froodle@UnrealKarl dude I NEED to know the story of Dash X. I have waited long enough. It’s time. Plenty of people will happily make a comic of it or something

Oh yeah Dash X! He was related to Ray Walston’s character who was an alien stranded in Eerie Indiana that was hypnotizing the town’s men into building his teletransporter back to his planet. https://t.co/pIWAjbFEHd

Michael Cassutt is a writer who has worked in several genres over the years. He is perhaps best known in science fiction circles as a television writer, penning episodes for shows such as Farscape, Stargate SG-1, and the late, lamented American version of Max Headroom (which was brought to us live, from “20 minutes into the future…”). He has also written several near-future science fiction books, set in the current space program. These include Tango Midnight, Missing Man, and Red Moon, about a murder investigation in the Russian space program during the height of the Moon race.

TSR: What authors have you found most inspirational? Who do you really admire in your various fields?
Cassutt: See the list of authors above for a start. I would add Greg Bear, Connie Willis, Philip K. Dick, Jack McDevitt, Allen Steele, Wilson Tucker, and Neal Stephenson. I’m a big fan of Robert Crais’ mystery novels.
More mainstream influences… Kurt Vonnegut, Gore Vidal, the often-neglected Sinclair Lewis, and my all-time favorite writer, Kingsley Amis.
In television, I am a big fan of two writers I’ve worked for, Karl Schaefer co-creator of Eerie, Indiana, and Ann Lewis Hamilton. I’ve long admired Steven Bochko and Dick Wolf as producers and writers.
Tom Wolfe has been a big influence on my non-fiction mind, and not just for The Right Stuff. David McCullough. James Oberg.

TSR: You’ve been involved in a lot of projects over the years. Which ones are you most proud of? Which ones were the most fun?
Cassutt: I’m very proud of the Who’s Who books as well as Deke! Also my historical space novel, Red Moon, and a couple of my short stories.
The most fun? Writing scripts for the Eerie, Indiana, television series. Not only did I get to work with people like John Astin and Ray Walston (heroes of my early TV watching days), but with directors like Joe Dante, Ken Kwapis and Bob Balaban. The tone of Eerie was perfectly suited to my twisted small-town sensibilities.
Max Headroom, of course, was another series that I was born to write, but the hours and schedule were on the brutal side. I enjoyed the results, but the process was a bit of a challenge.

Here’s a few more episodes of Eerie Indiana. In The Loyal Order of Corn, Marshall’s dad joins the Loyal Order of Corn, one of those American groups like the Moose Lodge or the Shriners.
The ‘Kernel’ of the group is Sean’s dad, John Astin.
Another familiar face, from a recent Star Trek TNG episode, is Ray Walston.
In Reality Takes a Holiday, Marshall finds a script for the episode he’s currently in.
Then things get really weird. Suddenly someone yells ‘CUT’ and there’s Joe Dante on set directing the action.
Worse is when he discovers his character is going to be killed off.
The next episode is The Broken Record. A young boy with an abusive father starts listening to the Pit Bull Surfers, and undergoes a transformation.
Weirdly, Marshall doesn’t seem very supportive. “They’re just a band, your father is your life.”
But the programme does manage a reconciliation between father and son.
This was the last episode in the series.

froodleMy Favorite Martian, Eerie Indiana, and Gravity Falls all part of the same universe?
I'm going to assume no one here knows about the TV series My Favorite Martian because it's even before my time. I first found out about it when the movie was made and my dad pointed out that it was a remake of an old TV series. While Christopher Lloyd played the Martian in the movie, there was a cameo in the movie from Ray Walston, the original actor who played the Martian. It was said in the movie that Ray Walston's character had been stranded on Earth since the 70's the time that the original series aired and he even worn the same space suit as he did in the series.
