    What a great show!

    As a collector, I am often reminded of the episode where the troll (or whatever it was) tells the kid to save all his toys and comics and "treasures".

    But, I think my actual favorite is the one with the artist stuck in the bomber with the broken landing gear.

        Mark Hamill as the old comic collector. I think it was Amazing Stories.

          The Mark Hamill/ Troll episode of Amazing Stories is "Gather Ye Acorns."

          The troll was played by David Rappaport (Randall of Time Bandits).

          It's my favorite as well.
          If I had only spent a tenth of the time studying Physics that I spent learning Star Wars and Baseball trivia, I would have won the Nobel Prize.

            Both of these would be my favorites....

                  I don't remember the names, but one had to do with the Alamo and then there was the one where the kid got magnetized by a meteor. Those were my favorites.

                        Wasn't that one where the nerdy girl was also magnatized and they got stuck together at the end?

                        The Alamo one was good too. There was also one with Adam Ant as a time traveling family on the run

                          Yeah, that's the one.

                          Most of the shows were pretty good.

                            I remember having recorded that when it originally aired. I played it for a few people and next thing I know, other people were asking to borrow it (adults even!!!). It had a good "buzz" around it, even in the days before the Internet.

                            Family Dog was written by Brad Bird ("Iron Giant", "Incredibles", "Ratatouille"), BTW.

                            My favorite, at the time, was "The Mission". Several of the cast members were unknowns at the time and went on to be performers of note....Kevin Costner, Kiefer Sutherland, Casey Siemaszko, and Anthony LaPaglia.
