eureka; 2

ok, so this show is pretty formulaic.

something mysterious & sci-fi related happens in the town & the police get called in to solve the problem. just when it seems like they are never going to be able to crack the case, jack carter gets a brilliant idea & figures everything out. yay! end of episode.

but i still have to admit, for a show like this, the formula works pretty well. the characters aren't totally in-depth, & the plot is certainly repetitive. but, like i said in my entry about the dead zone, people like case-based television shows. it's hard to be glued to your television screen every week. it's nice to be able to tune in or out whenever you want.

that being said, i don't know if the characters or plot are strong enough to keep anyone tuning in all the time. but the show is definitely quirky & fun enough for me to want to tune in at least a little more. that is to say, i wouldn't go out of my way to watch more of this one, but if i turned on the television (& magically had the sci-fi channel) & it was on, i would watch it. at least, until i realized i had something better to be doing.

eureka is cute & entertaining enough. i like sci-fi, though. so who knows.
