Eureka (stylized as EUReKA) is an American science fiction television series that premiered on Syfy on July 18, 2006. The fifth and final season ended on July 16, 2012. The show is set in a fictional town in the Pacific Northwest called Eureka, Oregon. Inhabited almost entirely by scientific geniuses, most residents of Eureka work for Global Dynamics—an advanced research facility responsible for the development of nearly all major technological breakthroughs since its inception. Each episode features a mysterious accidental or intentional misuse of technology, which the town sheriff, Jack Carter, then solves with the help of town scientists. Each season also features a larger story arc that concerns a particular major event or item.

The series was created by Andrew Cosby and Jaime Paglia and was produced by Universal Media Studios. While initially lacking in strong critical acclaim, Eureka was a popular success, averaging 3.2 million viewers during the second half of season three.[1] In 2007, Eureka was nominated for the Emmy Award for Outstanding Visual Effects for a Series, and won the Leo Award for Best Visual Effects in a Dramatic Series.[2] In the United Kingdom the show airs on Sky1 and is known as A Town Called Eureka, although it is also shown under its original name on the BT Vision platform.[3]

On February 16, 2012, Syfy announced that the show's fifth and final season would premiere on April 16, 2012.[4] In order to close the show, one additional episode of the fifth season was ordered, which aired on July 16, 2012.[5]

Synopsis

Jaime Paglia, co-creator of Eureka.

Eureka takes place in a high tech fictional community of the same name, located in the U.S. state of Oregon (Washington in the pilot), and inhabited entirely by brilliant scientists working on new scientific advances. The town is operated by a corporation called Global Dynamics (GD), which is overseen by the United States Department of Defense. The town's existence and location are closely guarded secrets. In episode 5.06 ("Worst Case Scenario"), Jack is directed to place an EM field generator device at the center of Eureka's shield. The GPS coordinates given are 42°38′12.33″N 121°40′55.33″W / 42.6367583°N 121.6820361°W / 42.6367583; -121.6820361, located in the Winema National Forest, about 43 miles north of the border between California and Oregon.

U.S. Marshal Jack Carter stumbles upon Eureka while transporting a fugitive prisoner (his own rebellious teenage daughter Zoe) back to her mother's home in Los Angeles. When a faulty experiment cripples the sheriff of Eureka, Carter finds himself quickly chosen to fill the vacancy. Despite not being a genius like most members of the town, Jack Carter demonstrates a remarkable ability to connect to others, keen and practical insights, and a dedication to preserving the safety of Eureka.

Main characters

Main article: List of Eureka characters
  • Sheriff Jack Carter, portrayed by Colin Ferguson (seasons 1–5), is a U.S. Marshal who reluctantly ends up as the sheriff of Eureka. Jack is consistently dumbfounded by the wonders Eureka produces, as well as its propensity to produce things that often threaten the entire town (or world). Despite being a man of average intelligence in a town full of geniuses, Jack's admittedly simplistic ideas and his ability to make intuitive connections between seemingly disparate events often save the day.
  • Zoe Carter (Jordan Hinson) (seasons 1–3, recurring in seasons 4–5), is Jack's rebellious teenage daughter. Unlike her father, she is intelligent enough to keep up with the town's residents (her IQ is 157). Yet, like her father, she possesses the street smarts that most of the town's residents do not. She longs to attend Harvard Medical School and become a medical doctor.
  • Dr. Allison Blake (seasons 1–5), portrayed by Salli Richardson-Whitfield, is a Department of Defense (DOD) agent who acts as the liaison between Global Dynamics and the federal government. She is always at the forefront of any dilemma that might arise. Allison is also the single mother of her autistic son, Kevin.
  • Dr. Henry Deacon, portrayed by Joe Morton (seasons 1–5), is the town jack of all trades. Although he is a brilliant scientist (like most residents of Eureka), Henry has ethical objections to the kind of research conducted at Global Dynamics, so he prefers to be employed as the town's mechanic. Henry's assistance is often invaluable in defusing the bad situations that are created by experiments at Global Dynamics.
  • Dr. Nathan Stark, portrayed by Ed Quinn (seasons 1–3), is one of Eureka's top scientists. He and Jack are frequently at odds, although both respect each other. On and off, he is romantically involved with Allison. The character is modeled after the Marvel Comics character named Tony Stark.[6]
  • Josephina "Jo" Lupo, portrayed by Erica Cerra (recurring in seasons 1–2, regular in seasons 3–5), is Eureka's deputy sheriff. She is a no-nonsense former U.S. Army Ranger with a love of firearms.
  • Dr. Douglas Fargo, portrayed by Neil Grayston (recurring in seasons 1–2, regular in seasons 3–5), is a junior scientist who is treated somewhat dismissively by his peers. Accident prone, he more often than not ends up a victim of the disasters befalling the town. He has also caused a fair share of the problems. Grayston also provides the voice of S.A.R.A.H. (Self Actuated Residential Automated Habitat), the bunker home Jack and Zoe Carter live in.
  • Zane Donovan, portrayed by Niall Matter (recurring in season 2, regular in seasons 3–5), is a rebellious genius who is recruited to Global Dynamics as an alternative to imprisonment due to his arrest for fraud after allegedly causing the New York Stock Exchange to crash.

Production

The series was created by Andrew Cosby and Jaime Paglia and is produced by Universal Media Studios. The season one original music was composed by Mutato Muzika; season two and beyond were composed by Bear McCreary. The executive producers of the current season are Paglia, Charles Grant Craig, and Thania St. John. While initially lacking in strong critical acclaim, Eureka has been a popular success, averaging 3.2 million viewers during the second half of season three.[1] In 2007 Eureka was nominated for the Emmy Award for Outstanding Visual Effects for a Series and won the Leo Award for Best Visual Effects in a Dramatic Series.[2] In the United Kingdom on Sky1 the show is known as A Town Called Eureka although it is also shown under its original name on the BT Vision platform.[3]

Characters from Eureka have crossed over to Warehouse 13 and vice-versa, and characters from Warehouse 13 have crossed over to Alphas, making the three shows sister shows.

It was announced on August 17, 2010 that the show had been picked up for a fifth season of 13 episodes.[7][8] Fan sites and a show writers' Twitter feed said on August 4, 2011, that the show had been picked up for a sixth and possibly final season of 6 episodes.[8][9] It was then announced on August 8, 2011, that Eureka would not get a sixth season, but it would instead be canceled after season five.[10] However, one additional episode of the fifth season has been approved in order to give the series a proper finale.[5] On February 16, 2012 Syfy announced that the show's fifth and final season would premiere on April 16, 2012.[4]

Filming locations

Reception

Ratings and viewership

The series premiere garnered high ratings, with 4.1 million people tuning in. Eureka was also the top rated cable program for that Tuesday night, and was the highest-rated series launch in Syfy's fourteen-year history.[14] The season two premiere drew 2.5 million viewers, making it the top-rated cable program of the day.[15]

For calendar-year 2008 as a first-run, the series delivered 1.42 million viewers in the 18–49 demographic.[16]

The 3rd season premiere was viewed by 2.8 million viewers, and the season 3.5 premiere of Eureka earned 2.68 million viewers in its new time slot.[17] The 4th season premiere was viewed by 2.5 million viewers.[18] The 5th season premiere was viewed by 1.8 million viewers,[19] on par with seasons 4's closing episode One Giant Leap.[20] The 5th season closer Just Another Day generated 1.58 million viewers.[21]

Critical reaction

Critical reaction was mixed, with general praise for the premise, but overall middling reaction to the writing of the pilot.

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer:

It's all very quirky. Too quirky, maybe, for an audience that is used to spaceships, robots, and explosions. Though every episode promises an "aha!" moment based in quantum physics and obscure scientific laws, this world is relatively flat, conceptually speaking, in comparison to the complexity woven into series such as Stargate SG-1 and Battlestar Galactica. This does not mean Eureka is a complete waste of time. Not at all. The characters are fun, Ferguson is believable and pleasant, the script is solidly constructed, and the visuals are slickly produced. All in all, it's a sweet series and probably not long for this world.[22]

The New York Daily News:

With its playful new series Eureka, set in the Pacific Northwest and telling the story of an outsider who comes to explore, and settle in, a remote town full of eccentrics, Sci-Fi Channel isn't just inviting comparisons to Twin Peaks and Northern Exposure. It's demanding them. But co-creators Andrew Cosby and Jaime Paglia hold up to them pretty well. Eureka has a premise, a cast and a plot that make it one of the TV treats of the summer. The folks at Sci-Fi Channel clearly intended to reinvent the summer TV series here, and come up with something breezy and fun. And Eureka – they've done it!

Award nomination

Director of Center for Inquiry & IIG, James Underdown presents writer Ed Fowler with an award on August 21, 2010.

Cancellation

On August 8, 2011, it was announced that Eureka would be cancelled after five seasons.[25] Syfy gave this statement: "After painstaking consideration, we have had to make the difficult business decision to not order a season six of Eureka. But Eureka is not over yet. There is a new holiday episode this December and 12 stellar episodes set to debut next year, marking its fifth season and six memorable years on Syfy. The 2012 episodes are some of the best we've seen, and will bring this great series to a satisfying end. We are very grateful to Bruce Miller and Jaime Paglia, their team of incredible writers, and an amazing cast and crew who have consistently delivered a series we continue to be very proud of. We thank the fans for their support of this show and know they will enjoy its final season in 2012."[26]

With the announcement of the show's cancellation, a social media movement immediately emerged. Thousands of fans gathered at social web sites in order to state their disapproval.[27]

However, executive producer Amy Berg wrote the following tweet stating that Syfy did not want to cancel the show but the network's parent company Comcast decided to do so.

Everyone is asking why. It's simple, really. We are the network's golden child in every way, except profit margins. Fact is, #Eureka is an expensive show to make. And we could not maintain the quality of our show with the cuts it would take to make us profitable for Syfy's new parent company. Our creative execs at Syfy fought hard to keep us. Trust me, they LOVE us. We just couldn't make the numbers work.

— Twitter (via tvseriesfinale.com)[28], Amy Berg

Because of this, fans began to point fingers at Comcast for the show's cancellation.[28]
