Just rewatched “Eerie Indiana” on Prime. Still a great show.

Darth_Garlic_Bread: Finding out this was on prime just made my day! Thank you!

_EVILLIVE_ It's a trip to see actors slightly older than me now as kids....there was a few cameos from people that I recognized like no shit that's freddy Rodriguez and nikki cox....I know there's more but those two I remember off the top of my head.

Captain_Roderick There was a young Toby Maguire, the voice of Panic (Disney Hercules), & I’m pretty sure the actual actor of Max Headroom is there as well as lots of people I know I recognized from countless small roles over the years. But, yea, lots of people. It was a trip.

ArugulaZ: There was an episode where a guy named "The Donald" hypnotized people with catchy TV commercials, made them buy useless crap on credit, then took their souls as collateral. I guess people should have been paying attention to Eerie Indiana, huh?

Captain_Roderick: Honestly, that was probably a direct reference to Trump. He’s been around forever being a shitty businessman. Even Sesame Street mocked him a few times over the years .

The show had quite a bit of politics in actually.

a-maizing-blue-girl: I’m thinking you are correct and we should have payed more attention. Episode 2 “The Retainer” had an Enquirer magazine with the headline “Our Next President?” And Trump’s picture. They inadvertently predicted Trump’s campaigning and win.

jeffmartin48early 80s: I had a big crush on Julie Condra because of this show and her appearances on The Wonder Years.

There was also a short lived spinoff, Eerie Indiana: The Other Dimension.

Captain_Roderick: I never saw the other dimension. It’s also on Prime & I plan on watching it too.

You say short lived... eerie Indiana was only 19 (one season) eps itself.

early 80s
Wrong phrase. All I could think of at the time. Seems like! It lasted a little longer.

The Other Dimension only lasted 15.

I remember that that they retooled the show and added Jason Marsden as Dash X.

HollowGoob: The Other Dimension is really really bad.

Captain_Roderick: That sucks. At least now I have low expectations going in.

Funky_Sack: I think everyone had a crush on her. She was nice to look at.

JoeMafia7: I was thinking about this show on the way to work just yesterday. Thank you for the knowledge its available on prime. 🤗

jax9999: God I loved that show

PotatoFancier: Holy crap! I was thinking about this show recently too

leadweightdeadweight: This was a great show. Does anyone recall a similar show that had to do with a family that ran a lighthouse?

Captain_Roderick: I believe you are looking for “Round The Twist”.

NocturnalPatrolAlpha90: Please, TV producers, I'm begging you! Bring back these kinds of shows!
