Ryan Palmer reviews Eerie, Indiana
This is more aimed at introducing a new generation of kids to it than at reminding old fans howgood it was
My next item on my list of Fantastic Adventures in Family Entertainment brings us to a rather strange and unusual place. It’s a small town in Indiana that you won’t find on any map. Together let us journey to Eerie, Indiana.
Marshall Teller’s family moves to the small country town of Eerie, Indiana (Pop. 16,661). There, Marshall discovers that Eerie, as he puts it, “is the center of weirdness for the universe”. Elvis lives there, so do a pair of twins who stay young by sleeping in Tupperware, and many other strange things. Each episode, Marshall and his friend Simon collect evidence about the creepy things that happen there.
Why it is a fantastic adventure: Filled with paranormal shenanigans, clueless parents and two boys with an unending thirst for adventure, this television show delivers hours of amazing adventures for the entire family.
First, we have the classic best friends solving crime combo that encourages your kids to get out of the house and go looking for their own mysteries in their neighborhood and, hopefully, make friends along the way!
This is a great introduction to Twilight Zone / X-FIles – esque storytelling. Lots of great mysteries, paranormal, treasure hunting, etc. Just a few example of some of the more memorable episodes: A family that is hundreds of years old but stay eternally young by sleeping in Tupperware, a talking ATM that tries to be nice to you while getting you to steal other people’s money, a retainer that allows you to hear the thoughts of dogs (turns out, dogs are plotting to take over the world!), a VCR that brings the characters in the movie to life, a school eye exam that leads to all of the kids becoming complacent drones, and more!
This show sparks the imagination of young kids more than any other I have ever seen. Your kids will love Marshal and Simon, want to go on adventures just like them, and begin to question their own reality. Are things truly as they seem, or is there some creepy paranormal force at work? Either way, it will begin to open your kids’ minds to thinking outside the box and, hopefully, inspire them to create their own mysteries and adventures with their friends.
Eerie, Indiana is available to own on DVD on Amazon.com
