RIP Michael J. Pollard, 80, Oscar-nominee for "Bonnie & Clyde", his most famous, terrific role. Had no idea his career began in the 50's, I also remember him from TV appearances like on Lost In Space, Star Trek, Superboy, and Eerie, Indiana. https://t.co/kmUnlqLQMz

I may be spending way too much time in my little Eerie, Indiana world here, but it really bugs me that I can't get a solid read on the political leanings of the Teller family. It normally wouldn't bug me, but the show makes so many political comments and I just can't tell where Marshall's dad stands. (Judging by the "Who's president?" "George Bush [Senior]." "Things are worse than I could have imagined!", etc. Imma go out on a limb and say the show's creators are fairly liberal. JUST A HUNCH.)

Mr. Teller jokes about there being no liberals in Eerie, tells Simon he'll explain what a liberal is when Simon's older, and felt betrayed by the Iran-Contra affair. I'm thinking...moderate Republican?

I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS IS BUGGING ME SO MUCH.

I think it's 'cause I just read an essay on it by someone else, but they determine that Eerie is fairly conservative and the show's creators are fairly liberal, and I'm like, "Duh. What about Marshall's daddy? SATISFY MY CURIOUSITY, PERSON WITH NO MORE AUTHORITY ON THE SUBJECT THAN I."

Also, I bought eight of the Eerie books today. Most of them for a cent each. Cost me a fair amount in shipping mind you, but I had a gift card.

This particular fandom obsession of mine? Possibly unhealthy.

The best and most loveable boy....being brainwashed. Side note, i find this to be the creepiest episode of TOD. Maybe because I also had a tamagotchi and the idea of them being evil is so off putting?

There’s a delightful in-joke in this episode. A con artist calling himself Professor Zircon brings his traveling Museum of the Parabelievable to Eerie and boasts that among his other accomplishments, he has regularly appeared on The Tonight Show. It’s true that Johnny Carson did have a number of… well, let’s just call them flim-flam men on his program, Uri Geller possibly being the highest profile one. And Carson would give them enough rope to hang themselves. More often, Carson would invite James Randi on his show to debunk the claims of so-called psychics and magicians. Professor Zircon wouldn’t last five minutes against the Amazing Randi.

Naturally, Zircon has a con in mind, a scheme involving some space junk crashing in the woods outside town. But the “professor” hadn’t reckoned on Eerie being a little more weird than he had in mind!

Episodes 1-5
Episodes 6-10
Episodes 11-15
Episodes 16-19

This was a very fun gifset to make, I wondered if there was any similarities between eps.. There isn't really except where the ep ends at the evidence locker. I noticed that the show got lighter each episode. Also, after Dash was introduced, the episodes started having titles displayed on the screen. Not sure why. I wasn't sure where to put Broken Record, so I put it in 16-19 (shrug emoj). Anyway. Enjoy.

The Eerie, Indiana screening in Manchester is one week away, and I need your help, Eerie fans! What should I wear to this, surely the social event of the year? How shall I accessorize? To blunder here is to spend an eternity mired in sartorial regret,and so I turn to you to narrow down my list of options.

I've divided them into three sections: necklaces, brooches and pins, on the basis that I can wear a bunch of different pins and at least a couple of brooches, but only one necklace.

Before we begin the winnowing, though, lets take a moment to be sad that since this takes place in mid-August, I won't get the chance to show off the awesome doorknob scarf

eviinsanemonkey made me, or the Loyal Order of Corn hat by LizzyLittleFish. To make up for it, here they are being modelled by by a rainbow sheep:

Quando l’ufologo Nigel Zirchron arriva ad Eerie per annunciare lo sbarco imminente degli extraterresti per Marshall e Simon sembra finalmente giunto il grande momento che aspettavano…

Puntata “Illusione d’infanzia” con i due protagonisti adolescenti che si scontrano con il cinismo e la miseria degli adulti anche se il finale, logicamente, cerca di preservare un minimo di speranza…

( Read more... )

Here we have an episode that pits the believable (science) against the unbelievable (paranormal phenomenon), and the battle is waged between Edgar, Marshall's scientific father, and Professor Nigel Zirchon, a man who arrives in Eerie with his "Traveling Museum of the Parabelievable". Zirchon, you see, is not an actual professor, nor does he have any sort of scientific credentials, but he still purports that everything in his “museum” is real, including the crisp, clear pictures of UFO's, and evidence of “mythical” creatures.

I shouldn't have to explain how excited our little Marshall and Simon are about this visitor, as they are certain he will simply confirm what they have always known: that Eerie, Indiana is the center of weirdness for the entire world. And their excitement reaches a fever pitch when Professor Zirchon makes an unexpected announcement: he has spotted something mysterious entering the Earth's atmosphere. His contacts at NASA confirm it can't be a spaceship or a meteor, so that leaves only one explanation: a flying saucer! And best of all, it's going to land right in Eerie!

But Edgar is skeptical. And so are we, as viewers, because Zirchon seems to be hatching some sort of plan with his assistant, that involves faking the whole alien landing! For their parts, Marshall and Simon want to get some approval from Zirchon, and bring a mold of a Bigfoot...er...foot that they took months ago out of a neighbor's backyard. Unfortunately, by the time they get it there, in a suitcase, the entire mold has broken in to little pieces. Poor kids!

Compounding matters is the mayor, who claims Zirchon's large vehicle is parked on city property, and so he must move by sundown, or he will be hit with a citation. Marshall, always being the helpful little guy, suggests he move the large truck to the Teller's driveway...needless to say, Edgar is not enthused about having to share a house with someone whose ideals and beliefs go in direct contradiction to his own, which leads to much tension between the two.

In a slight twist—one of many “slight” twists—the assistant who goes and sets up the fake space debris panics when he has a run-in with an actual Bigfoot! The following flare that he shoots in a panic is mistaken by Marshall and Simon as the falling space debris, and so the two go about to find it, dragging Zirchon and the family in tow. What they find is a metal ball that becomes the talk of the entire town!

And here's where things start to veer off from the standard children's show, as they most often do on this show: Marshall and Simon, in complete belief of Zirchon and his findings, search for proof in his laboratory...only to find the blueprint for creating the space ball, thus proving all of it was a sham. Or was it?

This episode has more twists than the average, and has a lot to say about the power of belief and family, with Edgar caught between telling Marshall the truth, or allowing him to believe things that aren't true. Where does a parent's obligation end? On the one hand, having an active imagination is certainly a good thing for a child (or teenager, or adult) to have, but it can also be counterproductive if it's allowed to go unchecked, and this plot provides the perfect setup for such an exploration of themes.

I will say the final “twist” ending didn't really do much for me; it's a little too “standard” for my tastes, especially given the unpredictable directions the show frequently likes to go. When taking the entire episode into consideration, though, it's above average and entertaining enough, and a good entry into the series.

EPISODE RATING: 7/10
