My favorite episodes are "Foreverware", "Heart on a Chain", "The Dead Letter" and "Broken Record". Foreverware is so very Stepford Wives and I have a love for that sort of thing. I like Heart on a Chain because of the romance, that's very intense for junior high kids, I might say. The Dead Letter's good because of Tobey Maguire and its romantic value. And Broken Record I think is the creepiest of all the episodes. It's haunting to me that the very last scene in the series is Simon singing "We've Only Just Begun".

My favourite episode is Just Say No Fun.
It's an episode I've never forgotten. I thought it was a marvellous idea, having a school optician brainwashing the students into model pupils with the eye tests she gives. Cracking.
Reality Takes a Holiday gets second place. So ahead of it's time. I just wish Joe Dante had actually directed the episode. It would have given it even more resonance.
A lot of people dislike Scariest Home Movies but I think it's great fun. Not to mention clever that the mummy that comes out of the TV is only an actor.
The Lost Hour is creepy beyond all measure, and actually makes me thankful we don't live in Eerie that forbids you from putting your clocks ahead.
I have great affection for the ATM machine because Mr Wilson was a genuinely sympathetic character. I felt really sorry for him in the end.
The Losers is more interesting than entertaining, so now we have an explanation of where things go to when we can't find them.
The Dead Letter is notable because it features a young Tobey Maguire, and a very surreal dream sequence that was like something out of Pee-wee's Big Adventure. Pity it didn't do them more often.
The only episode I really hate with a passion is No Brain, No Pain. The episode feels so lazy and stupid, and was the only episode of Eerie Indiana that got me bored.
Apart from that, a brilliant series. -

My absolute favorite episode is
- Scariest Home Videos
followed by 2. Forever Ware
However I love all episodes and the entire show and really wish it had more seasons, when I found out it was on DVD I had to buy it! p.s. I did voice over work for a couple episodes and I was the witch (or whatever she was) girl's voice in Scariest Home Videos when Marshall and Simon are fighting outside the house, but I really do love the episode for it's plot.

Fav's.
Loyal Order of Corn
Reality Takes a Holiday
I really wish that Heart on a Chain was made later when Dash X could have been in it.
When I was younger I hated that episode because I had such a crush on Marshall. -

I agree, the ones with Dash rule! Fave - Reality takes a Holiday, and the one with Mr Chaney, and ummm,, umm,, Foreverware, least fave is the Heart on a Chain (only cuz Omri kisses a girl and I was jealous as a teenage girl!)
Whatever you tell me, its gone in three, c'est la vie! -

I just did this weird thing where I watched each episode of the series and then rated it on a seven-category scale. The categories were Story Writing, Character Writing, Acting, Quintessence, Originality, Weirdness and Guests. (The last can be interpreted as "casting".) I'm currently doing the same thing for the original Twilight Zone. Each episode was given a rating in each category in increments of .5 from zero to 10, and an average was made at the end. The following is the ranking of each episode, and I think you'll be both surprised and angry because I rated certain episodes that were the most famous lower than you would have liked, and certain ones that not many liked higher. But this is my list, and I'm sticking to it.
1: The Lost Hour
2: No Brain, No Pain
3: Zombies in PJs
4: Foreverware
5: The Losers
6: The Dead Letter
7: The Hole in the Head Gang
8: Just Say No Fun
9: The Loyal Order of Corn
10: Tornado Days
11: Reality Takes a Holiday
12: Marshall's Theory of Believability
13: Mr. Chaney
14: Broken Record
15: Heart on a Chain
16: The Retainer
17: Who's Who
18: ATM With a Heart of Gold
19: America's Scariest Home Videos
As always, comments appreciated. Feel free to vent- I'm looking forward to it.

Hmm I love the ones with Dash. Hehe he was awsome! One fave is impossible couse it was so many good ones. I liked Mr. Chaney alot and The Hole in The Head Gang. The Royal Order of Corn must be the best Dash episode though. The second episode, with the dogs were pretty cool and creepy!
