5 out of 5 stars Terrific Mini-Season   July 9, 2009
James Donovan (Plainfield, Vermont USA)
29 out of 32 found this review helpful

Due to the writers' strike two years ago, all scripted shows were unfortunately shortened, resulting in seasons where it was months between new episodes. For some shows, the wait was too long and some were eventually cancelled due to poor ratings.

Luckily, for fans of Eureka, the creators simply split the season into two parts; an eight episode arc, which aired last July, and the second one, which premieres this July. The result is a longer season spread over two years, much like Battlestar Galactica. Some may call the upcoming episodes Season Four, but it's technically the second half of Season 3.

In any event, the first half of Season 3 is now out on DVD, just in time for the premiere of the remaining season. And while short on episodes, the show was at the top of it's game this season. I don't know about you, but to me this show is like comfort food. I love the characters and I love the world they inhabit. A perfect cast led by Colin Ferguson get the most out of the sometimes unbelievable situations. I won't go into the whole story arc, suffice to say that there is a new arrival in Eureka, who harbors a big secret about the town's past. And as the saying goes, out with old and in with the new, as SPOILER ALERT! a regular cast member departs midway through.

So while it might be frustrating to only have eight episodes here (and I watched all of them in one afternoon!), I personally prefer quality over quantity. My only grief with this set is a lack of an episode guide. That, and it would have been great to have the musical promo they did before the first episode last year! It was terrific and it's kind of a tease that they mention it in the music featurette and show a clip of it too, but not the whole thing. That's only a small complaint, because really the episodes are what it's all about and I absolutely recommend picking this up!



5 out of 5 stars One of the best cable shows on right now.   May 18, 2009

Yeah, it's a bummer abut the half season. But, you have to remember the writer's strike and they want to get the old episodes out there before new ones start up again. I'm almost positive they won't do that with season 4. Besides, Amazon's selling this for 19 bucks, and if the second part is 19 bucks, that's less than 40 for a whole season of hour long episodes. That's normal price, even cheaper than a lot of seasons of shows on DVD.

What's to say about the show? Full of wonder and a charming atmosphere. I'm happy the DVD's are coming out and happy new episodes start in July.



5 out of 5 stars My new favorite show!   July 9, 2009

Recently had the TV on the SciFi channel, not paying a whole lot of attention to it and then found myself being pulled into a couple Eureka episodes that ran concurrently. So I ordered Season 1. And then Season 2. And a couple minutes ago, after watching the episodes back-to-back, I finished season 3.

What a great find this show is! Ensemble shows, well executed, are a special treat. The actors of Eureka have excellent chemistry with one another, each and every one of them. These are terrific characters making the most of the unique and fascinating premise behind the town and there is a good balance between stand-alone stories and continuing arcs.

At first glance on TV, Eureka seemed a bit goofy for my tastes. I watch few TV shows. Favorites of the past decade have been The X-Files, Battlestar Gallactica, Lost and Jericho. Epic, even dark, shows. What Eureka has in common with these shows is a cast that you cannot help but care about as they come to care about one another. Eureka is an extraordinary town populated by extraordinary people and that makes for compelling television.

Considering what going to a film costs, less than $20 for several hours of this fantastic show is a tremendous bargain. And all the Season DVDs have a lot of deleted scenes that are interesting to watch. It's so great to discover a show that's already got a couple seasons out on DVD. But now I'm all caught up and eagerly awaiting the July 10 season premiere.



5 out of 5 stars This is the funniest whackiest show   January 8, 2010

3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I was sorry to see the ratings of this incredible funny, fast paced, sometime almost slapstick show brought down by reviewers who are upset because of the split season need to buy the show in two separate, dare I say, tranche. The reviewers do not address what a great and entertaining series this is. Although the network runs it at odd times, like 6 months apart, it is well worth the wait for the next season, be it part one or part two.

That said, Eureka takes place in a mythical town financed by the Department of Defense to develop weapons and technology for use in defense as well as the betterment of mankind, however the later use somehow always ends up like a weapon and threatens to blow the town apart. Jack Carter, the sheriff, is hilarious in his role as the stumbling cop lacking the brilliance of all the Nobel laureates in the town or the understanding of the technology that nearly kills him in each episode, much less his ability to ever pronounce it correctly. However, in every episode he is the one that puts all the parts together to prevent near Armageddon when the technology runs amok and he saves the day.

His interactions with Zoe, his daughter and the various characters at Global Dynamics are well played and full of subtle and not so subtle irony as this non-technocrat saves the day while the rest of the cast looks like a scatter pattern. The writers and directors have done a brilliant job of taking something that is borderline science with a lot of fiction and making folly and fodder out of what we would like to think are brilliant ideas and inventions.

There is a serious side to the show that forms the backbone around which all the antics take place. Season two was the most serious with the death of Henry's wife. I found some of the episodes to be a bit on the dark side but this was all undone in season three. Attributing malicious intent from one of the major characters towards Carter and the town just did not work for me.

If you have not watched this series do give it a try and take it for what it is, a slight drama with a lot of comedy, some just plain whacky stuff.



5 out of 5 stars Love the show short season or not.   July 2, 2009

I'm a big fan I have season 1 with 12 episodes and season 2 with 13 episodes.
Season 3 has only 8 episodes. Yea at first I thought I was getting ripped off but after watching them all, there is nothing missing, these are all the ones that aired on TV. So you can catch up before the new ones start later this month (July 2009).

1. Bad To the Drone
2. What About Bob?
3. Best in Faux
4. I Do Over
5. Show Me The Money
6. Phased and Confused
7. Here Comes the Suns
8. From Fear to Eternity

Extras include deleted scenes after each episode. There is Audio commentary for the 1st and Pod Cast commentary for 1-5. Disc 2 includes an interview with the guy who does the music, he also did the music in BattleStar G. BSG fans should love "Bad To the Drone", listen carefully.

Oh I need to mention the packaging is totally green,that is eco-friendly.
