Superstar producer
Steven Spielberg was lured to TV with an iron-clad contract that guaranteed his series a two-season run whether it was successful or not. That series,
Amazing Stories, ran from September 28, 1985, through May 15, 1987. Though the stories in this sci-fi-fantasy anthology ran hot and cold, all had the advantage of solid celebrity casts and an all-star lineup of directors, including
Clint Eastwood, Martin Scorcese,
Danny DeVito and, of course, Spielberg himself. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
