Oh hey! It was a fantastic show that had a massive effect on lots of us growing up, even over here in the UK, so thanks for creating it!

What long finished/canceled series do you find yourself randomly thinking about the most?

Farscape, one of my all time favorite sci-fi shows, wish we had more. Also have to mention Galavant and Eerie, Indiana, both great shows that should've had more seasons. pic.twitter.com/mUBFLIMp8m

This lot is one of the last links to the heyday of Columbia serials. I used it in "Gremlins," "Small Soldiers" and "Eerie, Indiana." Everyone from John Ford to Orson Welles shot here. It will be a shame to replace it with more soulless steel and glass.https://t.co/Rfzwtz7QAr

As someone who grew up with Gremlins, Small Soldiers and Eerie Indiana in the 90s this breaks my heart. Is nothing sacred anymore. :(:(:(

New blog post: It's the final episode of the delightful Eerie, Indiana... will Marshall just get over being fired and accept his death scene like a good young Hollywood actor? https://t.co/THSGVjSLzq pic.twitter.com/YWXdEDB0Q2

Queen of Robots reviews Eerie Indiana

Powermarathoned the series this weekend.

I had seen bits and pieces of it here and there, a scattered episode or two, but was finally able to get my hands on a brand new box set for only $35 this weekend at a local used place. The shrinkwrap was still on the individual DVD sleeves!

Sound really was nicely remastered - I wish the image had been given the same kind of care though. At least on my computer, the image looked a bit grainy and the color quality and intensity seemed to vary slightly from one episode to the next.

I was really surprised and pleased to see Tim Hunter, a director I associate with Twin Peaks, directed several episodes. I was also pleased to see Officer Andy from Peaks playing an equally interesting cop role in Eerie!

Conceptually, I noticed that in the final four episodes or so, it seems to me like the satire became much more biting, and I'm kind of wondering if the series might have continued further along that line if it had had a chance to grow properly. I'm also amused that long before Supernatural started toying with meta episodes and in-series reality breaking, Eerie did it - way advanced for a 90's "kid show", you know?

I don't hate Dash-X, but I'm not sure if Marsden's trying to do a terrible Christian Slater impersonation, or what; I wish he'd just played the character without the silly sotto voce attempt.

Probably my favorite ep just based on the first full run through is still the Loyal Order of Corn.

Of course, the show's influence on my current favorite series, Gravity Falls, is absolutely undeniable, and I've been recommending both series to fans of the other. Now that it's showing up on Amazon again, I'm thrilled that I can start introducing people to this series. I see it as the conceptual link between Twin Peaks and Gravity Falls.
