I recently remembered it was a thing after watching a random Hallmark Christmas movie with the US marshal guy in it.

Does it stand up still, or am I better off looking for a different show?

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

I'd say so. Last seasons are pretty solid

Edit: I knew it was Eureka, did no one read the OP, it's just 2 sentences.

 

[CrimsonSquall]

Lmao I thought u were talking about Eureka Seven in the title

Add me too. What E7 instead!

 

[HolyCheck]

I'll let you know in a few months! I just bought the partner the box set for xmas, as neither of us knows anyone els who has watched it lol. So I am looking forward to the rewatch. it's a fun show.

 

[Chanser]

Loved the TV series, I'm sad they no longer make more.

 

[Magwik]

Eureka is a top tier sci-fi show. Do it.

 

[TyphoonStruggle]

Eureka was a pretty entertaining sci-fi show. Go for it.

 

[Figboy79]

I think so. I loved the first three seasons, and thought the last two were very good, but not as great as the first three. No regrets finishing the series. The season finale is damn good too.

 

[StrategyFan]

it's nothing special

i liked it, but will probably never rewatch it

you can probably get a good idea if you'll enjoy it after a few episodes. it's not about some awesome plot that takes multiple seasons of setup

A Town Called Eureka was a great little Sci Fi show. Not going to rock your world, but it was charming, had some nice characters, and did interesting things.

Definitely worth a watch, much like Warehouse 13. It's the comfort food of Sci-Fi.

Still salty to this day about the cancellation of Warehouse 13.

 

[darkwing-buck]

I should really watch this show again.

This isn't Eureka 7 thread

And I came here thinking it was about Eureka's Castle.

 

[Aztechnology]

It's a fun, generally light hearted show.

 

[jooso]

I remember really liking the first few seasons. Great characters and fun, lighthearted scifi. The show kind of lost its steam in the later seasons but I still would recommend it.

 

[DeadPhoenix]

I pretty much started watching the show one I realized Elisa Maza(from gargoyles) was a character. Glad I did. Though I never got around to checking out the first handful of episodes, I enjoyed what I saw.

 

[BlackLagoon]

Depends on your tastes I guess. It's pretty dumb and full of sci-fi clichés but the cast is decently entertaining. I think the worst parts of it was whenever they'd reference the real world instead of pretending they were their own little universe, since the technology they posses would radically reshape the world if existed (and was exclusively in American hands), not to mention they would presumably get proper scientific safety procedures in place thus eliminating 95% of the plots.

 

[firehawk12]

I started watching it after the "reboot" because of Warehouse 13 (or whatever they called it after they altered the timeline) and I think enjoyed it. I can't say I remember anything about it though.

 

[LeadenStride]

I see this thread isn't about the movie by Shinji Aoyama.

 

[DBT85]

Really enjoyed Eureka, couldn't abide the show set in the same universe, Warehouse 13.

 

[Oxirane]

I would also recommend the Eureka! science cartoons.

 

[firehawk12]

Oh I dunno, it was like campy X-files which was fun.

 

[Mendrox]

Add me too. What E7 instead!

m2 watch Eureka Seven, but no AO!

 

[Retsudo]

Yes it is op. It's silly at times, but well worth your time. I wish it had continued a bit longer, because nothing like it has appeared since.

 

[Charamiwa]

You should watch Shinji Aoyama's Eureka. That shit's a masterpiece.

 

[saunderez]

Loved the TV series, I'm sad they no longer make more.

Me too. Fun as hell. I recommend watching it in concert with Warehouse 13 because of the crossover episodes.

 

[teruterubozu]

I enjoyed the first few seasons. But the unrelenting campiness got old after awhile.

 

[Linkark07]

Add me to the list too.

 

[Johndoey]

Yeah definitely watch it it's just a fun light Sci-Fi show, can't go wrong with it.

 

[KHlover]

That show about the average guy being Sheriff in a town of geniuses? I liked it. Not the best show ever, but pretty solid nontheless.

 

[exmachina64]

I'm not really a fan, couldn't get into Eureka or Warehouse 13.

I'd say so. Last seasons are pretty solid

Edit: I knew it was Eureka, [b{did no one read the OP, it's just 2 sentences.[/b{

They never do.

 

[cereal_killerxx]

It's a fun show! The first 3 seasons are a fun problem of the week type dealio. The last two seasons of this show become much serialized and really shine though!

 

[Snowybreak]

I enjoyed the first few seasons. But the unrelenting campiness got old after awhile.

It also gets incredibly formulaic. The Christmas Special was a pretty good episode that went in a fun direction. Although one thing that always made me laugh was that you could always tell right away which non-character was gonna get killed off to kick-start the plot.

This is what has always deterred me from re-watching it. It's a good show, sometimes even a great one, but it's one that kind of thrives in a "one episode a week" kind of situation. Trying to watch it all back to back really highlights how repetitive it is. Sort of like Pysch in that regard.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Yes, it's a really fun show of the type we don't seem to get anymore.

Wish it was available on BD. :/

It's aparently available: http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/EUReKA-Die-komplette-Serie-Blu-ray/84038/ , https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00MCAGZHI/.

For some reason it seems like it only came out in germany. :/

 

[chrislowe]

one of the best series.

 

[Vanillalite]

 

[Mike M]

It has a pretty drastic tonal change at some point where it goes from people constantly dying in accidents of mad science to people being restored to normal by the ends of every episode, and it's fairly low-budget (there's, like, only one set that they use for every lab they come up with). It also must hold the record for most number of times that time travel had reset/altered the timeline in a single show.

It's goofy and charming.

 

[Livingskeletons]

Who dat?

 

[OnPoint]

Fun show dragged down slightly by some poor decisions here or there. Also Felicia Day continues her track record of reducing my enjoyment of something due to her eventual presence.

 

[Figboy79]

Who dat?

Salli Richardson.

I've been in love with her since the movie Posse. She's quite literally one of the most beautiful women in the world. She's great on Eureka. She always reminded me of Pam Grier, minus the gigantic boobs.

Oh god, I forgot she was in the show doing her dumb nerd girl thing. lol

 

[iNvid02]

I watched it for a few seasons and it was fun but started to drag and i dropped it, i'd say give it a shot
