You know they did compare Eerie, Indiana to Twin Peaks back when it first aired. "Twin Peaks" for kids" they said.
yes it is so much like that kind of stuff and I also compare it to the X-Files.
Sometimes i'm watching X-Files and the music is so much like EI. though two different composers did the music.
I believe Paul Buckmaster or someone similiar did EI music.
Mark Snow did music for X-Files.

I'm not sure about all of the references that Eerie makes to Twin Peaks, but I know there is a part of "Chaney" that makes a blatant reference.
Dash X (still unnamed at this point) wangs the wolfman Chaney over the head with a small log, and when Marshall and Simon exclaim something along the lines of "it's you!," Dash replies "Well, I'm not the Log Lady."

I never did get that line about what the "Log Lady" meant. Is that from Twin Peaks because I saw very few eps of it.

Yeh I remember the 'log lady' she used always be in the diner. she used to carry it around with her like it was a baby. I even think she spoke to it like, it told her secrets or something. She was a complete Wacko.

Harry Goaz is in both series. Deputy Andy Brennan in TP and the Sgt guy in Eerie. He's just like a darker version of Andy in Eerie.
Hmm i wonder if its even worth replying to a post thats 2 years old?

Trust me it is. I remember watching this show when I was younger and I absolutely loved it. Unfortunately, after it got canceled I completely forgot about it- mainly because I didn't have any of the episodes recorded and also from the distraction of "mainstream" television and film.
While browsing the internet yesterday I saw the DVD for sale and couldn't believe it. I'm now re-living my teen years again; watching all the episodes and reading about the show (stuff I wouldn't have cared about back when the show was originally on).

There are lots of references in Eerie Indiana to Twin Peaks! I will be writing a short article on it soon on my Twin Peaks site at twinpeaksarchive.blogspot.com

when I read what someone wrote in this thread about the Log Lady it reminded me of "Little Otik" by Jan Svankmajer . . . I guess Lynch was referencing that film . . . I never really watched the show.

While Eerie, Indiana was an awesome show, I'd hardly compare it to Twin Peaks.
Also, Twin Peaks was set in Washington, not North Dakota.

I love Hulu, and this show but because of Hulu I get to watch EI and experience the shows again with my son. He and I are Sci Fi fans and most of the shows I like back when I was younger he likes now.

The same ABC executive who brought us "Twin Peaks" was later the Hearst Entertainment executive who greenlighted and oversaw "Eerie, Indiana" (I worked with him on both shows).
