I'm currently watching this all the way through and have made it to the second season; The second season is shaping up to be a lot better than the first since most of the first season episodes were not that great and felt like kind of a low rent version of Amazing Stories.

Basically what they should do with series like this is compile a sort of 'best of' on dvd.

I started both this and Ray Bradbury Theater on Youtube from the beginning, but at a certain point just gave up. You have to sit through too many bad ones to get to the good ones. It's logical of course, many different writers and directors, not all just as talented, and not every story translates well to the visual medium or can be done justice on the television budget in those days. Bradbury Theater was better, I might get back to that. Poor image and sound quality on Youtube don't help either of course.

How are you watching them? They are available on dvd here, but the image seems to be very poor:

On dvd, I've owned the first three seasons since high-school (9 years ago) and then I finally bought the fourth season a few days ago. And yes, the picture quality is very poor.
