Amazing Stories (1985)

Fine Tuning (1x7)

Air date: Nov 10, 1985

Teenager (Andy) is working on a science project to intercept distant television signals but inadvertently tunes into a series of alien broadcasts...aliens who have mimicked old b&w TV shows such as "I Love Lucy." Andy and his friends tune in on a newscast saying three alien explorers are travelling to Earth on an expedition to meet their inspiration. Andy and his friends find the aliens - who easily stand out - and decide to take them on a tour of Hollywood, but the aliens are disappointed to learn that they can't bring anyone (such as Milton Berle) back with them. Finally, Andy digs up some aging vaudeville entertainers from a retirement home who are glad to go back with the aliens and entertain them.
