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.

braintumour4breakfast Having just rewatched the DVD boxset of this, a childhood (I was 10 when it originally aired.) favourite of mine, i can honestly say its as relevant and original as it was way back then. Like a junior Twin Peaks or X-Files this show has a dark surreal streak unlike anything seen in children's TV before or since. There are a plethora of great genre cameos (John Astin, Matt Frewer even a pre Spider-Man Tobey Maguire!) in among an already stellar cast. Its no surprise to find out that shlock/genius director Joe Dante (Gremlins, Innerspace, Burbs.) is involved as "Creative Consultant" and occasional episode director as his stamp of quirk is evident throughout the series. There are few downers in this 19 show series and it successfully manages to give depth to one of the most ridiculous premises of recent times. Easily enjoyable for both adults (I used to watch it on TV with my mum and dad!) and kids this is highly recommended.

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.

Jessie S (Jessie_Enchanted) Well I used to watch this show when I was a kid. And i can only say i wish Indiana was that weird. Its a pretty good series, good for pre teens... Wouldn't mind seeing an episode again it has been years..Omri KatZ was good in this series along with his sidekick Justin
