I just upgraded my computer and Internet connection for the first time in about 8 years, and since I haven't watched broadcast TV in about that long, I'm catching up by streaming all those shows that I keep hearing about (and some that I haven't heard anybody talk about).

The latest one that I've fallen in love with is EUReKA.

Finally, a sci-fi show that actually has science in it!

I'm a really big fan of Maury Chaikin (Sheriff Cobb in the Pilot) from A Life Less Ordinary & The Art of War.

He really set the tone for this series in his low-key reactions to all the weirdness that transpires in this town...

I love when he tells Jo to call Henry and have him bring the towtruck around, but there's no answer.
A thunderous BOOM echoes across the landscape...
Sheriff Cobb: "Now he'll answer."
Jo picks up the phone again.

Then when Lojack (the phantom dog) saunters into Cobb's house...

"Hey, Lojack. If you're hungry there's plenty of leftovers in the fridge. Pudding... got some cheese, got some sauer kraut. But don't. Touch. My sandwich. Don't touch it! That's my sandwich!"

You're right about the story only getting better. And I can't be the only one who feels for Carter and his alternate reality memory, which is strikingly like Angel and Buffy's - I Will Remember You .

It is not those who use the term "Islamo-Fascism" who are sullying the name of Islam; it is the Islamo-Fascists. - Dennis Prager

Oh so love Eureka and I can't wait for it to be back... I hope those evil studios come to their senses, pay the writers properly, and offer an apology so that we can all get back to enjoying good shows

I too love this show. I remember hearing about it before the series premiered from a friend who described it as "The X files meets Northern Exposure" I swear I've read that in an interview or a review somewhere since. Anyway not sure if that's a good comparison but it hits the genre pretty well. I think this is one show that will be on Scifi for years to come. At least we know there will be something good on that channel besides the Stargate series -of which a second spinoff is very likely in the next couple years- and of course BSG but personally I don't care for it much. Well I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say I'm hoping for another great season sometime this year.

I absolutely adore Eureka. I've been a fan since the premiere. I warn you though, some of the science is suspect, like most shows, but at least they try.

Glad to see another fan. Over on the skiffy boards, there seems to be a crossover between Firefly and Eureka fans.

I have only seen season I. I'm anxiously awaiting Season II's release on DVD.

The science makes me crazy but the theme music makes up for it.
