Eureka!

Cable tv has made it extremely easy to get sucked into a new or ongoing series and be caught up just in time for new episodes by way of series marathons. I am a sucker for a Sunday day long marathon. Last Sunday, as I was flipping from HGTV and Jon and Kate plus 8, I landed on my favorite channel for escapism, Sci Fi. Sci Fi was showing a marathon of the show Eureka. I will admit tat I’d seen it before, during the last marathon at the end of the summer, but I’d only seen a few episodes, not a days worth, so I was geeked that I could catch it from the beginning of second season.


Why does this show deserve a write up? Yes its full of sci fi techie science stuff, and yes its funny and imaginative, but best of all it has Salli Richardson! Need I say more? The show is set in a town called Eureka that is populated by a bunch of geniuses. They work for a government operated experimentation center where there big brains get to flex. They are balanced by an average joe Sheriff. Eureka is complete with smart cars, Prius’, automated homes and a diner that serves whatever you have a taste for. To complete the haven called Eureka are the strong, super smart women in high positions that are HOT and just so happen to be minorities. Salli Richardson and another hot tamale by the name of Erica Cerra make this show worth watching, at least for me. It’s also a plus if you like sci-fi and are sick of reality tv. (packing my bags, Eureka or bust!)
