This episode is better than nightmare on elm street 2. Great way to start off the series! It tells about the begining of Freddy. It starts out with him on trial. And leads to how he was burned. A must see!

If you love the Freddy movies and are very interested in Freddy's pre- dream killer history, then you have got to see this episode. This was the pilot episode and it tells how Freddy was originally captured and then let go. It details how the angry parents found him and turned him into the man we all know and love today. This is intelligent writing and a must for any fan!!.

I got this for Christmas from my friend and had to watch it that very night. You can definitely tell that it is from the 80's. Ok, the story doesn't quite follow the movies, but how many different conflicting things have the fans seen by now? I really enjoyed this telling of the story to show how Fred became the dream killer we all grew to love in the "Nightmare on Elm Street" movies. I will say that the acting definitely is not award winning, although I think Robert Englund(Freddy Krueger) does a great job as usual. The story is good enough if you are a fan you will most likely really get a kick out of it. Now let's keep our fingers crossed that Robert Englund can get the Freddy Prequel movie up and rolling in another year or two.
Keep the faith.

Out of all the series this is the best episode. You get to see freddy before he was burned and you watch neighbors panic to hide their children from the serial killer. This cop has a daugter and when freddy goes to attack her, he arrests him withougt reading him his rights. this even shows his trial. And after that the parents all get [angry] and well...you know the rest. This is a great pre-sequel to the first Elm Street Movie. I would suggest watching this first then watching Elm Street 1. You will get the feel for the movie and you will even like it better then you have before.

I've seen worse. Nightmares 4, 5, and "Freddy's Dead" sure were. This is a decent prequel for the Nightmare series. Directed by horror legend Tobe (Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Eaten Alive, Poltergeist) Hooper. It shows the origin of Freddy, the trial, the release (although it is inconsistent with the first movie's monologue by Nancy's mother), the murders, and the parents of Springwood torching Freddy. One of the few episodes worth seeing.

No More Mr. Nice Guy goes into the story of how Freddy became "the man of your dreams." Begins with his trial, goes through his death and beyond. Obvious loopholes in plotline from the movie's story kind of spoils it, but this is the best episode released on video. This episode was followed by (the non-video released) episode: Sister's Keeper.

When I came across this some time ago, it took me down memory lane. I remember when this was a series on FOX-25 back in the day. This was actually the pilot episode, directed by Texas Chanisaw Massacre director Tobe Hooper.

This series actually went more for the horror than the comedy we were used to from the Nightmare movies. I always liked the feel of the series because it had a very eerie feel to it. While I never caught this episode in its days on television, I looked forward to seeing it.

"No More Mr. Nice Guy" shows the supposed origin of Freddy Krueger. He is a child murderer, found not guilty, due to the police forgetting to read him his rights. He eventually returns to terrorize the children in their sleep. This episode contradicts a lot of what has been explained about Krueger in the film series but is still worth adding to your collection if you are a die-hard Nightmare On Elm Street fan.

I was shocked because this is the first episode I have seen it was scary but when Freddy becomes it cracks me up!I bought this movie off the internet and was excited when it got here.It starts off Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund,ANOES SERIES) gets off free from a trial because when he was arrested but he was never read rights.The parents of ELM STREET ARE MAD and well U know the rest.It is gory.Shows Freddy getting burned,Claw marks on a guy,and Freddy killing a guy at the dentist by pulling his teeth out.You will laugh at the jokes that TOBE HOOPER put in this episode fans as we present the first episode "Freddys Nightmares:NO MORE MR. NICE GUY!" Enjoy

This is the first episode of the series and I really expected a lot more. The story given contradicts the plot of the original Nightmare on Elm Street movie. The actor who portrays the lead cop is a horrible actor. I realize this is a tv series from the 80's and did not have the same budget as the movie, but I was grossly disappointed by this tape. Especially in the scene where they show Freddy's murder by the town's people and when he kills the guard. Even if you are a fan of the movie series, this tape will disappoint you. This movie is to be avoided.

I've never seen this tv show before, and if I did then I must have been about two years old. It's not that bad, but I thought some parts were very boring and weird.

This is the only 'Freddy's Nightmares' episode I have seen. I guess that means they're pretty rare.

If you want to see this, then go for it. It's good to see a movie, before it goes out-of-print, even if it is bad. At least you can say to yourself, "I have seen that movie, and a lot of people haven't."
