I don't know. I bailed after 45 minutes. It's a pity that the SciFi channel hasn't found the secret yet about producing humorous sf. I miss that old show where the sheriff was an agent of the devil. (can't recall the name).

This one is "Eureka", a Sci Fi original about a town of apparently superiour beings. It looks to be some good quirky fun, especially fitting for the summer. Long as it doesn't suck, I'll give it a try, if for no other reason than the fact that Salli Richardson-Whitfield is in the series, looking more fetching than ever!

Truman commissioned a top-secret residential development in a remote area of the Pacific Northwest, one that would serve to protect and nurture America's most valuable intellectual resources. There our nation's greatest thinkers, the über-geniuses working on the next era of scientific achievement, would be able to live and work in a supportive environment. The best architects and planners were commissioned to design a welcoming place for these superlative geniuses to reside, an area that would offer the best education for their children, the best healthcare, the best amenities and quality of life. A community was created to rival the most idyllic of America's small towns with one major difference: this town would never appear on any maps. At least, none that haven't been classified "eyes only" by the Pentagon. > > Thus, the town of Eureka was born. But for all its familiar, small- town trappings, things in this secret hamlet are anything but ordinary. The stereotype of the absent-minded professor exists for a reason, and most of the quantum leaps in science and technology during the past 50 years were produced by Eureka's elite researchers. Unfortunately, scientific exploration is rarely what one expects, and years of experiments gone awry have yielded some peculiar by-products. > > From unrequited love to professional jealousy, from addiction to depression, the problems of Eureka's townsfolk stem from life's myriad of everyday challenges. But with the population's unique talents, troubled psyches and limitless resources, these small-town concerns have a way of becoming big-time problems. It is at that intersection, where human frailty and super-science collide, that Eureka begins . > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] > ------------------------ Yahoo!
