While I agree about Smallville, I cannot understand why they broke Eureka and continue to keep breaking it. The rating are good?!?!?

Eureka has basically become a totally different show, calling itself Eureka, and now Smallville's two most popular stars have left. My every sane definition, these shows are done. They have finished what they started. Why continue something that you know to be broken, when you can start something new that works?
