Truly awful but one singular gem
This is a terrible show, not worth reviewing. The worst of the worst was "I'm Okay, You're Really Weird," which goes against the theme of Eerie, Indiana with a message that one needs to grow up by giving up all childish things. This is essentially a children's show. What are they thinking?
And on top of that, it feels like they were making fun of a villain who is established as brain damaged, with a metal plate in his head that picks up radio stations.
On the other hand, the one good episode is "Perfect" which should play well with the child audience. It features the older sister more prominently and has a good message. Even has a nice "Twilight Zone" vibe.
But generally speaking, this is a pale shadow of the original series, underwrites all the grownups and fails to flesh out the townspeople as they are more cartoonish than the originals, making it hard to take any of this seriously --even as a children's show.
