I made it all the way through, wasn't too terribly offended. But I was more in
awe of the images than anything else. md, I think the show you're thinking of
is "American Gothic".

miss that old show where the sheriff was an agent of the devil.

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! Whew!

America nearly lost the race to build the atomic bomb; it could not
risk such a close call again.

President Harry S. 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.

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.

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
