WTF Happened to Eureka? (2006-2012)

- Welcome back to another edition of Gone But Not Forgotten! In this episode, we're looking at the cult Sci-Fi Channel (or as it's known now Syfy) tv series, EUREKA (aka A TOWN CALLED EUREKA). This show starred Colin Ferguson as a U.S. Marshall who reluctantly winds up as the sheriff of Eureka, with his teenage daughter Zoe (Jordan Hinson), in tow.
However, Eureka is no ordinary town in that it's populated exclusively by scientific geniuses. The top-secret town is operated by a U.S Gov shell company called Global Dynamics (GD), and throughout five well-loved seasons, all kinds of well-loved insanity took place. Created by Andrew Cosby & Jaime Paglia and co-starring Joe Morton, Salli Richardson-Whitfield, Jordan Hinson, Ed Quinn, and more, the series was part of Syfy's attempt to create a shared universe. EUREKA led to WAREHOUSE 13, and the two shows often crossed over. In its time, EUREKA was extremely popular, being Syfy's most-watched show launch in years and one of the top-rated cable shows of the day. It was well-regarded enough that it ran for five seasons and seventy-seven episodes. While unfairly obscure nine years after it aired its last episode, EUREKA still has a devoted cult following, and it's a great show to dig into for the uninitiated. So join us as we investigate a town called EUREKA!

Hey guys!
This episode was made from suggestions from fans who emailed us demanding this show be covered. If you want to make suggestions for future episodes of GBNF then e-mail GBNFSeries@gmail.com and maybe we’ll cover your show!
So many times I emailed too! 😂 Thank you
I found a season and a half before it ended too!
You know we need a Warehouse 13 episode though now...
did Jesse Shade go away or something?
I loved warehouse 13
Me too. Still watch it streaming from time to time.
This show and "Warehouse 13" were my must-see-tv back in the day
Was about to make the same comment. I just binged warehouse again yeaits over the top but so fun. The librarians tried to be close but man iloved warehouse
Totally
Interesting tidbit on this episode was that Warehouse 13 was meant to be a spinoff. Though there was one crossover episode, if memory serves.
Yup
@@Craxin01
Two, one on each show. First one has Claudia visiting Eureka to pick up some purple goo, second has Fargo stuck in a virtual reality game thanks to Lewis Carroll's Tea Pot and Claud and the gang are called over to help out.
That time was amazing. You had Stargate shows on Friday paired with Warehouse 13 and Eureka as well as Farscape. It seems SyFy had no idea what it had.
Yup
You bet your mivoks.
What gets me is just how fast scifi went to syfy and murdered the network.
There's not much sci fi left on the SYFY channel. It seems to be going the way of the History Channel.
Also ECW
This show deserves a full reunion movie. It's too good a premise, a town with crazy scientists and a everyman character type with really good emotional light hearted stories and not preachy or condescending to the audience. The way they wove each character to evolve over the 5 seasons was perfect. Even it's so called flaws were turned into gold imo. It's in my top 5 science fiction shows and top 20 shows of all time.
Yes, I'm just on the fence about whether or not those last 2 seasons were worth it. The time travel storyline was pretty bad.
It could turn out like Serenity and Firefly, but I think it would still be awesome
Colin Ferguson was awesome in that he was able to do physical comedy which felt real enough while being over the top funny and as such was the perfect fit for the character. My only complaint about the show was they kept trying to one up itself so by the end it didn't feel the same as it did in the first few seasons.
Season 1-3 were the best and should have ended there.
Yeah, they jumped the shark with the time travel arc
@@Tasarran Yes and I think they knew it when they did that. I think they did it because they realized that they were rapidly running out of things that they could do before people started to really question why this incredibly dangerous town is allowed to continue to threaten the entire world's safety.
I personally hated the time travel arc, and the stuff that came after it wasn't that great, but wasn't particularly horrible.
Oh yes. Distant echoes of Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd were definitely there.
Taggart is one of Matt Frewer's best roles ever.
That and Max Headroom.
And Trashcan Man.
Cibola!!!
Pity they made him Australian, the accent was horrible
Matt Frewer is definitely underrated as one of Eureka's characters.
Does he even do bad performances. Pestilence on supernatural, the zealot on castlevania. Home run everytime.
Eureka was one of the few shows that used time travel as believable as possible. Plus, that episode changed the entire series and the characters' relationships, for the rest of the series. They were never able to go back and change the events back to normal. A fantastic way to revitalize a series - essentially make it into another series.
It took me quite a while to accept the new arch. But the show was written well so I eventually got there.
They overused it too
They did time travel in season one and almost destroyed the town. Other than the writers running out of ideas, the show shouldn’t have retreaded an old plot line to revitalize the show.
@@crashconstructionunfiltere3829 - That's what typically happens with shows that have great writing - they have to keep thinking up better and better stories to keep up the great standard they set. They may not of "had to" do it, but it was a great way to change the characters and keeping audience interest.
Yeah. A series called Warehouse 13
Eureka, Warehouse 13, and Fringe are my absolute favorites. The format these shows follow just works so well for me
BRO SAME 😅
Eureka and Warehouse 13 ftw haha still gotta watch Fringe don't know how i missed that show!
@@duality4y Fringe is awesome, watch it and be prepaired to not want to stop binging it till it's over.
I have to throw "Haven" into that list... although it fell off after 'the barn' thing but the first couple of seasons were great.
@@Ddoc080 that was cool show! The episode i remember most is one with a cursed pool stick, and the guy had to unalive people with it before he could use it to win pool games.
The tone of Eureka sort of reminds me of the tone of Scrubs but with Sci-Fi elements instead of medical. The reason I say it is this because the show could be funny but then just hit you with the feels out of no where.
As much as I love Eureka it is no Scrubs. I can't think of a single emotional moment in Eureka that comes even close to some of Scrubs' highpoints like Cox's breakdown at the end of "My Lunch", both parts of "My Finale", or "Where do you think we are?".
@@rickard7031 I do agree with that statement, just meant similar, not exactly the same or as good :)
I love how they showed you the ending of the series in the first episode and you kinda forgot but then saw it and were wowed
Which is more amazing considering that I don't know that the time travel storyline had been included at that stage.
Now I need to know how they resolved THAT dilemma! Talk about a cliffhanger. That's where Eureka - The Movie should pick up.
true, i was expecting that ending before it came up..only thing though is that they were in a jeep instead of the car in the first episode
What a great show! They don’t make them like that anymore. Colin Ferguson and Joe Morton delivered in every episode.
Joe Morton was responsible for SkyNet. Never forget that.
@@CassandrashadowcassMorrison 🤣🤣🤣
SLANDER!!!
They had such a great chemistry
I think Henry's arc was my absolute favorite of all of them. Joe Morton was incredible in the role!
This show has one of my favourite Christmas episodes.
This show had all of my favorite Christmas episodes
OMG The claymation! YES!
My daughter named our Golden Retriever "Fargo" after Douglas. She had no idea it was a city in North Dakota, she just loved that character so much. So did I - loved the acting, the quirkiness, and even grew to love the "timer" that exists in every episode. We turned it into a game - started taking bets on when they were going to activate the timer and how much time would be left when they solved the issue.
Ive watched the full series 6 or 7 times. Absolutely love this show. It was brilliant and beautiful and fun. Such a rare show.
me too
Where do I watch this show?
@@ganeshaditya9771 Peacock App
You really fall in love with the characters, and they become a family of sorts over the course of the seasons which was amazing.
@@ganeshaditya9771 at one point it was on Netflix not sure if it still is though. Can also check store's for either a physical or digital copy of the series.
My tween and I have been watching this for over a year. He's 11 so it's hard to find something we both enjoy. Eureka is so great, the highlight of my day with my son.
Words can't express my love for this show, i formed an emotional attachment to it , it legit got me out of a very very dark time. I'll always love this show just wish we got more seasons, I hate when good shows die early
What I loved was the interconnected nature of the show with other Sci-Fi shows. Haven't finished the video at this point but Syfy had it's own Marvel style universe and they didn't even appreciate it. Alphas, Warehouse 13 and Eureka all had crossover episodes and all technically take place in the same universe. I also remember the painful bits like when Syfy wanted more money so they pimped the show out and had corporate sponsers for projects in Eureka. But still it was a great time. Fargo showed up on Warehouse 13 to fix some of the tech and the main male lead on Warehouse 13 had basically a superpower for danger that made him an Alpha.
I love this show! A mixture of Sci Fi/ Comedy/ Action/Drama/Crime/Fantasy/Satire. Makes me wish they never had cancelled the series.
I absolutely love this show. This and Psych are 2 of my favorite shows of all time. I binge it probably once a year. On Season 4 now. I would love to see it come back even for a limited run. It had such great characters, comedy, and heart. It's rare to find a show like this nowadays.
Joey Lupo was fantastic. Jack's scream is the funniest sound ever on TV. 🤣
Sci-Fi Channel at it's best time ever with Eureka, Warehouse 13, Stargate, and Battlestar Galactica.
Well... what about the syndication run's of Monsters, Twilight Zone, Star Trek TOS, NG, DS9, and Enterprise.
Don’t forget Haven!
And happy! Never forget happy😢
Eureka, Warehouse 13, and Stargate yes, but BSG reboot abomination SUCKED.
So say we all.
One of the best Sci-fi shows.... they couldnt figure out what to do with it after season 2, but man did it have infinite potential.
This show and warehouse 13… both were so good… so upset they both got cancelled
Eureaka reminded me a lot of Fringe!
and I remember Warehouse 13, which was also very similar, Eureka was about future inventions all going wrong,
while warehouse13 was all about ancient artifacts all going wrong!
Fringe was about everything from past/present/future all going wrong because of interdimensional time travellers!
However my main grief is the loss of Firefly!
At least our fan community got together and got a final movie made! Serenity :o)
When SyFy axed the Stargate franchise many fans assumed that it was for the Eureka/Warhouse 13 universe which was getting popular at that time...then they did the same thing to Warehouse 13 / Eureka I have not watched a single show on SyFY since then. I got sick of being burned over and over and over again. That network does NOT understand SyFy fans. Their attitude at the time (and probably still today was) yes we are cancelling your show but we got all these other shows! That's not the point. Fans of a show/franchise are NOT fans of the network they are on.
at least they properly ended Warehouse 13
OK can people get this when shows get canceled is because they didn’t have enough ratings or maybe the actors might not wanna do the shows anymore he stop blaming networks all the time because they don’t have enough money to produce the show then they’re not gonna continue the show sometimes the ratings do fall that shit up before you complain or blame the Netwerk and no-show they can keep on forever anyway eventually is going to cancel there’s a lot of TV shows I love whatever to pisses me off when I gets canceled I’m disappointment but I’m not gonna bitch about an blame the show all the channel with all they should not do that they should do it when I understand why do you research understand it because that’s why if they don’t have enough rain is why don’t keep a show on they have to have enough people watching a show to yes or some shows I cancel they had a good good ratings but that’s because the actors in what you anymore to cause you have to realize to sometimes actors get tired of playing the same character and they want to branch out or they wanna retire or whatever sometimes that happens to people need to realize the stuff before they said they’re complain
They should rebrand to the Paranormal Channel.
But hey, you can watch WWE smack down, right?! 😂
Eureka was canceled because they ran out of things to do with the town. Even the soft reboot of the time travel plot line wasn't enough to open it up for continuing the series.
Jack is by far one of the best show leads around. His withheld humor is perfect for this role. Miss that show!
No, you weren't exaggerating on how special 'Eureka' was to its fans. A true gem of a television program, Northern Exposure meets the Manhattan Project. Unpredictable plots, eccentric characters, scientifically very savvy, thought provoking ideas as well as providing the viewer madcap comedy. I've turned on so many of my friends to this show (when it was still was on the air) and most if not all, fell in love with it after just watching the first two or three episodes. The only show that came close to its unique blend of zany fun, inventiveness and action sci-fi was NBC's 'Chuck'. There hasn't been anything on TV like either of these two unforgettable shows since.
I have this show on dvd and still watch them in the background while I work. Great show
They ever put it out on Blu-ray?
This show made me smile when I was in a very dark place. It still does now as I show it to my kids.
I totally agree, love this show. Every month or two I watch the whole series all over again on Amazon Prime.
The show leaves you with a happy feeling, during COVID this is a God send.
I re-watch this show every so often. I just started again showing my girlfriend the first episode. Love this show. The chemistry between the characters in the first few seasons was incredible. Carter, Allison, Zoe, Henry, Stark, Lupo, and Fargo is just sooo good. Best episode for me was hands down “I Do Over”.
Is it on any streaming service? I loved this show back then
I abslolutely adored this show. It was the smartest, funniest thing ever made for TV.
Still haven't finished season 5. Because then it would be over. I've been putting it off for ten years now ^^
I don't understand why people do this. In that I don't see the point. Everything ends.
Oooh, @JoBlo Originals, you tryin' to mess with our hearts with this one. When Quinn's character vapourised, I actually cried. My late husband and I used to watch regularly, then lost track, as his liver failure kept us in hospitals. We also watched that cartoon, "Gargoyles," highly recommended, as well as I watched the live action, "Black Lightening," not the cartoon, after my husband died. So many interconnected life events with shows. I always thought I would go back and catch up, but channels put things behind pay walls, and when one has bills to pay, we forget beloved old shows. Oh, and I also loved "Northern Exposure," so much I once bought a book about it when I worked for Barnes & Noble. My parents used to watch it when I was a teenager. I never knew Eureka took actual inspiration from NE.
God I love Eureka!! My grandpa watched it with my mom and I watched it with her last year and it not only taught me more about my grandpa, it gave me so much joy and Im so sad noone else I’m friends with knows it
I fell in love with that show too. Thank you for re-upping those memories
Great video, I love Eureka watched it during the original run and have probably binge-watched it at least 3 times since the Cancellation, and Warehouse 13 was awesome as well SYFY needs to bring back classics like that
Love this show. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Time to go watch it again
I actually felt bad for Colin Ferguson. maybe 6mo to a year later I saw him doing commercials for Maytag playing....wait for it.
the Maytag repairman. I thought the poor guy went from the lead on a great syfy (haha!) scifi series.
He’s doing mostly hallmark movies now
Hey, he's getting steady work, and I'm sure it pays better than a 9 to 5.
Maytag paid him a hefty sum for those commercials. He was hired because of Eureka.
I loved seeing him in those commercials.
He was a mannequin model before the show.
Oh, my god!!! Dyson, the guy who's going to create skynet lives in the town!!!
I actually hadn't forgotten this show existed, I just didn't know it existed...
Also, still waiting on the Millennium episode before we arrive to the apocalypse of our own creation. Thanx!!!
Eureka and Warehouse 13 are both 1st rate and our family is addicted (we’ve watched Eureka all seasons 3-4 times)…love it!
I just watched the series again last year.. and this makes me want to watch it again!! I actually got to meet Allison Scagliotti from Warehouse 13 who guest started on the show 1 episode but so much was made out about the relationship Fargo had with her until Felicia Day showed up. This show never gets old!
Eureka was a great show. I used to watch it but like a lot of good SCI FI it suffered the fate of network executives who only want to chase the almighty dollar.
Ran across it only a few years ago, and absolutely loved it. Utterly original and well put together in every way. I need to go back and watch so many episodes that I haven't seen yet
You inspired me to do this. A lost gem!!
Did you also watch warehouse 13?
Eureka and w13 are a shared universe
Also a terrific show!
❤❤❤Eureka!!!Thank you for showing this show the love and attention it deserves!! The show was so innovative & ahead of it's time. Gone too soon.
I would always see the previews of Eureka while watching Stargate, but never started watching the show until season 4. I was hooked from that time on and wish I would have started watching it earlier. And Colin Ferguson is great on everything I've seen him on.
One of the best shows ever on TV!! It was/is a show you can watch over and over again and enjoy it every time, and see something new each time to. I miss this show and all the other wonderful stuff they had at the time. Eureka, Warehouse 13 (which so many have mentioned), Fringe, Sanctuary, PSY Factor (another Matt Fewer masterpiece), Haven ohhh man the list goes on. Thanks for doing this, I think I'm going to go watch me some Eureka :)
You didn't mention at the end Jack's successful career as Maytag
I should have ended with his hallmark movies
Don't forget a season of Haven.
He deserves a lot better of a acting gig than pretending to be a appliance. I saw that commercial & was like ugg why dude?
@@ubercoo Those commercials make quite a bit of money.
I loved Eureka! I started watching during the first season about 3 episodes in and was immediately hooked. I rediscovered it on Amazon Prime and have watched it at least 3 times because you can still enjoy it even knowing the plotline. I know that a reboot is probably never going to happen but even a movie would be great. Thanks for the video!
One of the best shows for balancing great characters, tense sequences and comedy. I will always love Eureka.
11:28 I remember an episode when they were halucinating and when asked "Baltar" says he halucinated about a "Tall leggy blonde, skimpy red dress" alluding to Tricia Helfer's chatracter(s?) in BSG re imagined It actually took me a "while" to figure that one out...
I loved the christmas specials.
Gods I miss this show. Though it could potentially come back...
One of the best sci-fi do shows ever!!! I miss it.
One of my favorites of all time. Loved the entire cast. The Ex-files was one of my favorite. The scenes with Nathan and Carter were awesome.
I loved this show. Can´t wait for Warehouse 13
My wife and I binge watch this show at least once a year. We love it!
I noticed you kept on showing footage of Saul Rubinek, but you never made mention that on top of being a great show, Eureka helped to spawn a (short-lived) shared universe of shows including Warehouse 13 and Alphas
Aw man, I forgot about Alphas! Why do they take away all the good things??
You reopened my Alphas wound lol
Eureka and Farscape are my 2 favorite sci-fi shows ever. Eureka was great at many things, not least of which was casting superb actors in guest roles. I recently did an X-Files rewatch and was startled to see so many actors I knew from Eureka doing their time in that show.
Eureka was awesome, amazing and incredible. I wasn't sure about the show until half way through the first season and then I was hooked . The cast was awesome and the writing was something we may never seen again on network TV. Collin was pure joy to watch and his comic timing was truly amazing. I have Bing watched the show several times and each time I laugh and I cry . There are few shows that need to be brought back .....farscape , Stargate sg1 , warehouse 13 and eureka are at the top of my list .
60 seconds in and I have decided to watch this show
I miss Eureka... It was such an amazing show.
I didn't start watching Eureka until after it was off the air. I watched the first two episodes and immediately bought all seasons off Amazon Prime. Binge watched the hell out of it, and still watch it through from time to time. It's a great show.
One of the best lines of the show came from Stark to Fargo.
"Keep pushing buttons Fargo!"
It perfectly emphasizes Fargo's curiosity of the world around him, and that he's not just some flunky, but a true scientist despite his bad luck.
Everyone in the town of Eureka is uncommonly good at something. In Jack's case, they figure out he's uncommonly good at common sense, so they bring him on board.
Yes, also acting as a crash test dummy.
I absolutely loved this show and Wharehouse 13. I have rewatched both several times. Well worth it.
I enjoyed this show so much! Lol Jo Lupo was my first crush
Thanks for this, Eureka was and still is, one of my fav shows ever. I can watch the show whenever I want, I have all 5 seasons on DVD. And like you I miss the show.
There are 2 other shows around this time which would fit this Gone by Not Forgotten which are Warehouse 13 and Haven. There is also Sanctuary, primeval: New World which is a spinoff of another show Primeval, Lost Girl, Defiance, Continuum, Bitten, Andromeda, and 12 Monkeys.
Was 12 Monkeys originally on SciFi? It's been so long, it stands alone in my mind.😄 But, at least it was allowed to end properly. A great recommend.
@@kflowers8276 I watched it on Hulu
@@reginaldkelly4269 Yeah, there and Netflix originally, is where I've done my rewatches. 👍🏾
I started watching your videos a few months ago,
And loved them.
Now that I see you're a fellow eureka fan I know I found my guy
I absolutely love EUREKA on the Sci-Fi Channel -- That's right! I refuse to say "SyFy." It's just wrong on so many levels.
That said, I'm happy that EUREKA and WAREHOUSE 13 are available on Peacock. I love both shows.
I loved this show so much and I loved how they treated their Christmas episodes. Hilarious, magical, and always surprising.
Loved Eureka. And its character crossovers with Warehouse 13.
Start of the year I visited my dad, and while I was visiting my dad I started watching Eureka, and I enjoyed it.
Eureka was 10/10 the ending was perfect! It still brings tears to my eyes thinking about how they ended it.
I found this show on Amazon Prime and was able to binge-watch all the seasons. Things always got real confusing at the beginning of each episode but then Henry Deacon shows up and makes sense of what's going on. I agree, he definitely was the best character.
The best episodes of _Eureka_ were the Christmas episodes, especially the one where the entire cast got turned into cartoon and 3-D clay-mation figures.
I found Eureka mid 2nd season ..... i have since watched the full series no less than 15 times... i will (at times) put it on while im working and watch it all within a weekend (give or take a day) lol... I simply LOVE EuRekA ..
I"d seen Colin Ferguson in a movie a couple of weeks before. Then I happened to be flipping through channels and saw his face on syfy channel and decided to see what the show was about. Luckily for me it was the pilot and was hooked from that moment. To the point that I've re-watch the show 2 times in a row on my rokue tv. Re-watching it again.
I would wait faithfully every summer for Euerka, warehouse 13 and Haven to come on, wishing they would make these shows regular shows that would start in September with more episodes.
Maybe someone needs to start a new channel and reboot this shows.
I've admired this show so much I'm surely going to start it over for the 6th time when my kids are old enough to sit and pay attention. That theme song is so comforting and nostalgic. 💜
Just rewatched a little while ago. Still just as good. Love this show.
Wish writing for TV shows were as creative now.
I cried when Eureka ended and warehouse 13 I miss it they need to make more
Great show.
Quirky, funny, thoughtful, and emotional.
You complain that EUReKA was promised a 6 episode final season, but was given only 1 extra episode on their last season. That may be true, but what an episode it was. It was probably the most satisfying, genuine show wrap-up I've ever seen. With one or two exceptions it neatly wrapped up almost all storylines, and did so with reverence to the heart of the show.
My favorite show of all time. I’ve rewatched it like four times. This era of the SYFY channel was its own golden age of television.
I used to dislike Zoe but she became the best character in the end. She was the “every teen” in this world of genius. We got to see what it was like to grow up in this town. I will agree that I think they kind of got confused as to what to do with her. I think had she started younger, like 12, and ended at high school graduation it would have been easier to have her grow as a character.
Yes. Zane was awful. Joe and Fargo had more chemistry and that would have been an amazing match.
I really loved Eureka, it had a great pilot and satisfying ending (though rushed) and excellence all the way through. It was a true gem and rare confluence of talent, I would have happily watched another 5 seasons.
I loved this show and discount Tom Jane
I love this series. One of my favorite characters is that dog that keeps outwitting everyone and never getting caught. I thought it was good character development that the trouble daughter of the sheriff eventually matured and became a good and smart student.
Absolutely one of my favorite shows. Also one of the reasons I didn’t give the expanse a shot when it first came out on sci fi. They cancel great shows just when they really get going.
Man, I love Eureka! When I was younger, I watched this show, and loved it. Watching it again gave me a lot of nostalgia, and I wish that there would continue their masterpiece. Nobody could've made any sci-fi show as good as this one.
Sarah will forever be my dream house. And she can sound like Fargo.
I always loathed AI concept shows & themes but Sarah was admittedly hard to hate.
my favourite character was fargo, and i loved the way they subtly linked warehouse 13 and eureka with fargo and claudia as love interests. many actors in eureka appeared in warehouse 13. i literally could not have survived lockdown without these two shows (and the librarians, another 'syfy' show with crossovers with these shows)
This must have popped up because i just found it on hulu and started rewatching for the fifth time. Absolutely fantastic series, I can only assume syfy ended it because it was better than wrestling. :(
Eureka, Sanctuary, and Warehouse 13! Back when Syfy made great original shows
I saw it when it first came out. Good stuff. It was a whimsical version x files.
Just finished binge-watching the show and feel like I've come to the end of an exhilarating roller coaster ride that I wish had never ended. Few shows offer more adventure and less conflict. The creativity was off the charts and the cast was superb. Now I'm obsessed with telling everyone about it like I did after discovering Outlander.
I loved Taggert but I don’t remember him being around for all that long after a few seasons.
Great video, when i stumbled across this series a few years ago I was instantly hooked. You're right about Joe Morton, his acting stands out, I've been a big fan since Brother From Another Planet back in 1984. If you like Eureka, good chance you'll like that movie which definitely rates high in 'quirk'.
Edit, addendum: For the really old, the term 'sci-fi' used to be hated by all science fiction fans because its first usage was as a pejorative back when science fiction was seen as crap by 'sophisticated' folks, s-f was the more accepted abbreviation. You're right about turning it into SyFy, it makes no sense and to me, it's annoying at best.
*HAPPY!* starring Christopher Meloni was one of the most bonkers and UNDERRATED syfy show, too bad it got CANCELLED just like any other syfy shows
It was fun, but VERY hard to keep with the overly sensitive brigade attacking it. My philosophy is, if you don't like a show, DON'T FUCKING WATCH IT!!
I know I'm late to this one and you probably wont see this. This was a good breakdown of the show. Your side tangent about SciFi/SyFy is actually part of the issue of WTF happened to the show. SciFi is a genre and couldnt be trademarked for merchandising. SyFy could be. The channel was changing and trying to gain revenue streams. I remember when Eureka came on and watched it weekly. Then somewhere it became a half season and then the second half of the season a year later. Then more delayed seasons. The spin-offs were nice, but shortlived in one and almost nonexistent in another. It was the story of a network trying to find their way (from SciFi to SyFy) and throwing a lot of stuff at the wall to see what worked. Reality shows and good scifi originals and wrestling all mixed together on a program schedule. Thanks for the breakdown!
I liked the first few season, but then it felt like things just got too ridiculous to keep the drama going.
I thought the same! The first two seasons were the best ^^
I just started watching ots not that bad is it
Absolutely, hands down, my FAVORITE T.V. show.
