Telstar Film reviews Eerie, Indiana

[froodle]

"Eerie, Indiana is an absurdist fantasy series about a young boy called Marshall Teller (Omri Katz) who moves with his family from New Jersey to the town of Eerie, Indiana (hey, that’s the name of the show!) and discovers that Eerie is – and I quote from the opening titles – the “centre of weirdness for the entire planet”. With his new friend Simon (Justin Shenkarow) he’ll often find himself in many scary situations, from evil body-preserving tupperware to evil scheming poodles. It’s most certainly not a show to take seriously. It was broadcast on NBC in the early nineties but cancelled after only 19 episodes. However, it was shown on Fox Kids in 1997, and this is how I came into contact with it for the first time. It spawned a new, recast series of episodes but as far I know I never watched them."

SkoolDays remembers Eerie, Indiana

[froodle]

This ultra-quirky sitcom was notable for any reasons. Not only did it place the family sitcom in a unique setting and situation, its sophisticated handling of its paranormal elements also paved the way for later non-sitcom shows like The X-Files and Roswell.

The show focused on Marshall Teller, a young man who felt quite homesick when his inventor father, Edgar, uprooted the family from their New Jersey home and moved them to Eerie, a small town in Indiana. Also along for the ride were Marilyn, Marshall’s mom, and Syndi, his narcissistic older sister. Marshall’s post-move depression quickly gave way to bemusement when he took stock of his new surroundings.

ForteanTimes forum thread on Eerie, Indiana

[froodle]

I though it deserved a thread of its own as it gave a lot of us our (early nineties) pre-X-Files dose of weirdness and it was often funny, spooky and genuinely weird at the same time - I remember and episode (episode 18) where the whole conventions of a TV series fall apart.
