One of the many advantages of not producing children and living far away from your relatives when their kiddies are small: you miss out on this genre.
As George Burns said: "Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city." :D

Eureka !?!

Postby eberntson » Tue Aug 15, 2006 10:21 am

Well I am ignorant of Eureka since I gave up cable about a year ago, so I could pursue other things. However, the next time I'm some place with cable I'll check it out.
Gailr is right though if it is a good show with potential it will be can'd ASAP, they won't even let a market develop for it. Just like Babylon 5, which developed a following despite the network changing its show time every 2 weeks for years. Now there was a series that went strange, to bad the spin-off never took off either. I like the Space Range concept, visit strange dead worlds and let you crew get eaten.

Eureka is quite entertaining so far. This dooms it to one of three disturbing fates:
1) market "failure" and abrupt cancellation in 2nd season / replacement with a heartwarming series featuring pathologically stupid yet lovable adults and smart-mouthed yet undisciplined kids;
2) market "success" and a rash of Eurekaesque knockoffs on every channel, each one more tragic than the last;
3) the series lasts for 10+ years, getting stranger (and not in a good way) each season, until we could care less [sic] what happens.

Gailr, you took the words right out of my head, I would have said mouth, but if it were my mouth, then I would have the wherewithal to have worded it myself to begin with. Things get scrambled from brian to fingers sometimes. :roll: I am surprised to see this many people like watching Eureka. Usualy, If I like it, it's fate is doomed. Eureka reminds me of a George Burns quote, "I spent a year in that town, one Sunday." You know how things go around there, so who knows.

Mark;

Sci-fi is real if you wait long enough, haven’t you heard the theory that sci-fi is what is driving our technological development now. Eric
oh my I really hope it's not always true,
I'm reading "Cell" by Stephen King right now. Well it's not strictly sci-fi even though his books to movies Are shown on that network.
