Taken from Digital Spy.

Has anyone seen this yet?

I liked it, ok it's not going to be my fav show ever, but it was fun and the pilot made me want to keep watching :thumbsup:

I think it starts on Sky One this wednesday :D

I haven't seen it but it looked ok and I'm gonna give it a go.

Has it been cancelled yet? ;)

It's on Sci-Fi so it may have a decent chance of survival.

I've watched the first couple of episodes. It's alright. Not brilliant, but not bad either. Did just about enough to keep me watching so far.

It's in my programme planner to record :thumbsup:

The advert for it looked promising. :thumbsup:

My tv guide describes it as a cross between Northern Exposure and Twin Peaks :thumbsup: Although I note it's actually called A Town Called Eureka in the trailers :unsure:

Echoes of when the Beeb changed Roswell to Roswell High :rolleyes:

I'd agree with the Northern Exposure/Twin Peaks reference, but it's got elements of The X Files and The Outer Limits thrown in there as well.

I found it mildly amusing, but made the mistake of watching it "live" on Sky so had to sit through endless ad breaks which made it all a bit :sleeping:

I enjoyed it - thought it was light, entertaining stuff. :thumbsup: Hope they keep up the level of special effects, it looked like they spent some money on them. :)

I liked it too :thumbsup: Looks like it could be a lot of fun :lol:

I thought it was great and had a few surprises in terms of actors, that bloke who was in Terminator 2 and in Smallville as some professor bloke (sorry haven't seen past season 2 Smallville and plan to rewatch 1-2 and watch 3 and 4 on DVD).

Also that bloke from Ally Mcbeal, the head honcho. Overall I thought it was quirky, funny and with some drama. I think really it is more of a comedy than a drama so I don't expect some serious show in the next few weeks, just something which is a bit of fun.

Thought it was ok but nothing special.

Did they actually explain how the little boy knew how to complete the formula ? And did they refer back to the fact that the US Marshall & his daughter pasted themselves at the start ? Either I wasn't concentrating ( which is highly likely :rolleyes: )or it wasn't that tightly scripted. :shrug:

I'm hoping this series will do really well, I've watched the first 4 eps and so its shapeing up quite nicely. I've noticed quite a lot of people that have been guests on stargate sg1.

Like who???

I sometimes think I must watch these things with my eyes closed :lol:

Well the big guy that played the Sherriff in ep1 played the goa'uld who liked his food....(Bacchus...? long time since I've seen the ep)

If there was an explanation for that I missed it too...........

Only 2 episodes in but I'm really enjoying this so far :thumbsup:

I want a SARAH house :wub: (Only one that doesn't get into a strop when I'm late home for dinner :lmao: )

Found THESE :ponder:

Except that the webisodes don`t seem available from a UK location. <_< There are boards and other stuff though. :)

As for people from other shows...we also had 'Max Headroom' playing the hunter chappie, in Episode 1........ :rolleyes:

Ok...finally got around to watching last weeks ep....the memory loss one.....

Not a bad story, but, was it just me or was this weeks lacking the humour of the previous eps....? :ponder: :shrug:

Scary thing is I'm sure I've seen recently that the U.S military have actually been trying to develop something along those lines.......a bit like an EMP takes out electrical equipment, one pulse over enemy troops wouldnt kill them, but would make them unable to remember how to operate complicated modern weapons systems.

Nice to see the Eureka sheriff’s department is getting some of the technology, Doom games had a BFG (Big F***ing Gun), the Eureka sheriff’s department has gone one better with a BMFG in the gun rack ? :rolleyes:

Ok...now we are getting silly ammounts of ex SG1 actors appearing in Eureka....... :o :no:

Anyone else notice the Buffy referances in the last two eps.......

Two weeks ago Jack threatened to let Fargo's colleagues know he had a Sarah Michelle Gellar doll in his desk.....

And last week, when Fargo was explaining the brain/computer interface to Stark he said something about.....'It takes a while to tune into your brain and what you want to see....when I was first testing it, it kept connecting me to Buffy fan sites'....

SCI FI Channel has ordered a 13-episode second season of its hit original series Eureka, which aired its first-season finale on Oct. 3, the network announced

Only 13 episodes...... :o :(

There are only 12 this season ;)

Next week has two eps to finish, starting at 8pm. :)

I know......But I was hoping for it to get a full 22ep run for its second series..... :(

Oh well, at least it hasnt been cancelled.....................yet... :ermm:

I see a new item that says EUREKA has been renewed for a second season. Evidently, it gets good audience numbers. I haven't seen it since it's on a cable channel I don't get. And those cable channels usually have only 13 episodes a season -- probably all their budgets can afford.

Sci-Fi in particular have tended to go down the '20 episodes per season' route over the past couple of years with shows like SG1, Atlantis and BSG.

I'm quite surprised that they haven't given Eureka a 20 episode run next season, given that they've cancelled SG1. Although, don't Sci-Fi have another new show next season, The Dresden Files?

I'm catching up on this show now as I missed most weeks on sky, it's growing on me although we've seen most of the themes before X Files, Outer Limits etc the quirky characters make it fun to watch :)

I thought it was good, not the best thing on tv but quite enjoyable. :)

There is a new show called DRESDEN FILES on this lineup, James. And one called THE LOST ROOM. I also see that they've bought up rights to rebroadcast THRESHOLD and the new DR WHO. So they're still spending money.

I wonder how the cable channel will fare with the major networks finding some success in the genre. :ponder:

I'd imagine it's a lot cheaper to buy the rights to broadcast a particular show rather than fund its production. It's still a far cry from Sci-Fi's pre SG1/Farscape days.

Up until recently Sci-Fi's success in the field has been very much built around its space borne/themed shows; Farscape, SG1, Atlantis, BSG. With Eureka, and soon Dresden Files, it looks to be moving away from this slightly, into areas of sci-fi that are already covered by both other cable networks, and the main players.

Although Eureka's got pretty good numbers this season I'm not so sure this is a great idea on their part. Thus far they've filled a niche in the market, going forward that might not necessarily be the case soon.

Thoroughly enjoyed the final 2 episodes :thumbsup: This whole show has been great fun to watch :D
