about the plane crashing and then wakes up and goes to the airport (I'll leave it at that)? Or how about the one where the aliens come down and watch TV? Or how about the episode where the meteor hits and the popular guy becomes magnetic? PEOPLE PEOPLE PEOPLE!!! This is a great TV series, ranked up there with MST3K, Iron Chef, The Daily Show, and The Tonight Show w/ JOHNNY CARSON. PaceAnd it's like I always say...having one George Kennedy is better than having no George Kennedy at all.

By the time this series came out in 1985, Spielburg had become a well known and excellent director because of the film "E.T" released a couple of years before this. I was, therefore, expecting the series to be a good collection of "Amazing Stories". However, I was very dissapointed.Most of the stories were just plain boring and as much as I tried to like the series I just couldn't because many were just so dull. The only one I really enjoyed was the one everyone seems to remember called "Go to the head of the Class" which starred Christopher Lloyd.To me an amazing story would be someone's ability to sit through an episode without falling asleep.
