Season 1 Review: "Ghost Train" was an auspicious start...Spielberg has been working with movies of two or three hours length for a long time, but he can still tell a powerful story in the 25-or-less minutes allowed in a half-hour of commercial television. [30 Sept 1985, p.C-7]

Season 1 Review: Amazing Stories was a long foul ball. We're talking the gestation period of an elephant here, and the birth of a dormouse. [3 Oct 1985, p.C-11]

Season 1 Review: The great thing about anthologies is that this week's letdown may give way to next week's revelation. Spielberg has many stories yet to tell. We sit here hopeful and eager and rooting for Spielberg to make good on his promise. He has, to paraphrase Noel Coward, a talent to amaze; perhaps it will be more merrily exercised in weeks to come. [30 Sept 1985, p.C1]

Season 1 Review: Not so amazing...All that waiting and wondering about the premiere of Steven Spielberg's "Amazing Stories" came to an end Sunday. Now there will be waiting and wondering anew -- to see if it will get better. [2 Oct 1985, p.6-1]
