A lot of people have said that Eerie, Indiana was a kids version of the X-Files though in a lot of ways Eerie acted as a bridge between X-Files and Twin Peaks (which is said to have influenced X-Files)
-Eerie came out when Twin Peaks was still running, but ended before X-Files started
-Twin Peaks had one main detective, Eerie had a duo, X-Files had a duo
-Most of Twin Peaks dealt with one main case, Eerie had a different one every episode, X-Files had tons of different cases
-Twin Peaks and Eerie both dealt with phenomenon in seemingly ordinary small towns
-Twin Peaks and Eerie tried to look like the 1950's
-all shows dealt with mysterious charactersBob, Dash X, Cancer Man
anyone else care to comment on any other similarities

Perfect. I've never thought about it like that. I really like your explanation, especially considering my friends (when this first aired) used to call it a rip-off of Are You Afraid of the Dark & Goosebumps. Although to me, it always gave off a completely different vibe than Goosebumps, etc.
