    Don't listen to the critcs. This show has become one of my favorite shows of all time. There is just something about it that keeps me drawn into it. And its a major plus that the main character is very likable and draws a contrast between the town and himself.

    One of the better shows on TV a.t.m. It has an interesting plot, but at the same time doesn't take itself too seriously. The blend of intrigue, comedy and sci-fi elements make it a really enjoyable watch

    Love it! I can't wait until the next season. After dumping Farscape, SciFi has redeemed itself by giving me Eureka.

    I love this show for its originality, for its wit, and for its highbrow humor. The one-liners are just to die for - I look forward to them every week! Great writing as well as excellent exposure to real scientific concepts are why I tune in. Phenomenal show!

    Lots of wit and quirky characters. Even when the science falls short, remains a smart show.

    I love this show. Enjoyable episode per episode but best once you get to know the quirky, yet well developed characters. I hope this show stays for a while.

    Amusing, a little confusing at times, but there are enough literate allusions to keep the riffraff from taking over the fan clubs.

    What a great balance between sci-fi and comedy. I won't miss an episode of that show.

    I agree with another reviewer that this is not on par with Battlestart Galactica, but it is a ton of fun! Kind of like MIB, but not so over the top.

    I like "Eureka". I like seeing all the interesting new gadgets and things the scientists make. Also, the sheriff always has witty things to say about everything--but in a good way.

    I love this show. My Wife loves this show. She got me started on this sci-fi stuff with SG-1. Eureka is funny, laid back and for an hour per week of my life I can get lost in it and not worry about anything but when the next episode will appear. Did I say, "I love this show," already?

    Started off slow, but I was hooked by the end. Hopefully this show will be consistantly good from now on.

    Maybe not on the same Sci-Fi scale as the Stargates and Battlestar Galactica but it still is very humerous and fun to watch.

    This show has me watching SciFi channel for the very first time ever! Eureka has earned a TiVo season pass in our family. Hooray for some great summer TV entertainment.

    Interesting show. Being in astrophysics myself there are plenty of eye rolling moments. You need to watch it and make up your own mind.

    With its population of must-love oddballs, the series drowns its cool sci-fi concept in a flood of "Northern Exposure" quaintness.
  2. Even though broader does mean more conventional, conventional these days is underrated.

    "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.
