"We're actually watching TV from outer space!"

You wouldn't think these Amazing Stories could get any goofier after 'The Main Attraction' and 'Mummy Daddy', but here comes episode seven of the series and things go even more downhill. I guess the concept was alright, but the execution was laughably bad. Consider that not a single person who came across the visiting aliens gave even a hint of acknowledgment or discomfort at the sight of three dwarves dressed in Halloween costumes. Maybe that's it, there had to be some reason. Television network NBC managed to give themselves a plug in the story, with one of the aliens playing the three note station identifier a couple of times, and I have to at least give some credit to Uncle Miltie for lending celebrity status to the festivities. Believe it or not, I recall watching this episode back in the day when it originally aired. The passage of time has done nothing for it.
