Amazing Stories - Spielberg series eyed for DVD release
Posted by David Lambert

Some of our readers have already seen the Miami Vice, Bionic Woman, and Dream On news stories that were posted at TVShowsOnDVD in the last couple of days. For those of you who haven't seen those, we need to explain where the story that follows comes from.
Universal has sent out a very nicely crafted book, approximately 35-40 glossy pages long and in full color. The outer cover and first couple of pages is stark black, with silver lettering, that says "Great Television on DVD is Universal. Universal Studios Home Video is Proud To Present Some of the Most Dynamic and Influential Television Shows of the Past 40 Years. The ShowsThat Defined Generations, Influenced Popular Culture and Set the Standard for Television's Most Groundbreaking Programming are Coming to DVD."
The way that is worded, it leaves little doubt in our minds that every television show covered inside is planned for a DVD release in the not-too-distant future. And there are a large number of shows in there. Some are featured prominently, with entire pages to themselves. One such property that is mentioned on a full page is this long-awaited Emmy-winning Steven Spielberg show:

Amazing Stories had a great run, albeit short: it ran for just a couple of seasons. But amazing (forgive the pun) guest stars and cameo appearances included the likes of Drew Barrymore, Amy Irving, Bronson Pinchot, Kevin Costner, Kiefer Sutherland, Gregory Hines, Milton Berle, Sid Caesar, Dom DeLuise, Loni Anderson, Charles Durning, Gordon Jump, Charles Nelson Reilly, Richard Simmons, Dirk Benedict, Gary Coleman, Ed McMahon, Harvey Keitel, Sondra Locke, Beau Bridges, Seth Green, Charlie Sheen, James Cromwell, Joe Pantoliano, Forest Whitaker, Mark Hamill, and...whew! That's where we stop! Many, many more than that! And don't forget the cool-at-the-time CGI sequence at the opening, something that was new to television in that era. Throw in John Williams' great theme song, and you've got something worth owning. Fans of Family Dog will also want to eye this possible release, as that series' "pilot" was part of the second season.
So when do we get to own it? What's the release date? What extras are on there? Is this going to be a best-of, or in season sets? Well, none of that info is in the brochure! We've posted a scan of the one and only page that mentioned this show, and all the other shows in the booklet are similar. Nothing in this document has info about what a DVD would be like for any of the shows mentioned, or how soon we would see them. In the end, it's just a collection of pretty pictures about a lot of Universal's properties...the ones they WANT to put on DVD. Bear in mind that not all known upcoming DVD releases from the studio are included in the booklet. Also, just because it's in the booklet now, doesn't mean that plans can't change. These are long-range plans, and nothing's set in stone. They could be as far away as a year...or more!
But it's good to know that Amazing Stories is "on the radar", and we here will keep our ears open for more news. As soon as updates are available, we'll be sure to bring them to you lickity-split!
