SUMMARY

Marshall Teller and his family moves to Eerie, Indiana, the centre of weirdness for the universe. Marshall soon finds that one of his neighbours is Elvis Presley, that Tupperware has strange properties in the town, that he can sometimes be drawn into television shows or movies and that the local mill is haunted.

CAPSULE REVIEW

An excellent though tragically short-lived slice of weirdness that brought wonderful surrealism to kids TV. That it lasted just 19 episodes suggests that it was ahead of its time and certainly it seems to have retained a lot of fans with fond memories. A great example of just what small screen fantasy can really achieve when the right people are given free rein.
