I’ll have to check that out and see where the bank episode ranks… because I think that’s my favorite in the series purely because of the incredible physical comedy from Colin Ferguson.
@@taylorcooper9845 I was gonna add that too. It starts very adversarial but it grows naturally. The scene I think of most with them showing is after a Fargo idea doesn't blow up immediately, they have this exchange. "I cleared my entire morning for this." "Me too." "Coffee?" "Coffee." Best example I've ever seen of friends who get each other.
Jacks relationship with nearly every character was special. I remember the scene where Taggart rocks up from being a way for so long and they run at each other and hug and pick each up, it felt so real. And every single scene with him and Stark was hilarious and you knew they were friends. Jack had a different dynamic with everyone and they all loved him but there were a couple of them like with Henry that were really deep. I think Colin was just the kind of naturally likable guy that these on screen friendships were a bit more than an act, you can't fake some of those interactions.
@@MitchM240true, i was expecting that henry was going to eventually let jack know that he wiped his memory, but he kept it a secret..i thought henry was going to feel guilty when jack told him that he was such a good friend, but he was probably still mad at him for keeping him away from saving kim..that ufo with kim's robot episode reminds me of the episode with holly being brought back to life, but they didnt even mention it once..would have been nice to reference like if henry could have brought in some ideas from the mistakes he made with kim's robot, but it would be probably too weird with his new wife..i feel they moved on too quick with certain relationships like tag and jo..and tag never even questioned being ghosted until wayyy later..overall, i loved the series, but i just wish it connected smoother in some parts
god the sci-fi shows from this era were all so wild. Warehouse 13 and Haven would be awesome shows for you to cover, i feel like I haven't thought about them in years! loved the vid man
They weren’t doing much in the way of hard sci-fi in the 2000s but I didn’t mind too much, mostly because most of the shows from that era didn’t try to get the audience to take their goofy science fiction seriously. Bad science fiction that’s intended to be believable is a lot more worrisome to me than trippy science-fantasy.
@@CortexNewsServiceEureka ended about when it’s time had come, I think, but I agree with you about Warehouse 13. That show felt like it still had some run left in it.
@@CortexNewsService its so incredibly dumb the network decided to cancel all of its currently running shows so they could put all their money into a VIDEO GAME TIE IN SHOW THAT WAS ASS and lasted for 1 more season after they canceled everything!!
Eureka is my favorite show of all time. Such a cool concept, executed perfectly. Wholesome and emotional at times. Deep, endearing characters. I can't help but always root for my boy, Jack. So frickin good.
I loved this show. I binged it over a week while in college. I especially loved the bookend of Jack and his daughter seeing themselves drive into Eureka for the very first time, taking episode 1 time travel shenanigans and actually reframing it as time travel shenanigans from a future problem. I think my two real gripes about Eureka are that in season 3, they basically forget Kevin exists until they come back from 1947 and he's somehow no longer autistic. And that Henry both wiping Jack's mind of 4 years and having 4 years of memories is never brought up again.
Yeah they could have done something simple like Henry getting jack something he really likes for christmas EVERY YEAR and Henry just "knowing he would like it"
true, i feel the same about all you said except the car scene passing each other because at the end they were in a jeep, and the first episode was the same 2 cars..they should've brought the car back..and about henry never even confessing to jack about wiping his memory..i think there was just too many writers going in different directions..i wish henry eventually confessed to jack to let him know he married allison and had a child..also, its probably hard to stay consistent keeping the same actors for every season..like kevin and andy..i thought there was a charm about autistic kev only feeling comfortable talking with jack..the change of actors removed that charm, it was like a beautiful mind vibes that they threw away..
Eureka was a unique show, I liked it even when it wasn't at its best. This and Warehouse 13 were the best... Better than anything on TV, and I still go back and watch the full series when I need a mental refresh.
I love this show... I was a teen when it was airing and discovered itunes and my mom's credit card and bought all the episodes at $2.99 indivudally.... mom was really upset with the $300 cell phone bill
Finally! Eureka will always be one of my favorites sci-fi tv shows. I enjoy how you take these shows that filled my teenage years, and made me the wierdo that I am today, and explain their quirkiness so well. Now, only Warehouse 13 is left.
Eureka was a bridge in my family. It had something everyone enjoyed about the show. My wife was not into sifi and she enjoyed the writing. It was family friendly, and the kids loved it for reasons I still don't quite understand. But then they also were really into shows like Warehouse 13, Once Upon a Time and Grimm. I have weird kids.
The song in the series finale is one of my all-time favorite written-for-television songs ever. Bear McCreary was firing on all cylinders composing that song!
i loved certain episodes like the founder's day where they alter the theme a bit to match the episode..the theme has such a painful nostalgia, but gotta keep moving on type of vibe..also, really liked the theme song of that little robot toy whenever it showed up..the music really got stepped up when they got a bigger budget in the later seasons..i remember thinking of how low the budget the first season when one scene chose a song someone was singing off pitch lol..but when that scene in 1947 and lupo busted out in that bike whoopin some soldiers to an upbeat jazz song, i thought, "wow, what an entrance.." opening up a season like that made me know i was going to love it right away..and it was my favorite season
Meeting a fan of either of those shows is rare these days, so to meet someone else who has Eureka and Frasier in their top 3? I had to double check to see if this was a comment I left ..! (People don’t know what they’re missing with Frasier - I’m nervous about the upcoming reboot !)
@@caitlynmarie2677 Wow, same! They are both my comfort shows and almost always tend to be playing in the background when I'm working. It's awesome to meet a fellow fan! Amazing really. The new show... I'm seeing as geriatric Frasier haha. I think it's going to be great. May take a few episodes to find their footing but I'm hoping it will be good! You're amazing! Thank you.
Absolutely loved this show! It being a "cozy" show is dead on. Special shout out to that second Christmas special being one of the most memorable moments to me (loved the animation swapping and stuff) and oddly enough the finale. The idea of the show ending where it began has stuck with me even years later and makes that pilot cooler.
I’m currently in the middle of a rewatch and will have to save this video for when I finish out the series. But I’m so happy you posted this! Eureka is such a little gem and barely anyone knows about it I feel.
Your videos are awesome. You could make a video about a show where people watch paint dry for 30 minutes, and I'd probably still go "oh goodie" and click on it in my recommended.
I loved this show when I was younger, it was one of my top 5 sci-fi shows, though I will say one of my favorite scenes was when they went full circle with the pilot scene where as Jack and Zoe are leaving town in the finale they pass themselves from the pilot as they are driving into Eureka.
And healthy male relationships and friendships. And no overtly sexual stuff. And strong women without being "men with boobs". And... well, it was a very well made show that I wish we could see the likes of again.
They ALL should've become HUGE stars after this show. I wonder if they were secretly punished for being in a show that divulged so many real DoD secrets, unwittingly or not...
@@0zoneTherapyCureslol that's what hooked me to the show, its like they were hiding top secret tech in plain sight..would be interesting to see a 2024 season of this show to see how much further they advanced..and i love that they hinted words from Werner Von Braun that alien's aren't real..they're just top secret science experiments lol
It's remarkable that when I find your channel, see the "eureka episodes" video, and wish you had a eureka series retrospective video, the *literal next day* you come out with it. Talk about timing. I used to *love* this show back in the day and this is a fun nostalgia trip.
The season 4 Blu-ray had the original version of the premier that was something like 6 or 8 minutes longer. You get to see the whole opening scene where Carter and Tess break up. When it starts out, you're not even meant to realize that they're not really in the same room, until Tess flickers. And they kind of (quickly) go over the history that the audience has missed over the past in-canon year. (Apparently not much happens in Eureka when the audience isn't watching.) He _did_ go to visit her in Australia, they had a great time... and then he inevitably came back home to a different continent many months ago. And even though this is all being established in like 2-3 minutes of dialog, by the end of it, you're kind of on the same page as them. They've given this long-distance thing a thorough and extended try and it ain't working for either of them. And she mercifully is the one to say it out loud. The scene had to do the job of _very_ quickly bringing the whole Carter and Tess arc to an effective end, and I gotta say, it did so fairly competently... and then they cut it out and "snuck" a snippet of it into the "previously on". I too originally thought that I'd missed an episode. The rest of the bits they cut out were mostly Carter and Grant trading more insults, plus a little extra padding here and there. But losing that opening scene was a bad call.
I was glad to hear your comparison to The Andy Griffith Show, as I've always made that comparison myself. You've got a common sense sheriff, also a single father, taking care of a town full of weird but lovable citizens...the smart house called Sarah was a sci-fi version of "Aunt Bea". I always hoped they would have an episode where Sarah the smart house tried and failed to make home made dill pickles as a subplot...that's an Andy Griffith Show reference if you didn't get it...
I was always/still am on the fence about the timeline change in season 4. The only main thing that I was completely for was Andy being a main character, his attitude is so fun
season 4 was my fav lol, but i missed the charm of autistic kev only feeling comfortable to talk with jack around..it was like a beautiful mind.. and i loved andy and sarah lol
Oh my god...I completely forgot this show!! I loved it sooo much!! It came to Japan quite quickly and it was great!!! Thanks for taking me back, slipmaker!!
hi there! just wanted to say thank you for these retrospectives, they are so detailed and thoughtful and well put together, it's made me actually check out a lot of new shows after listening to your videos on them. always looking forward to your next video! keep up the fantastic work!
@@GodwynDi All time? My favorite mini-series will always be Spielberg's Taken and Childhood's End, followed by The Tenth Kingdom, Tin Man, and Band of Brothers. The Lost Room is nowhere near those. It doesn't even beat Ascension. You need to see more mini-series if The Lost Room is your fav
Personally, I loved both Christmas episodes. I actually thought the animated version was outstanding. I love the series, have all the DVD's and watch them occasionally. This was nicely done. Thank you.
Omg omg omg. I literally looked the exact title up not long ago and nothing fmrecent came up... I love this show!!! The setting, the people, the plots, the twists, the bad episodes, everything.
Eureka is exactly the kind of well intentioned comfort food programming we don't seem get a lot of now days, which is a shame. It definitely had it's ups and downs but overall, I agree, it was a pretty great show. As a side note SG-1 also had a fake previously on segment in their 200th episode, titled umm... 200. When my family and I first saw it we rewound it 3 or 4 times and went back to watch the previous episodes ending to try and figure out if we missed something. Although unlike here, it was entirely fake as the whole episode was a meta joke poking fun at the characters, the show, and sci-fi in general and have no actual bearing on anything in the series. Still probably one of the funnies episode of TV I have ever seen and my personal favorite for entire franchise.
I've missed this show. It was so good. When I was young I dreamed about living in a town like that. Then the show came out and I fell in love with it. I must have watched the series half a dozen times over the years. I was just thinking about it the other day, as my wife and I are more or less out/ caught up on good shows to binge. I think this might just warrant another rewatch.
It’s so rare to stumble across another “Eureka” fan out in the wild… but I know you guys are out there 🤍 (and I’m in the midst of rewatching the entirety of “Haven” again now, so nice to see that mentioned as part of the best lineup SyFy ever had.. along with “Farscape”, which everyone should go watch immediately whether they’ve seen it before or not!)
@@JuriAmari “Farscape” is such a hidden gem (hidden from MOST people, not us cool kids, obviously!) and I love just putting it on and having it on in the background while im doing things (I do it with eureka too - easy episodes to just jump into when they catch your interest if it’s playing,you know?)
Although you've covered some series that I have watched, this is one of the ones that I didn't. A really energetic retrospective. Full of some great observations as well as some snappy humour.
Hot damn I appreciate your content more than you can know Slip! You’re taste is impeccable and your videos are wel crafted and insightful!I can’t wait for the next drop!
There's a deleted scene in the season 3 Blu-rays where Carter is talking to Henry (while Henry's in prison) about the whole mind-wipe thing. Like he's remembered it on his own and now he's just straight up confronting Henry with it. It's been a while since I've watched it, so I don't recall how much of his memory he'd supposedly gotten back, but I know the scene was pretty short, so there wasn't much of a chance to go into detail. I think it was just a casualty of the massive re-writes they had to do to season 3 when Salli Richardson-Whitfield got pregnant. From what they said on the commentary tracks, it seems like the creators honestly always intended to come back to it. Like it was even gonna be a major factor in their supposed final season 6. And then suddenly they were cancelled and given ONE more episode to try and wrap everything up. And all they could do was a sort of nod to it when Carter's about to step through another portal and says there's something familiar about it.
Some of the past links were epic. How Saul Rubinek would guest starred as Dr. Carl Carlson (ironically becomes a superhero which if you have ever noticed that Stan Lee names his characters like that) but, then Warehouse 13 would turn out to be in the same universe because Allison Scagliotti guest starred later as her W13 character Claudia Donovan. And when members of Eureka would guest star as different characters on W13. From Joe, Henry, Zane, Fargo (But he would be the only one who would be his own character).
ok we definitely need Warehouse 13 Full Series Retrospective, it was one of my favourite shows back in the day and im sure its one of the greatest "monster of the week" shows ever
Man, I just found You and it seems in the past we'd have maaaany topics to discuss, as You made a retrospective on all of my favorites series from 10-15 years (Fringe, Chuck, Eureka, Community, iZombie), so I'm guessing we have a very similar taste. It's shame that many people forget about such good series like Fringe or Eureka...
Always loved this show. Your opening comments about it being a comfortable watch are on point. The number of times I’ve come back to watch it when nothing else is peaking my interest always kind of surprises me. And ya. The love triangles and will they, won’t they aspects of the show really do get tiring after a while.

Was not expecting it but love it. Eureka is such an overlooked classic.
He actually has a video of best eureka episodes, from long ago. I watched it literally the *day* before this got uploaded~
I’ll have to check that out and see where the bank episode ranks… because I think that’s my favorite in the series purely because of the incredible physical comedy from Colin Ferguson.
Having gotten further into the video, he mentions it an hour into this video, including an on-screen link :D
Lets not forget pne of the best cameo's Grant Inmahara
The stakes were generally low, but it was a great show overall
The eureka-warehouse 13-haven era syfy was honestly the best time to be alive and I’m so grateful I got to experience it
I love Jack and Henry's friendship so much. I think it's genuinely my favorite relationship in the entire series.
I also really like how Jack and Lupo evolved over the years as well.
@@taylorcooper9845 I was gonna add that too. It starts very adversarial but it grows naturally.

One of my favorite series! Still have the entire series on DVD here~
I swear I was the biggest fan of this show growing up
Love this show. Absolutely a comfort show for me.
I watched this so much, I have watched every season, and my favorite is the Christmas special, “Do You See What I See?”
The Sopranos would be a great one to hear you breakdown next! Awesome video
With so many shows being recast and brought back, really should bring this show back. It was fun to watch.
I actually loved the outlandishness of the second Christmas episode. I just think it was just goofy in a belly-laughing way. ❤
I loved Eureka! It was an awesome show. Thanks for the retrospective of the series.
Thanks for the retrospec. Eureka wasn't my favorite sci-fi show, but I think I made it through one complete watch. It was nice to see a recap.
Great video! I love it when people talk about stuff they love. I would love to see you talk about Warehouse 13 someday
I really wish Eureka didn't end the way it did... Such a great show
They stopped EUREKA when it was still good
A Weird science cover in the intro? Yes please
Oh my god...I completely forgot this show!! I loved it sooo much!! It came to Japan quite quickly and it was great!!!
Thanks for taking me back, slipmaker!!
The timing on this is fascinating. I actually just recent started tearing through the series. I am currently on Season 3.
Is this your 1st time watching or is it a rewatch?
@@frozenpiper2 A rewatch up until the ship was stolen by the consortium. I hadn't seen past that yet.
@Blasted2Oblivion oh OK. I was wondering if you'd started season 4 yet. It's such a great show
@@frozenpiper2 Imagine my surprise finding out the show wasn't just canceled after that cliffhanger.
@Blasted2Oblivion lol. My friend didn't like the change but i loved it.
Awww Rest in Peace Vincent. Taken too young 😢 Chris Gauthier your character on Eureka was hilariously well done.
Great video! I was obsessed with this show when it aired, but I haven’t rewatched it in years!
This is one of the shows of all time. It left a genuine hole in my heart when I finished it!
I miss Eureka so much. It was smart, yet funny. Great characters and storylines.
hi there! just wanted to say thank you for these retrospectives, they are so detailed and thoughtful and well put together, it's made me actually check out a lot of new shows after listening to your videos on them. always looking forward to your next video! keep up the fantastic work!
after having asked for this multiple times, thanks SlipMaker.
I was a huge fan of the mini-series The Lost room! So when eureka and Warehouse 13 came out I had high hopes for them!
That's one of my favorites! Along with the other two.
Yes! My favorite miniseries of all time.
@@GodwynDi
All time?
My favorite mini-series will always be Spielberg's Taken and Childhood's End, followed by The Tenth Kingdom, Tin Man, and Band of Brothers. The Lost Room is nowhere near those. It doesn't even beat Ascension.
You need to see more mini-series if The Lost Room is your fav
This is a blast from the past, I always loved the show and will rarely pass up on an episode; it was like comfort food.
I love this show I watched so much syfy back in the day every Saturday and eureka was radical
One of those great shows nobody talks about anymore, well, except for this video
Personally, I loved both Christmas episodes. I actually thought the animated version was outstanding. I love the series, have all the DVD's and watch them occasionally. This was nicely done. Thank you.
I found out about this show in 2020 and I loved watching it, one of my favorites.
I loved eureka, i watched it as it came out and it was so much fun
Omg omg omg. I literally looked the exact title up not long ago and nothing fmrecent came up... I love this show!!! The setting, the people, the plots, the twists, the bad episodes, everything.
That Bethesda joke made me do a a spit take.
Eureka is exactly the kind of well intentioned comfort food programming we don't seem get a lot of now days, which is a shame. It definitely had it's ups and downs but overall, I agree, it was a pretty great show.
As a side note SG-1 also had a fake previously on segment in their 200th episode, titled umm... 200. When my family and I first saw it we rewound it 3 or 4 times and went back to watch the previous episodes ending to try and figure out if we missed something. Although unlike here, it was entirely fake as the whole episode was a meta joke poking fun at the characters, the show, and sci-fi in general and have no actual bearing on anything in the series. Still probably one of the funnies episode of TV I have ever seen and my personal favorite for entire franchise.
I love this series amd like your self ive watched it many times. Thankyou for the recap.
this was super well written & i wholehardly agree with the review!! I would love a warehouse 13 retrospective!!!
One of my all time favorite shows
I really appreciated that after the time travel arc they stuck with it till the end.
Also, the show was a banger.
This was a wildly underrated show. The acting and writing were top notch.
The Maker of Slips has offered up a new analysis and a new show I'll have to check out. Today is a good day.
always nice to see a new Slip Maker video in my feed :)
ur channel is nostalgia critiqued fairly and honestly i stan 😂🤞🏾
I somehow loved the callback to the pilot in the last episode, where Jack and Zoey see themselves in the other passing car.
" I Do Over" is one of my best and well written episodes of all time.
I've missed this show. It was so good. When I was young I dreamed about living in a town like that. Then the show came out and I fell in love with it. I must have watched the series half a dozen times over the years. I was just thinking about it the other day, as my wife and I are more or less out/ caught up on good shows to binge. I think this might just warrant another rewatch.
It’s so rare to stumble across another “Eureka” fan out in the wild… but I know you guys are out there 🤍
(and I’m in the midst of rewatching the entirety of “Haven” again now, so nice to see that mentioned as part of the best lineup SyFy ever had.. along with “Farscape”, which everyone should go watch immediately whether they’ve seen it before or not!)
We're here. It was a fun show and there are Facebook groups that still follow it.
I’m so glad there are so many of us out here. I’m also a fan of Farscape thanks to my brother introducing me to the series.
@@JuriAmari “Farscape” is such a hidden gem (hidden from MOST people, not us cool kids, obviously!) and I love just putting it on and having it on in the background while im doing things (I do it with eureka too - easy episodes to just jump into when they catch your interest if it’s playing,you know?)
Omg yes, I have been hoping for this vid and you always pull through, thank you❤️
Heck yeah! Can't wait to watch, you were the reason I watched Eureka!
Although you've covered some series that I have watched, this is one of the ones that I didn't. A really energetic retrospective. Full of some great observations as well as some snappy humour.
The Skyrim music at the end had me LOLing🤣.
Hot damn I appreciate your content more than you can know Slip! You’re taste is impeccable and your videos are wel crafted and insightful!I can’t wait for the next drop!
These retrospectives are great!! Please do Haven!
Always makes my day when you upload. really would love a Mr. Robot retrospective.
Finally someone giving this show some love!
There's a deleted scene in the season 3 Blu-rays where Carter is talking to Henry (while Henry's in prison) about the whole mind-wipe thing. Like he's remembered it on his own and now he's just straight up confronting Henry with it. It's been a while since I've watched it, so I don't recall how much of his memory he'd supposedly gotten back, but I know the scene was pretty short, so there wasn't much of a chance to go into detail.
I think it was just a casualty of the massive re-writes they had to do to season 3 when Salli Richardson-Whitfield got pregnant. From what they said on the commentary tracks, it seems like the creators honestly always intended to come back to it. Like it was even gonna be a major factor in their supposed final season 6. And then suddenly they were cancelled and given ONE more episode to try and wrap everything up. And all they could do was a sort of nod to it when Carter's about to step through another portal and says there's something familiar about it.
ah, thats good to know they at least thought of including that..i felt robbed from that, i wish that scene wasn't deleted
Another awesome video! I would love for you to do a full series retrospective on warehouse 13 if you already haven't.
I love that every single episode has at least one actor from one of the three Stargate series, sometimes two.
Some of the past links were epic. How Saul Rubinek would guest starred as Dr. Carl Carlson (ironically becomes a superhero which if you have ever noticed that Stan Lee names his characters like that) but, then Warehouse 13 would turn out to be in the same universe because Allison Scagliotti guest starred later as her W13 character Claudia Donovan. And when members of Eureka would guest star as different characters on W13. From Joe, Henry, Zane, Fargo (But he would be the only one who would be his own character).
Awesome retrospective one of my favourite shows
The Farscape tease at the beginning. Would pay money to see that show get a good retrospective treatment
ok we definitely need Warehouse 13 Full Series Retrospective, it was one of my favourite shows back in the day and im sure its one of the greatest "monster of the week" shows ever
I'd love to see some videos about Warehouse 13 and Haven. I forgot about this era of the syfy channel 😂
Nice suggestion! Haven was one of my favorite shows at the time, I was obsessed! Sadly it seems no one talks about it.
Man, I just found You and it seems in the past we'd have maaaany topics to discuss, as You made a retrospective on all of my favorites series from 10-15 years (Fringe, Chuck, Eureka, Community, iZombie), so I'm guessing we have a very similar taste. It's shame that many people forget about such good series like Fringe or Eureka...
Great show, along with Chuck, Firefly and Blood Drive
I've been looking forward to this!!!
I really enjoyed this show back in the day. Not sure if rewatching it will destroy my nostalgia glasses. Better keep it as it is in my head
Always loved this show. Your opening comments about it being a comfortable watch are on point. The number of times I’ve come back to watch it when nothing else is peaking my interest always kind of surprises me.
And ya. The love triangles and will they, won’t they aspects of the show really do get tiring after a while.
