A VERY uneven series. There were a few gems like the pilot, "Ghost Train" but many of the entries seemed like anecdotes, rather than stories with a beginning, middle and end. I had the impression Spielberg lost interest in this series very quickly, or that he was simply ill-suited to half-hour storytelling.

There were some interesting "short" stories throughout this series, but my favorites were Lukas Haas (E01) in Ghost Train and Seth Green and Joshua Rudoy (E13) in The Sitter.
