User Reviews

Not A Bad Show!

Infact, it was a very good show. One of my favorites. It's all about Marshall Teller who had once lived in New Jersey with his family, but they moved out to Indiana to get away from crime. But they had no clue that the place they moved to was weirder than anything Jersey had to offer.

Marshall has a friend, Simon, and everyday they seem to discover some odd goings-on. Like a young woman and her twin sons who have been young since the '60s all thanks to giant tupperware. Or the one where the chatacters have the middle name Bob. Or the one on Halloween when Marshall and Simon release a classic horror film star from the TV. There was also an optometrist who hypnotised kids. And let's not forget the one where Marshall realizes his whole life is a TV show! Omri Katz plays Marshall. You may know him from Hocus Pocus. Justin Shenkarow is Simon. He went on to do the voice of Glen Glenn the bully on Life With Louie and Harold on Hey Arnold! The show was remade in 1998 as Eerie, Indiana The Next Dimension which sucked the big one!! In the second season of Eerie, Indiana a new character was added: Dash X, played by Jason Marsden who voices Goofy's son, Max. So in conclusion, this was a pretty good show. I'd compare it to Goosebumps.
