Anyone remember this show? I’ve been rewatching it on [youtube.com](http://youtube.com). Though actually I didn’t watch it all that much as a kid. I remember a few eps, but mostly my brother watched it. It was a lot of fun. Very Twilight Zone for younger kids, but it holds up pretty well. Foreverware! ---

I loved it! I was about 10-11 when it first aired, and it was right up my alley. Still is, really. I remember the Foreverware episode quite fondly. ---

I only remember the Daylight Saving Time episode. Very Twilight Zone-y. ---

I saw it when it was first out (and in prime time). Just a great show. “Reality Takes a Holiday” is one of my favorite TV episodes of all time (written by Vance Degeneris, Ellen’s brother). The networks loved it. The Saturday morning run was one of the few times a network took an old series from another network to run as programming. Great show. ---

Can anyone name the show from the (late 90s?) early 2000s where the setting was in a high school boarding house, and there was some mysterious science lab nearby doing weird stuff? One of the kids’ dad was the CEO or something. I racking my brain, and can’t think of it. It’s right on the tip of my tongue… ---

I loved it. I loved the similar Australian show “Round The Twist” too. ---

Just a few months ago I watched a load of Eerie Indiana on a website that had every episode uploaded (I presume I can’t say the name of that site here). It’s nice to see that a show you enjoyed as a kid is as good as you remember. ---

Well, are we allowed to say youtube? Because that’s where I’ve been watching it, and I assume youtube is pretty legit. ---

> [@sideshowkar](#): > > Strange Days at Blake Holsey High? It’s on the Discovery Kids channel. Definitely. In Canada it’s called “Black Hole High,” if that helps find it. Not on DVD yet that I know of, though. But Eerie, Indiana **is** on DVD. I bought it a couple of years ago. ---

One thing I like about the show is that the kid actors are pretty good. They’re cute without being cloying and they’re also pretty funny. The kid who plays Simon, I feel like I’ve seen him in something else but I don’t recognize any of his other credits on IMDb. It’s also weird that I had a crush on Omri Katz back when I was younger and he was older than me, but now I’m older than he was when he was on Eerie, Indiana. Creepy! ---

I also liked ‘Reality Takes a Holiday’, where everyone is calling Marshall ‘Omri’, and his home is a film set. Then he reads the script, where it says he will be killed off. ---

> [@Chimera](#): > > That’s what I came to comment on. The only plot/show I distinctly remember. Likewise here…I remember the Foreverware lady keeping her sons young by making them sleep in the Foreverware boxes. I do recall enjoying the show, and figuring it was too weird to last long. I was right. ☹ ---

I saw the Lost Hour last night. Love that episode…and LOVE that Marshall winds up as an old milkman patrolling Eerie, Indiana. Old Marshall was the best.
