This was a wonderful and quirky TV series that somehow didn't succeed. Part of this was because the show was marketed as a kids' show--limiting its appeal--even though the show was great for the entire family. Part of this was because the network moved the show around--a sure death knell for a TV show. It's a shame, really, as the show was very good. Now this isn't to say that every episode was gold, but this was also the case with "The Twilight Zone" and other anthology shows--there are great ones and not so great ones.The show is about friends Marshall and Teller--two kids living in the ultra-bizarre town of Eerie, Indiana. In this town, every weird thing on the planet comes to life. In the opening credits you see Elvis (among others) walking down the street and the show took advantage of numerous crackpot conspiracy theories and did them in a very funny tongue in cheek manner.My favorite of these bizarre tales was the second episode. This is where the kids discover that after a friend gets braces, he can somehow hear the thoughts of dogs--and the dogs are apparently plotting to take over the world! However, most of the episodes have a similar weirdness about them and it was hard to dislike the show due to clever writing.Considering they only made 19 episodes, it's surprising that the series was actually released to DVD--a testament to its cult appeal.

I first saw Eerie, Indiana when I was about 13 and the first episode, Foreverware kept me in suspense. I was impressed because I could tell this was going to be a good show. TV didn't seem to have much else on except another show I liked, 'Parker Lewis can't lose', so it was cool to have something captivating to watch. Strangely no one else I knew watched Eerie, so it was just for me. More than 10 years has passed and Season 1 is actually on TV again. Of course after all those years I could barely remember the show, and remembering 2 episodes only just, so watching it again has been interesting. Omri Katz and Justin Shenkarow made their characters believable and gave a great performance. The show reminds me a bit of the 'X Files' and sometimes 'Even Stevens' and 'Sliders', which I really enjoyed. I liked that this show reminded me that there are weird things that happen and then people that notice these weird happenings.

This show was phenomenal. I mean wow lol. I just recently bought this on DVD, this show was way ahead of its time. The dialog and the writing was very smart. IF you watch closely in some episodes, you will notice different things. The characters were great 2. I especially like 'The Lost Hour' episode in which Marshall gets... well lost lol. This show, when you watch the full series in order, you will be yearning 4 more. This is full of guest stars as well, ranging from Tobey Maguire, John Astin 2 Matt Fewer.

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.
