Does anyone else watch this show? I'm catching up on the second season on my DVR now, and it was picked up for a third starting next summer. It can be pretty damn funny at times. Here's the description of the show from scifi.com
As World War II came to a close with mushroom clouds over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the impact that science and technology would have on the continued security of our world became catastrophically apparent. America nearly lost the race to build the atomic bomb; it could not risk such a close call again.
With the help of Albert Einstein and other trusted advisors, 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.
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….
I thought Season One was decent. Season Two not so much especially the last 3-4 episodes. I really did not enjoy the whole Artifact/Beverly/Kevin story arc at all. I much prefer the 'stand alone' episodes when each one is a seperate adventure without having to tie into a central storyline. Season 2 also needed more Matt Frewer.
yeah, his scenes in the 'Duck, Duck, Goose' episode were my favorite...now that I think about it, he was around a lot more in season 1, wasn't he? I have also been watching Taken, and he was in several episodes of that as well.
I enjoyed both seasons, but I think they've boxed themselves in a little too much with the several ongoing subplots they're working on. But, at the end of the day, it's better entertainment than most that's out there.

Too often it seems it is the peaceful and innocent who are slaughtered. In this a lesson may be found that it may not be prudential to be either too peaceful or too innocent. One does not survive with wolves by becoming a sheep.
Comcast DVRs can be set to record by show, with an option to only grab new ones. Don't know if that hrealps you.
I think this show is pretty cool, especially considering it's a Sci-Fi original.
"There is at least as much need to curb the cruel greed and arrogance of part of the world of capital, to curb the cruel greed and violence of part of the world of labor, as to check a cruel and unhealthy militarism in international relationships." -Theodore Roosevelt
I have AT&T Uverse. I could do that if the show was on in the next week, even if it was just a rerun. If the show is not listed on the current schedule, I cannot figure out how, or if, I can add it.
I watched season 1 and while I thought it was cute, it didn't really hook me enough to watch season 2.
