Eureka is an American science fiction television series set in a town inhabited almost entirely by geniuses. In the UK, it is known as A Town Called Eureka.
The Sci-Fi Channel has renewed Eureka for a third season of 13 episodes set to begin airing July 29. To what extent this will be affected by the 2007-2008 Writers Guild of America strike is unknown, although co-creator and Executive Producer Jaime Paglia has stated that it could in fact result in a larger order than the original 13 as a way to "help offset the financial impact of the production push."
Eureka takes place in a high-tech community, located somewhere in the Pacific Northwest and inhabited entirely by brilliant scientists working on new scientific advancements that frequently go awry. The town's location — indeed, its very existence — is a closely guarded secret.
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 being only slightly above average intelligence — and thus arguably the slowest-witted resident of a town full of super-geniuses — Jack Carter's uncanny ability to connect what others in the town do not see has repeatedly saved Eureka, and indeed the entire world, from one would-be disaster after another.
The location of Eureka has never been explicitly revealed in the series. However, various hints and passing references imply that the town is situated in Oregon, near the state capital Salem. There is an Oregon state flag in the Sheriff's office and S.A.R.A.H. (Self-Actuated Residential Automated Habitat), the artificial intelligence that manages the sheriff's house, widens a search for Jack's love interest to the entire state of Oregon. Also, in the episode "Primal", a close up of the divorce papers Allison Blake hands to Nathan Stark bears the seal of the State of Oregon, as well as the text "State of Oregon" and "Circuit Court County of Eureka" in the heading, and in the episode "Right as Raynes" Deputy Lupo discovers that Zoe and Raynes are at a bus station in "Summerville", which is the name of a town in Oregon.
The episodes of season one were not aired in the order intended by the show's creators. This is suggested by the episodes' production numbers which are displayed on the Sci-Fi channel's Eureka website next to episode titles quite often. There are some small inconsistencies when watched closely, but such inconsistencies are minimal and were intentionally controlled.
In podcast commentaries with the show's creators and star Colin Ferguson, they confirm that the production order is in fact the order they intended the show to air, but the network executives changed the order to try and place stronger episodes earlier in the run as to help attract viewers. As such, the creators were able to make minor changes in editing and sometimes dub dialogue in later episodes (such as removing the explicit mention of Zoe's first day at school) to try to eliminate audience confusion. Eureka was originally planned as an animated series.
Eureka was nominated for a 2007 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Special Visual Effects for a Series. The other nominees were Battlestar Galactica (the winner), Grey's Anatomy, Heroes, and Rome.
