Introductions

      Introductions of Eerie
    
      The voiceover that Marshall uses to give an introduction  of  the
      show  varies through the run of the series. For the first episode
      the introduction set up how Marshall came to Eerie and  a  little
      of  what he found there. For the second episode it gave some more
      on what Marshall found in Eerie. This was shortened somewhat  for
      the following episodes that used it. The show introductions are:
    
      1.  "To whom it may concern. If you're reading this document,  it
           means  I'm  either  dead  -  or disappeared under mysterious
           circumstances.  My name is Marshall Teller. Not long  ago  I
           was living in New Jersey just across the river from New York
           City. It was crowded, polluted, and full of crime.  I  loved
           it. But my parents wanted a better life for my sister and me
           - so we moved to a place so wholesome, so squeaky clean, you
           could  only  find it on TV.  Unfortunately, nothing could be
           further from the truth.  Sure,  my  new  home  town  *looks*
           normal  enough,  but  look  again.   What's  wrong with this
           picture? The American dream come true, right?  Wrong. Nobody
           believes  me,  but  this  is the center of weirdness for the
           entire planet. Eerie, Indiana. My home  sweet  home.   Still
           don't believe me? You will."
    
      2.  "Eerie, Indiana. Day 45. I knew my home town was going to  be
           different  from  where  I grew up in New Jersey, but this is
           ridiculous. Nobody believes me, but Eerie is the  center  of
           weirdness  for  the  entire  planet.  Item, a guy that looks
           suspiciously like Elvis lives  on  my  paper  route.   Item,
           Bigfoot  eats  out  of  my trash.  Item, a bizarre housewife
           cult in town has been sealing up their kids in giant  rubber
           kitchenware  so they don't age. And now, just when I thought
           things couldn't get any worse, I discovered that  in  Eerie,
           even  man's best friend is up to no good. When I try to tell
           this to my family, they just think I'm weird.  Better  weird
           than dead."
    
      3.  "My name is Marshall Teller. I knew  my  new  home  town  was
           going to be different from where I grew up in New Jersey but
           this is ridiculous.  Nobody believes me, but Eerie,  Indiana
           is  the  center  of  weirdness  for the entire planet. Item,
           Elvis lives on my paper route. Item, Bigfoot eats out of  my
           trash.  Item,  even man's best friend is weird.  Still don't
           believe me? You will."
    
      Some episodes had a short setup of the episode before  the  title
      credits  which  is  indicated  with a "S".  A dash "-" is used to
      indicate when no introduction or setup was given before the title
      sequence.
    
      The title/credits montage also exists in several  versions  which
      are denoted as (1), (a1), and (a2).
    
      In the guide which introduction and title  sequence  is  used  is
      given  as  (x.y)  where x is the introduction number and y is the
      title sequence number.
    
      Introductions of Characters and Places
    
      Marshall's family
    
          "That's my family. They're all too busy to see  what's  going
           on.  Mom just started her own party planning service down at
           the Eerie mall.  My  sister  Syndi  is  practicing  for  her
           driver's  test. Personally, I don't think anybody who spells
           `Cindy' S-y-n-d-i should  by  allowed  to  operate  a  motor
           vehicle.  Dad  works  for  Things,  Incorporated,  a product
           testing company. Dad's job is one of the  reasons  we  moved
           here.   Because - statistically speaking - Eerie is the most
           normal place in the entire country. Statistics lie."
    
      Simon
    
          "That's Simon, my next door neighbor. He's just a kid  but  I
           let  him hang out because his parents don't seem to want him
           around. He's the only friend I've made  since  moving  here.
           He's also the only one who believes me about Eerie."
    
      The original Radford
    
          "The World O' Stuff is run by  a  weird  guy  named  Radford.
           Every time I saw him he was in a different disguise. I can't
           prove it,  but  I  think  he's  in  the  witness  protection
           program."
    
      The new Radford
    
          "The weirdest thing happened down at The World O'  Stuff.  It
           turns  out  the reason Radford acted so weird was because he
           wasn't  really  Radford.   He  was  Fred  Suggs,  compulsive
           imposter.  Evidently, the *real* Radford had been tied up in
           the basement the whole time."
    
      The World O' Stuff
    
          "In New Jersey we had the usual convenience  stores.  We  had
           the  Stop  N' Snack, the Pig N' Go, even a Save N' Haul. But
           here in Eerie we've got the World O' Stuff, the  place  that
           invented one stop shopping."
    
      Dash X
    
          "See, three months  ago,  I  wake  up  here  in  Weirdsville,
           Indiana and I don't remember anything. How I got here. Who I
           am. Nothing. Zip. Zero.  Not even my own  name."  [...]  "No
           mom.  No  dad.  It's just me looking out for myself. I crash
           wherever I can and I dumpster dive for food."

      "Ever since moving here, I've been convinced  that  something  is

       here."
    
      Synopsis
    
      Young Marshall Teller intends to prove that  he  and  his  family
      have  moved  to  "the center of weirdness for the entire planet."
      He begins with a tale about odd  twins  whose  permanently  peppy
      mother   is   obsessed   with  selling  Foreverware  food-storage
      containers.

      "Even if I tell my parents, they won't believe me.  They'll  just

       and the fact that I'll look goofy don't have anything to do with
       why I don't want a retainer. It's dogs I'm worried about. It all
       started with a  guy  named  Steve  Konkolewski.  Steve  had  the
       biggest  teeth  in  the  7th  grade.  I mean we're talking major
       surfboards."
    
      Synopsis
    
      When a friend's retainer picks up  strange  vibrations,  Marshall
      smells  trouble, which leads him to believe that, in Eerie "man's
      best friend" really isn't at all.

      "Eerie Indiana, day 94. You wouldn't believe how easy  it  is  to
       lose  stuff here. I mean stuff that was there a minute ago would
       just vanish the moment you turn your  back.  Gone,  disappeared,
       lost  forever. I figure, Eerie is caught in some electromagnetic
       vortex that messes up the tracking system we humans use to  find
       stuff. Funny, but it seems to be hitting Dad the hardest."
    
      Synopsis
    
      A quest to find his father's lost briefcase leads  Marshall  into

       house  if  they  don't.  But here in Eerie things are different.
       There's no telling who or what you'll  bump  into  around  these
       parts. Simon and I had to be prepared for anything."

      "A sense of humor is a sign of intelligence. That's what  my  Dad
       says.   He also says sometimes Simon and I are too smart for our
       own good. We were just a couple of wise guys trying to have some

       always has a way of finding us."
    
      Synopsis

      "Death isn't exactly something I like to think  about.  But  ever
       since  I lost my goldfish Nosferatu in second grade I knew death
       was a part of life, and part of growing up. Thing  is,  here  in
       Eerie,  especially  in  Eerie, death and life - death, love, and
       growing up seem to be all kind of  mixed  up  sometimes.  So  it
       should  come  as  no  surprise that the first time I ever really
       kissed Melanie Monroe we were in the Eerie cemetery.  Too bad we
       weren't alone."
    
      Synopsis
    
      Marshall and a friend each want to win  the  heart  of  the  same

      Notes
    
      The fish was probably named after the 1922 German film Nosferatu.
      It  was one of the early vampire movies and was remade in 1979 as
      Nosferatu the Vampyre.

       they'd be Lord of the Flies. It was every customer for  himself.

          He purchased the bike at Knievel Bike Shop in New Jersey.
          The time of purchase was 2:12 pm on October 10, 1986.

      "It's easy to believe almost anything when you consider just  how
       big   the   universe   is.  It's  even  easier  to  believe  the
       unbelievable here in my little corner of  the  universe.  That's
       why  when  Professor  Nigel  Zircon  rolled  into  town with his
       traveling museum of the parabelievable, Simon  and  I  were  the
       first in line."
    
      Synopsis
    
      Marshall and Simon think they've finally found someone  who  will
      believe  them  -  a traveling professor of the "parabelievable" -
      but should they be believing him?

      "Back in New Jersey we had blizzards, the  occasional  hurricane,
       but  it  was Equal Opportunity weather. It went after everybody.
       But here in Eerie, Indiana, I couldn't  help  feeling  that  bad
       weather  was  after me personally. Especially tornados. Tornados
       are 200 mile an hour windstorms with minds  of  their  own.  But
       here  in  Eerie,  instead  of taking shelter in their basements,
       people celebrated something called Tornado Day."
    
      Synopsis
    
      Matt Frewer drops in as a wacky meteorologist whom Marshall helps
      battle  Tornado  Bob  during its annual visit to Eerie, which the
      town celebrates on Tornado Day.
    
      Notes
    
      This episode was day 139.
    
      Marshall and Simon were watching "Commando Cody" on TV.
    
      Howard  Raymer  worked  for  N.O.A.A.   (National   Oceanic   and
      Atmospheric  Administration)  as a meteorologist. His capsule was
      called the Tornado Rider.
    
      Syndi was Miss Tornado Days.

      Normal, Illinois.
    
      Simon's sweepstakes ticket was 103.  He  wrote  "Hasta  La  Vista
      BigBob" on the travel trailer.
    
      The street sign was Maple St. and 13th Ave.

      Initial episode introduction by Marshall
    
      "It seems like every town has a haunted house and a creepy  story
       that  goes  with  it. Kids all dare each other to go inside, but
       nobody ever does, because a friend-of-a-friend knows a guy  that
       went  in  -  and never came out. Every town has one, but here in
       Eerie, Simon and I have counted over  *50*  haunted  structures.
       Today we were checking out number 51."
    
      Synopsis
    
      Marshall and Simon are startled by a creepy kid who's crashed  in
      an  old  mill  that's  haunted by the ghost of Eerie's worst bank
      robber ever.
    
      Notes
    
      This was the episode where the Dash X character  first  appeared.
      He  did not have a name at first but was most commonly called Kid
      With the Grey Hair.  Some of the other things people  called  him
      include Kid With No Name, and Sneaky Kid With the Hair.  This was
      also the episode where the new Radford character entered.
    
      The mill was called the Hitchcock Mill.
    
      Grungy Bill's gun was "Betsy"
    
      Some things in World O' Stuff:
          Deep sea diving suit
          Giant Foreverware container holding regular sized Foreverware
          containers with sign: ForeverWare 50% Off
    
      There are apparently a number of different versions of the  Black
      Cow  drink  Marshall  and  Simon  ordered.  One from the Complete
      World Bartender's Guide says to pour 8 oz.  sarsaparilla  into  a
      tall  glass.  Add  2  oz.  vanilla ice cream and stir until well-
      blended.  Sarsaparilla is a soft drink flavored  with  the  dried
      roots  of  a tropical American plant (smilax).  Some folks in the
      rec.foods.cooking notes group said it is a  drink  consisting  of
      root  beer with vanilla ice cream. Others said it is a drink made
      of root beer and milk.
    
      Also mentioned in the notes group were similar drinks including a
      Brown  Cow  made  with vanilla ice cream and Coca Cola (R), a Red
      Angus made with vanilla ice cream and Birch Beer,  and  a  Purple
      Cow  made  with  strawberry  ice cream topped off by Black Cherry
      soda.

      Initial episode introduction by Marshall
    
      "I wasn't the only one who thought this Harvest King  hoopla  was
       for  the  birds. I hadn't seen that weird kid with the grey hair
       since our little adventure with the  ghost  of  Grungy  Bill.  I
       could tell he wasn't somebody to mess with. It seems we were the
       only two guys not buying lottery tickets.  Why  -  did  he  know
       something  I  didn't?   The Harvest King gets all sorts of dorky
       prizes, but then he must go out into the  woods  during  a  full
       moon  until  he  catches a glimpse of the mysterious Eerie Wolf.
       What I wanted to know was - how come there's no such thing as an
       ex-Harvest King?"
    
      Synopsis
    
      Trickery makes Marshall the new Harvest King, and  he  finds  the
      king's  traditional  task  no  treat:  he must venture to see the
      Eerie Wolf, which turns out to be a werewolf.
    
      Notes
    
      If the harvest king  sees  the  Eerie  Wolf,  Eerie  gets  a  big
      harvest, 13 years of good luck, and low taxes.

      "Sometimes it gets tough battling the forces of Eerie by  myself,
       even with a little help from Simon, but I always thought I could
       count on Mom and Dad for a  dose  of  normality.  But  then  Dad
       joined  The  Loyal  Order  of Corn, Eerie's version of the Moose
       Lodge, and started spending all his free time there which  drove
       Mom crazy. I'd never even noticed the place. It kind of makes me
       wonder what else I haven't noticed."
    
      Synopsis
    
      Something very strange pops up when Simon, Dash, and Marshall try
      to crack the inner sanctum of Eerie's odd and exclusive lodge.

      Initial episode introduction by Marshall
    
      "Back in Jersey, the Pit Bull Surfers were real popular with  all
       the  metalheads.   I  like 'em 'cause they're so dumb. Well, one
       day they finally hit Eerie.  Unfortunately, they hit  my  friend
       Tod  McNulty  the  hardest.   His family lost their farm about a
       year ago and his Dad was still out of work." [...] "I thought  a
       little  mindless  headbanging  music  would  cheer him up, maybe
       change his outlook.  I was only too right."
    
      Synopsis
    
      Marshall frets over a buddy who gets heavily into  a  heavy-metal
      music  band  as  a  release from a father who continually berates
      him. The father claims that the  music  has  corrupted  his  son,
      turning him into a noxious metal fiend.

      U.K. Broadcast Order
    
      Eerie was broadcast  in  the  U.K.  on  Channel  4  approximately
      between  6:30pm  and  7pm.   The  audience ratings in the U.K are
      given in millions of viewers.  These place most episodes  in  the
      20's  when  ranked  against  other  shows on this channel.  Since
      Channel 4 has a lower market share compared to some of the  other
      U.K. channels the show would probably be ranked about 200 against
      all shows on the U.K. channels.

Appendix E - Commercial Voiceovers

      Voiceovers by Marshall and others going to a commercial:
    
          "If Eerie's not  back  after  these  commercials,  alert  the
           people at the network."
          "Eerie, Indiana will be right back. I hope."
          "I predict... a commercial!"
          "Shhh!  It's our sponsors." [whispered]
          "I'll be right back. Don't you get lost, just yet."
          "It'll get  even  more  eerie  after  these  words  from  our
           sponsors."
          "Eerie, Indiana will be right back."
          "If we're not back after these commercials, alert the  people
           at the network."
          "We'll be right back. I hope."
          "It gets even weirder after this commercial break."
          "There's no telling what will happen after  these  commercial
           messages."
          "Ya know - it's the commercials that make  this  business  so
           rewarding."
          "I laughed. I cried. I went to a commercial."
          "And now a word from our sponsors."
    
      Voiceovers by Marshall and others on returning from a commercial:
    
          "Now back to the program"
          "We now return to Weirdness Central."
          "We now return to Eerie, Indiana."
          "Now back to Eerie, Indiana."
    
      Teaser  before  the  end  credits   of   Marshall's   Theory   of
      Believability
    
      Marshall: "Hi, while we're searching for proof that Eerie Indiana
                 is  weird,  some  of you have been searching for proof
