Eerie, Indiana! They had so much potential for more stories in that universe

justAskn4afriend: I still remember that fucking tupperware

ElChambon: Yep. Read the shows name in the comment above and this was the first thing to pop into my head. That and some episode where a kid made a friend with an ATM and it gave him money.

mrtomhimself: I vaguely recall this from when I was a kid, it was a very weird, wonderful show

waiting_for_Falkor: I loved this as a kid!!

MonkeyChoker80: Didn’t they make a ‘sequel series’ like, 10 years later? If I remember right they had Marshall and crew discover an alternate universe Eerie, and then the show followed the new kids’ adventures.

Brocky70: I did a quick research on wikipedia:

It originally aired on ABC kids in 1991 but failed to get much audience. Years later fox kids aired it on Saturday morning, giving it an unexpected rise in popularity. So fox ordered a "sequel" series that was basically the same set up but with different actors, but it didn't have the same reaction, so it got axed after one season

Reminds me of seasons 3 and 4 of goosebumps, fox wanted more stories that were "easier to adapt" for television, so they just wrote their own ideas that had no basis from the books, fans didnt care for the difference, so it canned as well

squawkingood: I thought it got a second season, but for some reason the second season only aired 4 episodes. I remember they promoted the gray haired kid to the main cast for those episodes.

plzdonteatthedaisies: Ooh, I remember this one! Really enjoyed it!

TenderMarcy: Holy crap yes thank you!!

SeymourZ: The kid with the grey hair

I used to love these two shows. I was around 7 when they came out but they were different to than the usual teen comedy genre. More surrealistic. It’s a shame that neither lasted a longtime. Parker Lewis has a decent run But Eerie Indiana Only aired 19 episodes I think. I know the kid who was the main character in that went on to be in one of my favorite 90s movies Matinee directed by Joe Dante. Anyway two great cult shows

I rewatched Eerie, Indiana last year on Amazon Prime. Held up pretty well to me. I miss these type of shows.

Muroid: They keep the episodes stored in Foreverware.


DesperatePleasure: Loved both of these shows. With Erie, one episode a girl with a hear transplant or something. I think she was in Roseanne for a bit. First TV crush or the moment I hit puberty cause my chest felt like it was gonna explode.

Duckstomp: For some reason I remember there was a scene in Parker Lewis with a banner in the background that says, "thanks for not watching Eerie Indiana" or something similar.

vman_isyourhero: Dude from Eerie Indiana is the main in Hocus Pocus and now he's a weed man.

NoPastaForGrandma: For any eerie Indiana fans, I highly recommend Gravity Falls. Because it’s an animated Disney show aimed at kids I would never have watched it if it weren’t for countless praises by adult critics as suitable for adults. Then I read an interview with the creator who literally said that he loved Eerie Indiana as a kid and that you can’t pitch a show as “basically this show I like a lot that got cancelled too soon but new” but that’s essentially what it is.

Same general vibe, but even better: funnier and an overarcing plot throughout the series. Worth checking out if you have fond memories of Eerie Indiana.


SANTOSHiHoHiHoHiHo: Haven't seen Parker Lewis since the 90's. Eerie Indiana is still great.

TheColorWolf: That corn episode of eerie gave me nightmares. I love it.

ChrisTosi: Didn't Eerie, Indiana come out a couple of years after Parker Lewis?

80sBadGuy: There was a period of time I considered Eerie, Indiana the best show on television.

And that period is now!

I would buy the distribution rights to all the 80s/90s/2000s TV shows I liked that were never released on DVD or streaming and put them out in HD, mostly so I can watch them.

Eerie, Indiana RIGHT GODDAMN NOW please and thank you

Hi, TOMT. For years, I've been trying to find what I believe was some type of sci-fi movie or TV episode that I believe I saw as a kid sometime in the USA in the 1990s, but have never had any luck with Googling and the like. My memory is fuzzy and I'm surely misremembering details by now, and getting some things just completely wrong, but I'll try to describe the image in my head the best I can as a starting place.

The setting is some type of featureless void. A woman is walking through it, and comes upon an impish, perhaps not-entirely-human boy huddled over, eating a squirrel or a rat or something like that raw, with blood smeared on his mouth. They speak, and he invites her to play a game that I think he called "knack the atom," or "knock the atom," or something like that. He tells her that if she gets it wrong, the universe may be destroyed, and he hands her something like clear blocks or shapes with which to play the game.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? I'm fairly certain that this was something I saw on TV, and wasn't a dream or the like. I wasn't creative enough to imagine something like this anyways, haha. Thanks in advance!

machstem: Probably not what it is, but for some reason you brought up the memory of Eerie Indiana

I'll check some episode descriptions for that, but I don't think this was from a show aimed at children. I could be wrong, though.

HerbertWest: Eerie Indiana was and is a really underrated show! I rewatched it recently, and it holds up, unlike a lot of other shows that old.

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.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/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!
