Jeanskynebu the audience applauded

SunnyHello Nice effects though.

PodBill Just what I expected

Verity Robins Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Sparrow_in_flight When Eerie, Indana first emerged, I was thrilled. It wasn't a cartoon, it had interesting characters, and every episode featured something weird. Urban legends, monsters, UFOs, and more...it was great.Now, as an adult, I've re-watched the series on DVD. And I've discovered I still love it. The acting is just as great as I remember, and to see great acting in a kid's show is somewhat of a rarity.Eerie, Indiana also had some innovative moves for a kid's show. Rather than every episode being a separate plot in its own, with no tie to the series as a whole, Eerie actually tried to work in a myth-arc. Unfortunately, the show was killed early before we could see what would emerge in regards to Dash X. And most shows would like to pretend they're not anything else. But "Reality Takes a Holiday", in which Marshall suddenly finds himself on the set of a show called 'Eerie, Indiana' and that everyone thinks he's an actor, proves the show knows exactly what it is: a TV show meant to entertain and slightly creep out. It took itself seriously, but no so seriously that it forgot that.After Eerie ended, a horde of other kids' shows in the same niche emerged, including, of course, a remake of the original. While the new Eerie show followed the adventures of Simon and Marshall's counterparts in an alternate universe, and had some creative ideas, it missed the mark.This show broke ground for this genre of kids' television, since I don't recall many other kids' shows of the area dealing with the supernatural. Perfect for anyone who likes weird stuff.

Ginger87 I used to love to watch this show on Fox Kids when I was younger. It used to come on after Goosebumps(which I also loved to watch). I remember this show being very well written, scary, and funny. Too bad it didn't last for long.My favorite episode, as I remember, was the one when Marshall and Simon have to babysit Simon's younger brother Harley. In this episode Marshall and Simon get transported into a scary movie on T.V. Another one of my favorite episodes is the one when Marshall is afraid of twisters. This episode was very funny. I hope they bring this show back one day because I would like to see these episodes again. I give this show 10/10 stars.

neiljones1981 Fascinating little show, still turns up in the UK every once in a while. Only 19 episodes and a further unaired one? Shame, really as it had quite a lot of unexplored terrority to go over, such as Dash X (or as Mitchell called him "Plus and minus") and exactly where he fitted into things. I dare say if it had been left to run, like all good things, it would have explained itself, or at least gone off on a tangent.The 'Reality Takes A Holiday' episode is by far the most surreal and bizarre episode of anything I've ever seen on TV (although some of the stuff that comes out of Japan and turns up on Tarrant On TV comes close). The 'Reality Takes A Holiday' episode basically starts calling everybody by the names of the actors. So Mitchell turned into Omri (Omri Katz, the actor name), Simon turned into Justin (Justin Shenkarow) and so on. I honestly thought somebody had given the broadcaster the wrong tape and we were actually watching one of those so-called "end of year" tapes that find their way onto shows like Alright On The Night and Denis Norden. But its one of the highlights of the entire run though.

Pythe I fondly remember watching reruns of this show on MoviePlex two or three years ago, when I was twelve or thirteen. Even back then, I knew how much better this was than the more popular shows of the time--"Are You Afraid of the Dark" and "Goosebumps." There are so many reasons, I don't even know where to begin.I'd say the principal reasons this show was so good was mostly because A) it didn't take itself too seriously and B) it didn't talk down to kids. Too many shows underestimate a child's resilience, and so they throw tired plots and cheesy "scares" at them, thinking (and unfortunately, they are usually correct) that these children will be satisfied. I only believe this works because most kids don't know until later what they are missing. But the thing that irks me most about Goosebumps (and, sometimes, Are You Afraid of the Dark) is that they take these cheesy scares so seriously that it quickly becomes not just silly, but in fact plain ridiculous. Not so with Eerie. Here, the plots are outlandish, unbelievable, and perhaps outright absurd, but the makers realize this, and so they are never _silly_. For example, one episode I remember concerned a group of ladies who are obsessed with a brand of Tupperware called "Foreverware," or some such thing, which keeps all food products fresh forever (one lady comments that she packaged some peas "when Jimmy Carter was president, and they're still as fresh as the day I opened them"). But, Marshall and Simon discover the ladies use Foreverware for more than just food storage--like remaining eternally young! Sounds about as frightening as a killer sponge under the sink (*cough R.L. Stine cough*), but not only do they make it work, they make it fun! I don't believe the intention of the show was ever to frighten (although it does get suspenseful at times). I think it was made to cause wonder, explore some of life's little mysteries, and perhaps even spoof the world we live in. I wouldn't go so far as to call it a satire, of life or of other horror shows, but it definitely has a tongue-in-cheek approach to things, and a dry sense of humor is usually present.To conclude, I can only say I really hope this is out on video somewhere. It's better than Goosebumps in every way imaginable, and more consistent than Are You Afraid of the Dark. And best of all, it won't induce an urge to puke, groan, or even roll your eyes.
