Hmmm... the smart-alec kid (Matthew, played by Justin Sherenkov (sp?)) is
one of my favorite parts of the show.  I guess there can be a fine line 
between over-acting and just doing a well-defined character, but I think
he pulls it off.

The character is very similar to the one on "Eerie, Indiana", in terms of
his twist for interpreting things in a bizarre way.  I can see why they
selected that actor for the role.

(I loved the way he took on the Nun in the first episode...)

I don't really dislike any of the other characters in the show.  I've 
always liked Tom Skerritt -- it seems he's constantly showing up as
a guest star in the early-60's shows I like to watch.
