No need to say a lot about the film since it's a classic... perfect cast chemistry, excellent special effects, a very catchy and recognizable theme by Richard Band and a perfect mix of horror and comedy.

Highly recommanded and if you have never seen it what are you waiting for?

THE AMERICAN EXPERIENCE: Edison's Miracle of Light, a review by Antares

THE AMERICAN EXPERIENCE: Edison's Miracle of Light (1995) 65/100 - Kind of a threadbare offering from PBS, with not much light being shed on the subject (pun intended). In the early moments, it focuses on what made Edison such an amazing character, with his bold predictions of his impending successes. But after the light bulb is invented and the subsequent power stations are built, the story becomes one of stubbornness and greed, which never paints a positive picture of anyone. I wish it had focused some of its time on his invention of the movie camera, an invention made possible by the invention of the light bulb.

Teal = Masterpiece
Dark Green = Classic or someday will be
Lime Green = A good, entertaining film
Orange = Average
Red = Cinemuck
Brown = The color of crap, which this film is

This series is my favorite TV series from the mid-90s. I watched it a lot at the time. I had a lot of episodes taped and used to watch them again and again.
The pilot is good. Though this series hasn't aged that well.
