Eerie, Indiana

I was 9/10 years old when this very original show was on and I was hooked on the first episode. The show featured some bizarre moments (On the pilot alone you had two adults being preserved as children by sleeping inside a giant Tupperware)but always kept things kid friendly. Simon and Marshall were a bit the kid's answer to Mulder and Scully and their world was like Twin Peaks.People in every corner were a bit off.It was a show that was just fascinating for me when I was a child. The Brain child of Joe Dante (Gremlins) , this was a superior children show that I believe parents could watch and enjoy as much as the kids. This is the type of show that makes you think "They just don't make TV like they used to" If you compare this to what children watch these days (Looking at you Disney and Nickelodeon!!!) you will feel quite sad. Omri Katz (whom most people remember from "Hocus Pocus")was a great lead. He was likable , sure of himself and charismatic.The kind of kids other kids want to be. The rest of the cast were fine , especially the adults who never played down their characters even when some of the situation they had to act out were strange to the extreme. You definitely feel a lot of love was put into that short lived show. To make it short this was an underrated gem that did not last as long as it should have but that will always have a special place in the hearts of 90's children such as myself!
