Once my housing situation is cleared up, I need to get back to face to face gaming. I have Ryuutama on the shelf, haven't played it yet, and I've been reading Tales From the Loop which seems like something I could really get into as well.

— NewbieDM (@newbiedm) June 24, 2019

I think you'd like Tales From the Loop. I think you could do a reasonable Back to the Future-inspired game from it too.

— Dave Chalker (@DaveTheGame) June 24, 2019

Oh yes, for sure. I've given it some thought. A game based on that German show Dark would be cool.

— NewbieDM (@newbiedm) June 24, 2019

I don't think I know that one.

— Dave Chalker (@DaveTheGame) June 24, 2019

Let me know what you think. Some people called it the german Stranger Things. I'm not sure I agree, but I can see why they did.

— NewbieDM (@newbiedm) June 24, 2019

I eat that stuff up. Eerie, Indiana is one of my all-time favorites.

PBI Crypto on Lost Tapes

[froodle]

As cheesy and badly acted as it was, I still love the show 'Lost Tapes'. It always came across to me like if the early 90's Fox kids "horror" lineup (Goosebumps, Eerie Indiana, etc.) grew up and became an adult. Heck, I'm watching an episode right now on Amazon.

My Nue Jeens on Eerie Indiana

[froodle]

I’ve been watching Eerie Indiana on Netflix pretty much all day and I’m surprised that out of all of the cheesy 90’s kids shows this one only lasted a season. It’s so good! I’m kind of loving it all over again. Also surprised it’s even on Instant Queue. Lucky Me :)

2. THIS THIS THIS

3. last night, I had the most vivid, terrifying, and intriguing dream. it involved explosions, genetic mutations, creepy matrix-like living conditions…gah, I just can’t find the words. but, I can still see it. and so, I’m gonna try to put it down on paper.

4. flip channels. karate kid. what!

5. a student was robbed outside the dorm I lived in once upon a time. good to know, six o'clock news. and that’s why I never watch you.

6. my mom wears me out. eh. mo. shun. uh. lee.

7. I’m not okay with all the christmas themed commercial jingles. no I am not.

8. eerie, indiana is on netflix. okay. my night is planned.

9. it goes without saying most of the time, but autostraddle brightens my day.

DirtyVices on Eerie Indiana

[froodle]

Eerie, Indiana the COMPLETE SERIES is on Netflix and I’m watching it.

HELL YEAHHH!

Does anyone else even remember this show?

Funny how shows like Eerie, Indiana and Goosebumps and Are you afraid of the Dark? used to scare me as a kid and are just kinda cheese-ishly awesome.

Harry R Rules on Eerie Indiana and the Other Dimension

[froodle]

TV is the workhorse of our consumer society. And all TV asks in return is that you think - merely think about purchasing some of its fine products and ideas. No obligations. No expectations. No hard feelings if you’re not buying today. No! Just have a look-see is all TV asks. Oh, the medium is so generous, so compassionate, so understanding. It does your thinking for you. It is your friend. It gives so much and asks so little. And yet, there are some who don’t rush to embrace it. […] But TV doesn’t hold that against them. No, sir. You see, TV knows that it’s not their fault. TV takes the blame. And TV knows what to do: give you more channels. As many as it takes. Until it finds the one - the one! - that is right for you.

“Eerie, Indiana: The Other Dimension” was a spin-off of “Eerie, Indiana” one of my favorite shows growing up. It was the first show I ever really got into. I taped all the episodes, I read all the tie-in books. The first website I ever made was a poorly-spelled in-character personal page by the protagonist. I loved it. I still do. And the spin-off (which was really more of a reboot, I guess) wasn’t as good but it was good enough. It had its moments.

The first episode’s villain is a cable guy from the original dimension who brings all of Eerie’s “weirdness” to the new one thorugh satellite TV. He believes TV has chosen him to bring its good word to a whole new consumer base. As a result the new Eerie filling up with bigfoots and Elvises, and the town’s residents are turning into mindless TV zombies! The show’s new characters - who are just alternate-dimensional versions of the originals - speak to the old ones through recycled footage on a snowy CRT television. It’s a smart way to establish the show’s changes while winking the inconsistency of the medium that would allow for such thing.

Everyone says that kid shows these days aren’t as good as the ones we had growing up. But I don’t know. I’m starting to think it’s more about the way the TV you watch when you’re a kid sinks into your head and forms the way you think about everything. And that messes with you the same way it’s hard not to judge new relationships by the standards of the old ones - I can’t see a kid’s TV show and feel sorry they missed out on things like “Eerie, Indiana.” I can’t watch a new episode of “The Simpsons” without getting bummed out.

And maybe the roots of my television evangelism can be traced back to watching this episode over and over on VHS. And maybe the trouble I have trusting people is a direct result of all my favorite shows being cancelled in their prime by Fox.

Probably not. But maybe.

shmeiliarockie on Gravity Falls

[froodle]

People acting like Gravity Falls only started going dark in the second season. Did you watch the last half of the first season? Or the shorts? Bill Cipher was a legit demon -addressed as such in the show, might I add-, why didn’t you draw the line there? (Was it because he’s a cute pyramid? I bet it was.) Have you just not been paying attention all this time? Seriously, GF has always been dark. Stop acting so surprised about it now.

Personally, I love the direction the show’s headed. It reminds me of the kids’ show I grew up on - Eerie, Indiana. And let’s not forget that show ended with the main character narrowly avoiding being shot to death. It had a whole episode that revolved around a gun, and another about demonic messages in rock music. The entire town once sold their souls to the devil for shopping credits at the mall (in their sleep, due to subliminal advertising no less). So don’t talk to me about adult themes in kids shows. I grew up in the early and mid 90s, when kids’ shows didn’t kid around.

*drops the mic*

shmeiliarockie on X-Men: DoFP

[froodle]

I haven’t seen X-Men: DoFP yet (way late to that party, just saw First Class two days ago), but Tumblr made me love Quicksilver already. I’ve always had a thing for young guys with silver hair (Dash X**, I blame you). I felt weird for being slightly attracted to him because he appears to be a little too young, so I looked up Evan Peters on IMDB and he’s only three years younger than me. That’s perfectly acceptable, IMO.

Actors and actresses who look at least ten years younger than they really are just amaze me. Or like, half their age in some cases! I’m gonna call this “Blessed/Cursed with Baby Face”, which should totally be a TV Trope. Blessed because who doesn’t want to always look that youthful, but Cursed because in Hollywood that usually means you’re stuck playing teenagers forever.

** Actually, now that I think about it, this version of Quicksilver looks just enough like a fashion-conscious, non-hobo Dash that that’s EXACTLY the reason I think he’s attractive. Dash X was one of my very first crushes and still holds a special place in my heart twenty-some years later.

the series ‘eerie, indiana’ was cancelled before they got a chance to be a proper team, but i imagine they would’ve been.

I made Blythe watch Eerie, Indiana, and now we’re on the final episode. An episode whose plot I’m pretty sure got stolen by Supernatural, now that I think about it.

BitterScriptReader on your unwritten pilot...

[froodle]

Good news! Your next pilot’s been ordered to series before you’ve written it.

The catch: it’s pre-cast with your celebrity crushes when you were 13. So how are you building a show around that?

— Bitter Script Reader (@BittrScrptReadr) June 25, 2019

Janine Turner and Julie Condra(the girl who played Madeline Adams on the Wonder Years) are estranged sisters who reconcile after the death of their father and are now running his restaurant in Manhattan together.

— Fungo (@Fastbak77) June 25, 2019

I’m mildly insulted this implies I wouldn’t know who played Madeline on THE WONDER YEARS https://t.co/eQIKs2XhKO

— Bitter Script Reader (@BittrScrptReadr) June 25, 2019

I know, just for your followers who don't! I had the same stunned reaction as Kevin seeing her. I looked up her age at the time she first appeared and she was 20 IRL which explains a lot! No 14 year old girl I knew looked like that! pic.twitter.com/yEgGvymopk

Yeah, TWY usually cast the girls around Savage’s age, but this time they went WAY over.
