Summary: What a tragedy this show never found an audience
Review: This really was one of my favorite shows of the era. When TV was reaching new depths of stupidity, Eerie was a rare breath of fresh air. Although the acting produced a few groans from time to time, the writing was sharp and clever and that's far more than you can say about most of the programming that season. This is an absolute bargain DVD. Watch it over and over to catch the nuanced writing!

Review: This was one of my favorite television shows as a kid. It was
so original, so fun. The book series is great, too. I would highly recommend this to anyone who likes "So Weird", "The X-Files", "Goosebumps", "The Twilight Zone", or anything like that.

Summary: One of my favorite shows as a kid
Review: When I was a kid I watched this series. Unfortunately it was pretty short lived, running only about 10 episodes. Two episodes in particular stuck with me ever after I grew up, Forever Ware, and one about a girl who would draw and whatever she signed would come to life and actually be. The second episode isn't on this disk, but the first one is.Forever Ware is a creepy concept, as is most of these episodes. In it, a woman who sells forever ware guarantees that whatever you seal up in it will last, forever. So, after her husband dies she seals herself and her twin boys into it, keeping them the same age for many years. She encourages Simon's mother to sign up and purchase forever ware. Simon's afraid he'll end up like the twins, so he and Marshall find a way to keep his mom from buying forever ware. The other two on this disk aren't as good as forever ware, but they're not bad. In The Retainer, one of the kids in Eerie has a retainer that allows him to hear what dogs are thinking. This leads him, Simon and Marshall to the local pound, where the dogs have revolted against the dogcatcher and taken care of him, and then run the kid with the retainer off into the woods. In the ATM with a Heart of Gold, Simon's dad programs an ATM with a personality. When the only person who's nice to him is Marshall, the ATM begins to give Marshall money. The more money he gives Marshall, the poorer the citizens of Eerie get. Simon and Marshall figure out that money can't buy happiness and instead is causing people grief, so they return the money to the ATM, which causes it to have a nervous breakdown. When I was a kid I loved this series, I thought it was both creepy and interesting. Now that I'm an adult I still enjoyed seeing the episodes, but I don't find them as interesting as I did as a kid. I guess this was really was aimed more at kids.
