Favorite Episodes?


Using a highly "scientific" rating system, I rated all the episodes of "Eerie" out of 10. I found out that "The Lost Hour" is the best episode, with a rating of 9.6/10; and I found out that "America's Scariest Home Videos" was the worst with a rating of 5.3/10. The episodes with the best acting were "Reality Takes a Holiday", "Zombies in PJ's" and "Broken Record." The highest emotional resonance in an episode was "The Dead Letter" and the funniest episodes were "No Brain, No Pain" and "Foreverware." Any comments? Post 'em. Let me know your faves.

My absolute favorite episode is

1. 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.

reply

My favorite episodes are the ones with Dash in them, but out of those "The Loyal Order of Corn" is definitely my most favorite.

reply

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!

reply

I hated the episode Who's who, cause if you had a sister you didn't get on with, she wanted a magic pencil and would have loved to embarrass you like the girl did in that episode to her brother Bob bob.

The Lost Hour
Marshall's Theory of Believability (a.k.a. Professor Hill)

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!

reply

My most favorite episode was The Lost Hour, very entertaining and probably was the best in the whole series. Shame those idiots cancelled it, it had a lot of potentional.

reply

The very first episode, Forever ware.

reply

I loved the episode Who’s Who…most of the girls I knew wanted to buy a pencil like that so they could get back at annoying guys around them!

reply

I'm not a huge fan of later Dash X episodes, except Reality Takes a Holiday, I thought they were more silly than eerie, but I still like them.
My favorites are The Lost Hour, Heart On a Chain, Reality Takes a Holiday The Dead Letter and Who's Who, for some reason. But there's no episode of Eerie I disliked, maybe just Marshall's Theory of believability would fall close to that.

reply

My favorite is "Broken Record" for much the same reason that one of my favorite Twilight Zone episodes is "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street." Weirdness was contained to the show, message was not.

I also like "The Lost Hour," "Reality Takes a Holiday," and "Foreverware." I openly don't like "America's Scariest Home Videos" and I actually can't remember "Marshall's Theory of Believability" and I own the show on DVD.

The emotional episodes are somewhere in the middle for me. I like them more than most things on television, they just aren't my favorite episodes of the show.

reply

Scariest Home Videos went for more humor and chose to be different and not to make a scary Halloween story, although it was a great opportunity. I cant say I dislike it, I liked Boris von Orloff (Tony Jay)

Broken record's not really my favorite, it was more about parental abuse than anything else. I felt sorry for Todd in that one.

Marshall's Theory... was about a phony Professor coming to Eerie who specialized in the supernatural. Marshall and Simon wanted to see him badly and show him their evidence, but Marshall's dad was suspicious of him.

They eventually talked to him about the Bigfoot footprint they found or something like that .Have you noticed that Bigfoot is even shown in the opening credits but here's no actual Bigfoot episode?

In the end it turns out the professor was trying to fool everyone with a fake alien ship, but the one Marshall and Simon see is actually a REAL one and they take a photo of it, but it's not clear.

"The Losers" and "Just Say No Fun" could've been better, they're not bad but had more potential.
I wish they had done two-part episodes, that would've been interesting, although we sort of got that after Dash X came along, the episodes were loosely connected.

I've changed my opinion on Dash X episodes after seeing them again, they're actually pretty good and can stand up against the early episodes.
