Season 1 Review: Hilarious, delightful and smart... "Eureka" may have the gumption to become the best sci-fi show since the late lamented “Farscape.” Read full review

Orlando SentinelHal Boedeker
Season 1 Review: Eureka is neither as charming as Northern Exposure nor as sinister as Twin Peaks. Whatever it lacks in originality, Eureka still represents an oasis in this reality-infested summer. Read full review

Season 4 Review: The people who create Eureka always seem to know how to add a few dabs of paint that no previous TV show covering time travel and electronic body transport had thought of. Read full review

Philadelphia Daily NewsEllen Gray
Season 4 Review: Eureka remains my favorite of the two [the other is Warehouse 13], maybe because it seems to do a better job of integrating new characters - and viewers - even as it allows its writers to reset the show's reality as often as they choose. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineMatt Roush
Season 4 Review: Eureka also starts strong, with a time-travel misadventure on Founders' Day that sends Sheriff Jack Carter, his unrequited love interest Allison, Deputy Jo, uber-geek Fargo and town sage Henry back to a time when Eureka was still "Camp Eureka," a 1947 military facility only beginning to reveal its true purpose.

Season 1 Review: "Eureka" is clever paranormal escapism that sometimes teeters on the edge of whimsical excess. But that doesn't mean you won't find plenty of affable, oddball entertainment. Read full review

New York Daily NewsDavid Hinckley
Season 1 Review: "Eureka" is the sort of show that makes you want to see more of almost every supporting player - and, of course, of the show itself. Read full review

Season 4 Review: In its fourth season, Eureka seems in no danger of losing its gossamer charm. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Even though broader does mean more conventional, conventional these days is underrated. Read full review

Season 1 Review: There's warmth and wit there, along with not a little magic. Read full review

Chicago TribuneMaureen Ryan
Season 4 Review: I tend not to watch it after the first few episodes of each season, because it tends to travel somewhat repetitive storytelling roads (i.e., every week, science goes awry, then science is used to fix what went awry)....I like the implications of that bigger arc, which promises more depth, which Eureka needs.
