Name: The Word Processor of the Gods
Genre: Comedy, Drama, Fantasy
Released: 1984-11-25
Duration: 20 min
Rating: 7.1
Cast: Bruce Davison, Karen Shallo, Patrick Piccininni

Written by Stephen King.............................................. Guest starring Bruce Davison.

This same plot has been used on almost every anthology show, but this one is very fresh. Richard is an unhappy man married with a brat kid. He gets a typewriter (really more of a cheap 80's computer) and finds that whatever he types comes true. Pretty predictable, but it looks really great and Bruce Davison is always good as the nerdy loser. It actually manages to be scary, and it was written by horror guru Stephen King. It's a good episode! Can be found on VHS volume 1.

My rating: Excellent episode. 20 mins. TV PG
