1) Not really a classic!!!   [Rating: 3 out of 5]
I watched several of the Eerie, Indiana episodes with my kids when it first appeared on network television, and I must admit, I was impressed. Well, that was quite a few years ago. Being somewhat of a classic television show nut, I decided to purchase the series so I could watch the entire offering. I must say, I have mixed feelings about the show in retrospect. Some of the episodes were top notch ("Forever Ware", "The Losers", "Scariest Home Videos", "The Lost Hour", "Just Say No Fun", "No Brain, No Pain", "Reality Takes a Holiday") while others were somewhat disconcerting ("Broken Record", "Heart on a Chain", "The Dead Letter", "Who's Who").With some of the episodes, (the four previous mentioned especially) you weren't sure whether to laugh or feel sorry for what was happening to some of the characters. Some of the acting was very over done (the part of Simon in particular). Perhaps the most interesting thing about the show is to pay attention to what goes on in the background. Every once in a while you will see references to The Grim Reaper. Also, for some reason, a milk truck is a main focus from time-to-time.

2) eerie indiana   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
If anybody thinks they have been short changed with the region 2 version of EERIE INDIANA,then this seems not so, as the episodes which appear to be missing,Jackalope, Miss Perfect etc. are from a Canadian programme called EERIE INDIANA REVISITED, which has not been transfered to DVD. The region 1 version has the same number of episodes as region 2. Forteanfan

3) Eerie and awesome!   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
One of the best tv shows ever! Very funny and sometimes with cool twists that stick in my memory to this day. One of the few shows from this era that holds up and is still awesome to watch today! Can't wait until my kids are old enough to show this to!

4) WARNING!!   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
Be warned!! I think all interested buyers should be informed about the defect on one of the discs. On one episode on disc three right in the middle of the show it pauses, lags and skips. But other than that its a great buy even with the "Slaped together quickly with no care" feel too it. So i warn you! Ask your self how bad you want it because i wanted it badly but that one defect ruined it all for me but i wouldn't trade it for anything either, so be warned.

5) Still Fun!   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I was unsure about buying this DVD set since some other reviewers had said it was of such bad quality etc. However, I did buy it and I was very happy that I did as it was just as fun and entertaining as I remember it being when I was young and first watched it. The DVD is just the bare minimum, but that is really enough. The episodes look just like they did when they aired on tv to my eyes. The adventures are fun and would be slightly spooky to children. Even with out the ability to spook an older audience the stories are still fun to watch and the acting quality is good. Lots of interesting guest stars. A good buy for someone who watched the first time around or for parents looking for something different for their kids.
