Eureka is a Sci Fi Channel Series about a scientific community peopled by super-geniuses whose task it is to do pure research. To keep the cast small everyone in Eureka seems to multi-task. Henry Deacon is a quantum physicist inventor who, in his spare time acts as town mechanic, coroner, utilities repair man. Dr. Beverly Barlowe runs the local bed and breakfast but just happens to be the town psychiatrist on the side.
To keep all these absent-minded professors out of trouble add Sheriff Jack Carter who just happens to take a wrong turn into this happy community with his rebellious daughter fresh from a messy divorce. Fargo, the local high-tech geek sets him up in an underground bunker which houses a home that is every bachelor’s wet dream. Run by an artificial intelligence entity called S.A.R.A.H. it anticipates his every need supplying cold beer on tap, meals, laundry, fireplace, music, wakeup calls, everything his heart desires.
The series ends up being not so much about the scientists who live in Eureka but the Sheriff who attempts to keep law and order in a berg peopled by mad scientists and his female deputy who was passed over for the position of sheriff. It is yet another production shot in the Vancouver BC area subbing for a town in the Pacific North-West. The series gets at least four out of five super-novas the one negative being the fancy new packaging it came in that didn’t survive shipping via Canada Post—at least the DVD’s weren’t damaged.
