Default Eureka

A few weeks ago I saw a really neat little program on the SciFi channel called Eureka. It is about a fictional community of geniuses that is built around a top secret government facility run by a darkly sinister looking guy. I LOVE THIS SHOW. The program is centered around the exploits of a "normal" sheriff (normal meaning he does not possess a 200 iq) as he tries to solve various little mysteries with the help of the local auto mechanic, fix-it guy (who is a genius and has some really neat gadgets). Wondering if any of you have seen it and what your thoughts are.
It really reminds me of one of the places that we landed for a time on one of +1's assignments.

I've seen it a couple of times. Pretty good so far, they haven't gone crazy with the story lines yet. The sheriff is pretty good.

I'll be on the lookout for it if it makes you laugh that much. Are you saying our Jim really IS a genius? And here I thought he was just another hairy-chested hunk!

Knowing how much you like sci-fi, I figured you'd like it. It's a good one, not too over-the-top yet. And yes, I do like it a lot.

YEAH! Tuesday is one of the nights I can watch TV!

Bummer! That was last night.

Cool, I have read scifi since I was in the 3rd grade. Unfortunately most hard scifi TV or movies don't live up to their promise.

The ones I tend like are coincidentally set in a scifi environment. Which I guess means they have a good story line.
