Here's what's amazing: the second season still isn't out on DVD.

"Amazing Stories," which actually ran from 1985 to 1987, had Hollywood superhero Steven Spielberg as its producer, co-writer and, occasionally, director. It also featured a, well, amazing cast of A-list stars from film and television.

That all made it quite surprising that Universal waited until 2006 to release its first season on DVD. Even more surprising is that it still hasn't released the second.

The as-yet-unreleased season featured such stars as Patrick Swayze, Jon Cryer and, in one episode, real-life couple Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman.

That episode was directed by DeVito as well, and he's just one of the notable helmers to step behind the camera in the second season. Ken Kwapis (now of "The Office" fame), Joe Dante (fresh off the huge success of his breakout 1984 film "Gremlins"), and frequent Spielberg collaborator Robert Zemeckis were others.

There was even a special animated episode in Season 2 written and directed by a very young Brad Bird, now an Oscar-winning Pixar filmmaker.

Syfy network was airing reruns for a while, but stopped in 2006, right around the time the first-season DVDs were released, in fact. However, no other network has aired the series since.
