Pluskylang Great Film overall

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

SnoopyStyle Marshall Teller (Omri Katz) thinks his new home of Eerie, Indiana is the center of weirdness for the entire planet. His father (Francis Guinan) moved the family from New Jersey for his job at Things Incorporated. Neither his mother (Mary-Margaret Humes) nor his older sister Syndi (Julie Condra) notice the weirdness. Only his friend Simon Holmes (Justin Shenkarow) sees it. Marshall keeps careful notes and evidences in his Museum of Weird.It's a short-lived TV show filled with fun ideas. It's an episodic Twilight Zone. The sardonic humor is all in the writing. The show does need a third to join Marshall and Simon to allow more fun interactions. Dash X comes in late in the season and provides them with an interesting relationship. A girl with the boys would be even more interesting. This is more of an one weird idea per week show. This is very imaginative and better than most kids TV shows. If the boys have a larger kiddie gang, that would make this even better.

Ginger87 I used to love to watch this show on Fox Kids when I was younger. It used to come on after Goosebumps(which I also loved to watch). I remember this show being very well written, scary, and funny. Too bad it didn't last for long.My favorite episode, as I remember, was the one when Marshall and Simon have to babysit Simon's younger brother Harley. In this episode Marshall and Simon get transported into a scary movie on T.V. Another one of my favorite episodes is the one when Marshall is afraid of twisters. This episode was very funny. I hope they bring this show back one day because I would like to see these episodes again. I give this show 10/10 stars.

Pythe I fondly remember watching reruns of this show on MoviePlex two or three years ago, when I was twelve or thirteen. Even back then, I knew how much better this was than the more popular shows of the time--"Are You Afraid of the Dark" and "Goosebumps." There are so many reasons, I don't even know where to begin.I'd say the principal reasons this show was so good was mostly because A) it didn't take itself too seriously and B) it didn't talk down to kids. Too many shows underestimate a child's resilience, and so they throw tired plots and cheesy "scares" at them, thinking (and unfortunately, they are usually correct) that these children will be satisfied. I only believe this works because most kids don't know until later what they are missing. But the thing that irks me most about Goosebumps (and, sometimes, Are You Afraid of the Dark) is that they take these cheesy scares so seriously that it quickly becomes not just silly, but in fact plain ridiculous. Not so with Eerie. Here, the plots are outlandish, unbelievable, and perhaps outright absurd, but the makers realize this, and so they are never _silly_. For example, one episode I remember concerned a group of ladies who are obsessed with a brand of Tupperware called "Foreverware," or some such thing, which keeps all food products fresh forever (one lady comments that she packaged some peas "when Jimmy Carter was president, and they're still as fresh as the day I opened them"). But, Marshall and Simon discover the ladies use Foreverware for more than just food storage--like remaining eternally young! Sounds about as frightening as a killer sponge under the sink (*cough R.L. Stine cough*), but not only do they make it work, they make it fun! I don't believe the intention of the show was ever to frighten (although it does get suspenseful at times). I think it was made to cause wonder, explore some of life's little mysteries, and perhaps even spoof the world we live in. I wouldn't go so far as to call it a satire, of life or of other horror shows, but it definitely has a tongue-in-cheek approach to things, and a dry sense of humor is usually present.To conclude, I can only say I really hope this is out on video somewhere. It's better than Goosebumps in every way imaginable, and more consistent than Are You Afraid of the Dark. And best of all, it won't induce an urge to puke, groan, or even roll your eyes.

Estella My sister and I saw Eerie Indiana when it was first screened on UK TV. We became instant fans of this funny quirky show. It's a rare kind of kids programme in that it is one that adults can enjoy. My sister and I were 13 or so when it was first aired, and now at almost 23 we're still huge fans! It was repeated a few years ago, and we made sure we recorded them all. They don't seem to have aged a bit, and certanley are not 'childish' at all. Omri Katz is just brilliant (come out of retirment Omri!!) and Justin Shenkarow and Jason Marsden are fab too. I recommend this to anyone, kid or adult. A gem that they just don't make anymore.....
