While most of a programming was light-hearted, there was also some quirkier—and, by child standards—darker fare. Eerie, Indiana, about a teen child named Marshall whose family moves to a eponymous tiny city and encounters weird people and events, gave me a ambience for The Twilight Zone and The X-Files. In one episode, Marshall competes with his schoolmate Devon for a affections of a new girl, Melanie. She’s available a heart transplant, and entertains both boys until Devon is killed in a automobile accident. Melanie gets his heart, then, strangely, starts behaving only like Devon.
