3) Paranormal rock mythology
Who isn’t a sucker for a demonic riff, or a guitar made of alien metal? Rock’s history is littered with weird myths and whispered legends, and Tom's history as a rock star is an awesome jumping-off point for some bizarre rock-oriented hijinks. Hopefully, at least one record will be foolishly played backwards on this show.
4) A bunch of nerdy Easter eggs
Strange Times sounds like it’ll be part of a long, classic legacy of kids’ paranormal TV, and we’re here for that. If there isn’t at least one Gravity Falls reference in the first season, we’ll be pretty bummed.
5) A really cool Halloween episode
Along the lines of the previous entry, paranormal kids’ shows usually have the best Halloween episodes, and Strange Times sounds like a series tailor-made for an awesome spectacle come October. Whether it goes old-school horror tributes a la The Simpsons or weird original evil like Stranger Things, we’ll just have to guess.
