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

So much of Black Mirror has haunted me for years in real life, no joke. Now it is real life and I am just hoping I can wake up soon and it will be sucked back into the telly like in Eerie Indiana.
Get me a chuffing time machine so I can make sure the series was never made 😤

Eerie, Indiana, a place where nothing is quite what it seems. The series, revolves around 13 year-old Marshall Teller and his friend Simon encountering all the weirdness Eerie has to offer. From Tupperware that will keep anything fresh to braces that translate what dogs say into English, Eerie is the "center of weirdness" for the entire world.

But if I just showed up at your party would you have me? Would you want me? Would you tell me to go fuck myself or lead me to the garden?

Eerie Indiana sorta predicted today's social media and youtube attitude in young people and housewives. There was an episode where everyone was playing a role and thought they were famous #NBC
— Joe $ Rivera (@joerivera82) June 28, 2020

Aaaah, “Reality Takes a Holiday”, perhaps the most famous of all “Eerie, Indiana” episodes. And rightfully so, because for the first time, or at least the first time in a while, it feels like the show is dictating everything on its own terms. I've complained in the past about many things in this series, even though I like it: the pointlessness of certain characters (Dash-X and Syndi spring to mind), the uneven balance of creativity (some episodes seem like the show was trying to set a new standard for young adult shows, while others felt like they were just trying to blend in), etc., but I have to say that they wisely saved (one of) the best for last. This isn't just a great final episode of a children's show; this is a great final episode, period. (I guess this comes with an asterisk: This was the final episode of the original run. A nineteenth episode, which is not very good, was added on after the show was syndicated.)

It starts off a day like any other: The Teller family, plus Simon, are sitting around the lunch table, trying to beckon Marshall into going with them to see Revenge of the Corn Critters (a film the Wilson Twins give “two fingers up”, to which Simon jests, “Which fingers?”), the sequel to the popular first film. Marshall, per the usual, doesn't want to go, if for no other reason than everyone else does; he stays home while the rest head off to see the movie.

While he's outside, seeing them off, he decides to check mail. And there, in the mailbox, is a copy of a screenplay. A screenplay for a show called “Eerie, Indiana”, and an episode titled “Reality Takes a Holiday.” Confused, he reads through the first couple pages, which are a word-for-word repeat of the conversation he just had with his family. He re-enters his house...only to find his entire family sitting there, staring at him. Wait, didn't they just leave? His father utters a sentence to him, he repeats it back, and then Edgar loses it, cursing his inability to remember his lines. “Cut!” says a voice in the background, and everything is revealed to be nothing more than a set in a studio soundstage.

It all seems like a joke, and one that only poor Marshall isn't in on: He seems genuinely baffled when people keep referring to him as Omri (his “real life” name), and telling him that he is screwing up lines that he had no idea he even had. Amidst all the chaos and anger of the people around him, all he wants to know is, “What happened to my house?”

There's some inspired humor in the complete change between the way the characters act on the show, and their real-life personas: For example, Justin Shenkarow (who plays Simon), goes from sweet and innocent, to an egotistical maniac who consistently likes to harass women (he tries hitting on Julie Condra, who plays Syndi, provoking a slap at one point), and yell at his agent over his own personal cell phone in between takes. Francis Guinan (Edgar), throws on a sweater as a scarf and speaks with the accent of a sophisticated gentleman (“Really Omri? These lines aren't that hard to memorize. It isn't as if we're doing [laugh] Chekhov.”) And so breaks the fourth wall: Everyone is aware they are part of a television show, except for Marshall, who is actually stuck in character. Pretty clever, right?

In trying to escape his reality, he runs out of the indoor set, where he ends up on the studio lot. Dozens of people are moving about, carrying props and backgrounds, to the many soundstages nearby. This is when Marshall hears a familiar voice, and enters into The World o' Stuff, run by Mr. Radford. Radford doesn't appear to be “in on it”, as he refers to Marshall by “Marshall”, and seems to be a real shop owner. But when Marshall tells him his problem, Mr. Radford pulls out a copy of the script, telling him the answers always lie within those pages. They skip ahead to find out how everything is resolved...only to discover that the ending of the episode hasn't been written yet!

Figuring that if there's a script, there has to be a writer, Marshall heads to the office of Jose Schaefer (a combination between the names of the two series co-creators) to get to the bottom of this. As it turns out, Dash-X is planning on having Marshall killed off in this episode, an idea that Jose is on board with. This will allow Dash to take over as the new lead. But since everything is real to Marshall...does that mean that he will literally die in real life?

He doesn't intend to find that out. Instead, he sneaks into Jose's office and re-writes the ending to the episode, giving it to Jose's secretary to deliver to the production crew. Marshall shows back up on set, where they are excited to see him, and joins his acting family at the dinner table from the first scene. What is taking so long for the rewrite to arrive? (It's the 1991 printer, which has to make enough copies for everyone on set). He stalls for a few moments, while Dash is relishing the opportunity to kill him. Then, at last, it arrives.

Marshall closes his eyes in relief...only to discover his onscreen family staring at him when he reopens them. They're still waiting for an answer. Is he or isn't he going to see the movie with them? Shocked, Marshall gets up and looks outside, where he sees neighbors enjoying a beautiful summer day; he's no longer on a set, but back to real life! As a token of thanks, he agrees to see the movie with his family, but a page of script catches his eye...

I've said it a million times over the course of these episodes, but this show was always at its peak when it wasn't afraid to do its own thing, and it certainly wasn't afraid here. The entire installment, from concept to execution, is pretty close to genius. It doesn't quite usurp “Heart on a Chain's” place on the throne as the best this show ever produced, but it's easily the best example of the show's trademark lighthearted quirkiness. (Listening to Syndi berate Marilyn for getting a tattoo by saying, “Self-mutilation is playing right into the hands of the male power structure,” is a thing of beauty. So too, is Marilyn's response: “It's my midlife crisis. You'll know what it's like in ten years.” So too, again, is Syndi's response: “Fifteen.”)

It would be impossible for one episode to completely justify the sudden appearance of Dash-X, but this one deserves points for trying. We've always known that he has always been drawn into situations for selfish reasons (usually involving beefing up his bank account), so to see him try to oust Marshall so he can take over as the show's star comes as close as possible to explaining his role in the show, in an almost "meta" kinda way. It feels like he was working “undercover” to get what he wanted all along, helping Marshall out to gain his trust so he could ultimately tear the rug out from under him...for good.

This would be the perfect episode for those looking to get into the series and see some of the best it has to offer, but I'm hesitating to recommend it in that regard, because many of the remaining episodes just don't reach its lofty heights. Besides, who eats the cherry on a sundae first? It's best to save it for last, knowing that there's always a light at the end of the tunnel, should you ever want to quit watching the series. I'm not certain this would go down as one of the great farewells in episodic television history, simply because I don't watch enough full series to make an accurate statement on that, but I am fairly certain that a strong case could be made.

EPISODE RATING: 9/10

Probably one of Hollywood's biggest Acceptable Targets, the Former Child Star is just what it sounds like: a star of TV or film whose career was at its peak in their formative years. Alas, such an unorthodox childhood can leave its mark on anyone (especially if they were Not Allowed to Grow Up), and it always does in fictional depictions of the Former Child Star. In adulthood, they may be a struggling actor who finds it hard to be taken seriously when everyone remembers them as "that one kid from that one show," if they're remembered at all.

It doesn't help that puberty is a fickle beast and there is no guarantee that a cute and adorable kid will have Hollywood looks as an adult. Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe may have matured nicely since their Harry Potter days, but there are countless others whose adolescent years weren't nearly as kind, making it that much harder to find acting work as adults.

As for those who left showbiz, many wind up mourning their glory days in a dead-end job, caught up in Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll, or (dis)gracing the covers of tabloids after a run-in with the law. Sadly, a case of Truth in Television, as the troubled biographies of some real-life Former Child Stars will show.

It should be noted that the worst examples of this trope in real life come from kids whose home lives were unstable to begin with: abusive, exploitative stage parents and/or a family history of addiction will make a child actor particularly vulnerable to the excesses of Hollywood. There are others who grew into relatively-normal adults, like Jodie Foster and Bill Mumy, because their parents took care to give them a stable upbringing under the circumstances.

No doubt Growing Up Sucks for them... especially if they're treated as though they never did.

Compare White-Dwarf Starlet, an older version of this trope, as well as Hates the Job, Loves the Limelight. See also Horrible Hollywood. For other grown-up kids, see School Yard Bully All Grown Up and Kid Hero All Grown-Up.

This trope applies not only to theatre and motion picture, but also to several sports, such as gymnastics, and arts, such as ballet, where the athletes rise to the top very young and the career is likely to be short.

Lampshaded in "Reality Takes a Holiday". Marshall, having been transported behind the scenes of Eerie, Indiana, runs off in the middle of make-up to prevent himself from getting killed off. When his on-screen sister Julie Condra wonders where he is going, the make-up artist says, "Where's any red-blooded teen star go when they get cancelled? On a crime spree."

Among all the amazing content that Amazon Prime Video has been curating lately, the one-season wonder of Eerie, Indiana has invoked the most nostalgia. Filling the void of small-town weirdness vacated by Twin Peaks’ cancellation, Eerie, Indiana was an anthology series set in a town filled with strange occurrences investigated by teen Marshall Teller (Hocus Pocus’ Omri Katz) and his sidekick Simon (Justin Shenkarow). NBC boldly placed this family-friendly oddball show smack in the middle of prime-time network television during the 1991-1992 season, and enlisted a slew of well-regarded horror talent. Horror master Joe Dante directed the pilot, among a handful of other episodes, and stayed on as a creative consultant for the remainder of the series. Which meant he had a direct say in casting, and setting the initial tone. He even appears as himself in the ballsy meta finale. Critically adored, Eerie Indiana cleverly towed the line between light-hearted, quirky humor and its underlying darkness, but its unforgiving time slot and expensive production ultimately relegated it to a single season.

Check out Joe Dante directing the actors in the scene as the camera gets set up in the background.

When DC Comics decided to reboot Superman in the mid-’80s—the first of many reboots to come—editor Julius Schwartz agreed to let an eager Alan Moore write the last adventure of the “old” Superman, in a story called “Whatever Happened To The Man Of Tomorrow?” As a way of hedging their bets, Moore and DC dubbed it “an imaginary story,” reviving a concept DC writers often used in the ’50s and ’60s when they wanted to play around with the Superman mythology without wrecking continuity. But Moore threw a curveball in his opening caption, writing, “This is an Imaginary Story… aren’t they all?” This has become a well-quoted line, cited by anyone easily irritated by the way science-fiction/fantasy/adventure fans become preoccupied over what’s “real” or what isn’t in their favorite fictional universes. For some, though, when Alan Moore wrote that line, he committed a crime against fiction.

Do storytellers have an obligation to maintain suspension of disbelief? Some people love it when a creator reminds the audience that what they’re reading or watching is nothing more than an elaborate fake, while others feel betrayed by that kind of willful goofery, wondering why they should invest time and interest in characters and situations that even the authors don’t take seriously. Being flip is risky.

That probably explains why Joe Dante has had such a rocky career. Weaned on wiseass Warner Bros. cartoons and endearingly fakey B-movies, Dante has always been a proponent of gags over realism, pushing his tongue deeply into his cheek in movies like Piranha, Small Soldiers, and the Gremlins series. Check the credits of any TV anthology series produced after 1980, and chances are Dante directed an episode or two, usually taking on scripts with quirky or mind-bending aspects, such as the Amazing Stories episode “The Greibble,” in which a voracious Seussian children’s-book character comes to life and terrorizes a suburban home, or the Night Visions episode “The Occupant,” about a woman who thinks an intruder has been rearranging the furniture in her house, until she learns that it isn’t her house, and she’s the intruder.

In 1991, José Rivera and Karl Schaefer co-created Eerie, Indiana, a kid-friendly spin on Twin Peaks and The Twilight Zone about a boy named Marshall Teller (played by Omri Katz) who lives with his family in a small town infested with monsters and unexplained phenomena. Joe Dante was brought in as a creative consultant and frequent director, since this kind of premise—wholesome Americana undercut by the bizarre—is Dante’s stock in trade. In the 18th episode of Eerie, Indiana’s lone 19-episode season, Dante also makes an appearance, playing himself: the harried director of an episode of Eerie, Indiana.

Very excited to announce the 3 classic episodes of Eerie, Indiana what we will be watching together on Wednesday!

First up, Episode 1: "Forever Ware"
Marshall's mother, Marilyn, hosts a neighborhood party of Forever Ware, Tupperware style plastic containers that can keep anything fresh — and Marshall discovers that this extends to human life.

Followed by, Episode 7: "Heart on a Chain"
Marshall and a classmate, Devon fall for the new girl, Melanie who needs a heart transplant. When Devon dies in a gruesome accident, Melanie receives Devon's heart — and her personality changes almost overnight. Is Melanie acting out because she feels guilty over Devon's death or does Devon's spirit live on in his transplanted heart, which is now in Melanie's body?

And to finish up, Episode 18: "Reality Takes a Holiday"
In this self-referential episode, Marshall finds a television script in the mail and suddenly finds himself behind the scenes of Eerie, Indiana where his friends and family are the actors and actresses on the show and everyone refers to him as Omri Katz.

Marshall Teller's touch was gentle as he laid the comic flat on the coffee table in his parent's living room, handling the cheap paper less like a valued artefact and more like a pet tarantula that, while docile enough for now, might still bite if provoked.

"Simon," he said, voice hoarse. "What do you see?"

Simon glanced over.

"Superman versus the Intergang?" he said. "I don't know what that is."

Marshall shook his head.

"The advert on the other side," he said.

Simon gasped.

"It's a photo of us!" he said. "Marshall, we're famous!"

At least he hadn't said "Omri".

Tried to watch the new twilight zone but I just didnt find it that good - compared to say black mirror. Anyway got me thinking about the original twilight zone and watched a few episodes of that which was pretty good.

As a teenager I vaguely remember watching something similar to the twilight zone or it could've been it, but it was in colour. One particular episode involved people being sucked into a TV and I think they end up bring part of the show or something...i know its a bit vague, but it was a long time ago.

Does anyone have any idea what TV series this was. Everything I've seen from the old twilight zone is black and white. This TV series was definitely in colour. Probably on TV in the 80's?

I LOVE this show. Hardly anyone seems to remember it. Apart from my sister. But that’s because we watched it together!
— Martina Silcock (@scrunchmunch) March 21, 2020

I still think of it often!

Me too! Marshall, Dash-X...I cant remember the name of Marshall’s ginger mate right now though. Do you remember the ep that went really meta and everyone was in a tv series called Eerie, Indiana?
— Martina Silcock (@scrunchmunch) March 21, 2020

Of course! That was my favourite episode!

THE META EPISODE BLEW MY TEEN MIND

Question for everyone else stuck at home: What is a short-lived TV show that you loved that not a lot of people talk about? 1 season or less.
— KSiteTV (@KSiteTV) March 19, 2020

Eerie, Indiana.
(It was on one of those TV channels that changed half way through the evening. Like it would be Bravo half the time and maybe infomercials after 8.30pm. Except that Bravo would be on all evening on some other provider...or something, I don't know. 1/2
— eilf (@Elflas12) March 19, 2020

Anyway they showed all but the last episode at 8pm and the LAST FREAKING episode was moved to a time the channel wasn't available...so I've never seen it...) 2/2

.@Wart_M : Cosplay wedding. The couple could dress up as their OTP...

Me: NO!

In fairness, I acknowledge that for many people with normal OTPs, this could be sweet and romantic. Mine is...not that.

A destination wedding... https://t.co/65Y0E7ZPPD
— eerieindianadw (@eerieindianalj1) March 12, 2020

Yeah, and then your killer honeymoon is in alternate reality NBC. #eerieindiana #notrelationshipgoals
— 🧟‍♂️ Undead Rebel Scum 🏳️‍🌈 (@deifire) March 13, 2020

Finally a killer honeymoon that isn't pure hyperbole...
