Eerie, Indiana (NBC, 1991-92)
More first-person narration by a teen character, weird situations and creepy characters. Postmodern, 'anything goes' leader. Very cinematic, single-camera too. But it was a horror/thriller comedy, like 'The X-Files' or 'Twin Peaks' for kids.
Customer's comment on Amazon.com:
"Very much in X-Files territory for kiddies [although Eerie preceded that show by two years] plus a little 'Malcolm in the middle' type sitcom as well, this was an entertaining and 'different' series in its day (1991 to 1992)"
Episodes of Eerie, Indiana were directed by Joe Dante (the pilot shown here), director of the Gremlins movie, and ... frequent MITM directors Todd Holland and Ken Kwapis!
