Eerie, Indiana Audience Reviews

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Konterr Brilliant and touching
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
SnoopyStyle Marshall Teller (Omri Katz) thinks his new home of Eerie, Indiana is the center of weirdness for the entire planet. His father (Francis Guinan) moved the family from New Jersey for his job at Things Incorporated. Neither his mother (Mary-Margaret Humes) nor his older sister Syndi (Julie Condra) notice the weirdness. Only his friend Simon Holmes (Justin Shenkarow) sees it. Marshall keeps careful notes and evidences in his Museum of Weird.It's a short-lived TV show filled with fun ideas. It's an episodic Twilight Zone. The sardonic humor is all in the writing. The show does need a third to join Marshall and Simon to allow more fun interactions. Dash X comes in late in the season and provides them with an interesting relationship. A girl with the boys would be even more interesting. This is more of an one weird idea per week show. This is very imaginative and better than most kids TV shows. If the boys have a larger kiddie gang, that would make this even better.
Mark F after forgetting about Eerie Indiana for over twenty years, i accidentally stumbled onto it in you tube followed by a marathon EI session on "hulu". (they have ALL episodes of it along with that Other Dimension sequel). EI is just as awesome now as it was back in 1991.apart from Marshall using a public phone at start of Who's-Who and Simon using a brick cell phone in Reality Takes A Holiday, it has held up quite well. hardly dated at all.nothing is overdone. Marshall doesn't constantly talk about New Jersey. only mentions it once or twice (usually in opening monologue) to orient viewer towards episode. unlike a coworker of mine, it does not make you want ask "why don't you go back then?" one can watch EI on level of a fun, campy kids show with an age-appropriate level of mystery/spookiness. or one can catch some serious depth... onwards to the depth: Forevermore: families using 'kitchenware' to stay at same age since early 1960s. you mean this product would not become bigger than the internet if it were released today? Losers & Lost Hour episodes: both are great for initiating discussions about parallel universes & other dimensions. because, i think most of us can agree that in real life there more going on around us than what what's visible to our eyes.Dead Letter: just how much history there is floating about us? how many life stories that we don't even know about that have taken place in the very streets & even the very rooms we inhabit? literally, only God himself knows.Just Say 'NO' to Fun: brainwashing in schools. as Nurse Nancy said "we don't want imagination & courage; these days demand a certain... simplicity." ya think? further down, i talk about reality versus fantasy, but i think Nurse Nancy is real and prolifically cloned.Who's Who: from power of an Eerie #2 pencil to the power of our thoughts.No Brain No Pain: just what happens when a person 'loses their mind' ? if you connect with & talk to homeless people, if you get them to trust you, you will find that many of them have stories as worth listening to as that of Furnell.Zombies In PJs: humorous way to show dangers of credit. the bankers might or might not get to (re)possess our souls in real life, but they sure are brainwashing & enslaving people and entire nations just the same.Reality Takes A Holiday: to me, this is a disquieting episode. the cool thing about the rest of the show, like w any cool TV/movie is the idea that you immerse yourself into the place/people while watching and have a good time at it. if you like something enough, you wish you could visit that place & that you could hang out with the cool characters. this episode shatters that pretense.Marshall, who thought he was his own character, suddenly finds himself on the Eerie Indiana set in SoCal**. in his mind Marshall is still Marshall, while nobody else on the set is the Teller family. they are just a bunch of actors playing themselves in a most douche bag way. it irked me to see everyone -except Marshall, who can't understand why everyone is calling him Omri Katz (name of actor who plays Marshall)- and what happened to his 'real' Teller family.yes, it's disquieting, yet necessarily so. somehow i think everyone should see this episode for the sake of seeing that TV shows & movies are pretend/fantasy/make believe and that actors are not their characters.because i liked the show so much, it saddens me to forcibly reminded that the Tellers & Eerie Indiana only exist inside the minds of the scriptwriters and on film as brought to 'life' by actors & production crews. disquieting, but mega-educational. i'll show this to my kids whenever they start getting too wrapped up in anything on a screen.**SoCal: if you look at the intro trailer to each episode where it shows Marshall riding his bike in neighborhood) you can see a palm tree sticking up in the background scenery.Broken Record: i don't understand why this one never showed during the initial 1991-2 airing of EI. it was the best episode of them all. nice way to subtly demonstrate just how mega-important parents ultimately are to their offspring.DashX: someone else referred to this kid as the Eerie Indiana's "self destruct button". DX was a little annoying at times, in part because i liked EI & its characters as it was already. yet, i think it would have taken a maximum of one more season to fit DashX into the show better and reveal more about this shoplifting street kid who came from nowhere.more seasons? i wish. the good news? at least we didn't watch EI fall from greatness & turn into mediocre crap. it's only one season, but a worthy one season it was.
mschnabel-1 My family and I adored this show. It was such a shame it only lasted a short while. I really thought they had something different and unique. I remember running to the TV to watch the show, both the kids and adults of the house. You know it must have been good, since I still remember the show. I didn't remember the name until I saw it on an actors biography, but I've been describing the show for some time to people to see if anyone remembered the name. Apparently, not everyone saw the show (or remembered it). Maybe it was before its time. But now we're in a post X-files and Buffy the Vampire time, so they should try again. I know I'd watch it! i'd love it if they would even replay the episodes. Someone pick it up again!
DraginBallZ Yeah, I don't think I was even ten when this show came on, no, I was about 8, and I've never caught any reruns of it, but I still remember fondly that this one was good freakin' show! If you get the chance watch it.Oh, and like someone else said, the remake show from about five years ago, it didn't compare with this show at all in the least. Quite sad that it even had the same name.Another show, that's fairly good, that's on now, is Smallville. It reminds me of Eerie, Indiana, because Clark Kent(the young Superman) is always havin' to fight off weird people mutated by the meteors... It's good.
