The more I think about the television programmes that I used to watch as a child, the more that come floating back into my memory…some are, thankfully, alive and kicking online thanks to those who kept endless hours of videotapes and have since uploaded them to YouTube. I am one of those who has endless hours of videotapes but, as yet, haven’t progressed to uploading any…but there’s plenty of time for that. We have other matters to contend with! Marshall Teller’s family moves to the small country town of Eerie, Indiana (Pop. 16,661). There, Marshall discovers that Eerie, as he puts it, “is the center of weirdness for the universe”. Elvis lives there, so do a pair of twins who stay young by sleeping in Tupperware, and many other strange things. Each episode, Marshall and his friend Simon collect evidence about the creepy things that happen there. This harks back to the days of the great anthology series’ The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits where the odd and bizarre exist in an element of reality. Omri Katz and Justin Shenkarow are superb as the two leads in this offbeat kids show that isn’t just for kids!
