The Edison Twins (1982–1986) User Reviews

wholesome family fun, great lazy weekend afternoon TV filler

I couldn't believe no one had posted about this fantastic show. In the past few years shows like A-Team and Degrassi Junior High have made comebacks, it's time for this show now! I remember this show as a fun half hour show, normally played back to back in reruns. The lead actress to my pre-teen eyes was hot. I'd be curious to see if I feel the same way today...

The show was always entertaining and informative. When the kids got in trouble they used their heads ala MacGyver, to get out of trouble. The violence, when there, was subdued and never close to fatal.

The jock best friend of the nerdy twins made for a good humour. The little brother and his sidekick did get annoying at times.

I wouldn't buy this on DVD, but I would watch reruns for kicks and giggles though.

Perfect family series that is fun to watch anytime.

I can remember back in the 1980s I watched this show on Cable TV. And then it somehow disappeared. Ever since then I have had a craving to see it again. The show was about two teenagers who were really into science and they used their skills to solve mysteries. I really missed the show. Then I got a Roku streaming device and when I found this series I literally screamed with joy. I watch an episode every morning with my coffee. It's as good as I remember, plus I get to see my favorite character, Paul Edison played by the cutest child actor of all time Sunny Besen-Thrasher. I still love him after all these years. Sure wish I could tell him how much I loved seeing him in the show. If this was on DVD I would buy it in a second. I'm so happy I got a Roku streaming device. Everyone should have one.
