Sunday Night Cult TV

I have a new Sunday line-up starting tonight which begins with an episode of Eerie, Indiana (1991-1992), followed by Werewolf (1987-1988) and The Hitchhiker(1983-1987; 1989-1991).

He had taken old VHS recordings from NBC (he actually had the shows recorded from the very night they aired, kept them in a cabinet) moving them to DVD.

Many of these shows had a niche audience, but they just were a bit too off-the-wall for mainstream tastes. Still I think there’s a built in cult audience just waiting to find this odd little show and give it a chance. Many will feel rewarded, I imagine.
