Marshall loves his polluted New Jersey home; it seems like he can have a new adventure there every day. So when he finds out he'll be moving to the picture-perfect town of Eerie, he is pretty mad. Soon though he makes friends, starting with an ignored ten-year-old (Simon). The pair are extreme with investigating Eerie's bizarre events, and viewers are taken on their adventures, some hilarious, some dramatic and some scary. They make all sorts of friends, like two twin 7th graders who are actually in their thirties and need help stopping their mom's powers, an amnesiac teenage kid named Dash X with no family, a long black trench coat and an extreme case of kleptomania, a tornado explorer who gets stranded, a convenience store owner named Radford, a girl whose wishful imaginary worlds can become real and a girl who has a heart transplant and then becomes possessed. However they make a few enemies as well, like a werewolf, a housewife who can preserve human life in Tupperware-like containers (played by Louan Gideon, also the actress who played the corrupt CEO Danielle Atron on The Secret World of Alex Mack), a desperate ghost with a letter to deliver and a woman with a gun named Unice who makes a deal with Dash X that gets him stuck with her. Marshall has a bizarre family; his sister Syndi is a bimbo, his mom is very enthusiastic and runs a party store and his dad is a product tester at a laboratory. They are a big embarrassment to Marshall. in one episode he invites a girl over and while they are about to kiss, his family invades with a camera and cookies, and he remarks, "guys, this isn't Happy Days!" Some of the characters seem cold and annoying at first but turn out different. Dash X at first just seems like a runaway with an evil mind, but he turns out to be just a sad kid who can't find his family or even remember if he had one, and he occasionally joins Marshall and Simon in investigations, rescuing them from strange events. In the episode 'the Loyal Order of Corn' it mentions that he might not be a human at all, but a mutant or alien abandoned by others of his kind. Radford runs the town general store, the World of Stuff, which sells literally ANYTHING you could ask for. Eerie turns out to be far from a boring little town, and Marshall slowly comes to love it.
I first saw this show back in Grade 6, I always wished they'd continued it or at least remade it with the same characters. They created Eerie Indiana the Other Dimension, but it wasn't very good and had none of the original characters. One thing I always wondered was why Dash X's past was never explained, they never seemed to talk much of it throughout the show, nor did any of the adults ever try to figure out who he was. I'm surprised no one called CPS to come get him. Another thing I always wondered was why Simon's parents were never around and why they hated their kid; they're pretty neglectful to him. God, where is CPS in this show!? I love the soundtrack and acting, I wish the soundtrack was available on a CD. This show was highly similar to Disney's So Weird (1990's).
