In the UK it used the title ' A Town Called Eureka ' and Season three is now in Production.

Take it from me there is several large websites with Podcasts etc etc + of course the Season 1 DVD comes with ' ten Hours ' of Bonus material.

If you are into the ' X Files ' or ' Taken ' then you will love ' EUReKA '

once you buy into the concept { see below } you will be hooked .

A (CONFIDENTIAL) TOWN HISTORY

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

5.0 out of 5 stars Not a dud episode yet :)

This is the kind of story I wish I had written. Though in all honesty the number of wacky inventions involved in the plot would have taken me eons to come up with.

A Town Called Eureka is a sci-fi comedy drama, I love that it can have me peeking through my fingers in fear (very x-files style) and then laughing out loud the next moment.

Well back to the story. While swerving to avoid a dog in the road, U.S. Marshal Jack Carter, ends up in a car accident that totally disables his car. He makes his way to the nearest town, a small place called Eureka. The town is the brainchild of Albert Einstein and President Truman, and has become a haven for the smartest people in the country. On the face of it Eureka appears to be like any other small city in Northwest America, except after half an hour there Carter begins to suspect this is a place like no other.

The denizens of Eureka ensure that their town is never normal, they do after all create the innovations that power the rest of the globe. As Eureka is kept a secret from the outside world government official Allison Blake acts a bridge between the town and the Pentagon.

Due to a wacky experiment gone wrong Carter is sucked into the task team trying to save Eureka and the rest of the world from a space/time rift. He ends up becoming an integral member of Eurekan society and though he's often at loggerheads with Allison, they have a great on screen chemistry that adds an extra zing to the show. The real comedy however come from a rather put upon young scientist called Fargo, a deputy police officer who's kind of a G I Jane and a mad Australian tracker/ geneticist. The shows one for all the family. Teens will enjoy most of it and are likely to connect with Carter's rebellious daughter, Zoe.

I seem to be loving everything I see, it's another 10/10 (though perhaps I should say 9.99999/10 since I was a bit annoyed about all the product placements - watch the screen savers in the labs and all sorts of other brands cropping up)

5.0 out of 5 stars ACE SERIES LOVE EVERY MINUTE. Description NOT correct? this is NOT 60 minutes long?! sellers pls update
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 October 2011

if this is the complete series surely it should have at leaset 6 to 9 hours of episodes on it not 60 minutes- the equivalent of one episode. could someone please help as i dont want to buy this to find it is only one or two episodes on it which i have saved on sky. i love what i have seen of this series so far so am interested in buying it.

Ok i never got an answer to the above but bought it anyway. This is amazing, brilliant fun zany ideas, fun new ideas, wonderful entertainment. Am waiting series 3 and 4 to be "complete" as this is. Mine contained every episode of series 1.

Town called Eureka:

remains fresh with cool ideas, strange effects, various people getting into trouble whilst others get them out of it.

People usually get the credit for the help they give so there isnt this, saving the day but being treated like an idiot kind of thing that i have seen in some programs.

the series moves on, never stagnating, so retains my interest on a few levels.

There are some programs (obviously i wont name them) where the character's powers are still secret after 3 series, where he is always saving peoples lives, never gets the credit and is still treated as the idiot 3 series on, so no progression of the story seems to have been made, which is frustrating.

None of this with a Town called Eureka, the story line progresses naturally as life does. Still zany fun and serious things happen to make you laugh and cry. Interesting time travel and alsorts of amazing events due to science.

Highly entertaining, highly recommend to those who love sci fi - and i love where it overlaps with Warehouse 13. Not giving anything away as this is advertised.

If you love Warehouse 13 and Sci fi - you should love this, I hope.

5.0 out of 5 stars Small town. Big Secrets.

I got this primarily so I could bone up for the crossover episode in season 2 of Warehouse 13, but this turned out to be a really good show with plenty of likeable characters, quirky humor and interesting storylines. My aunt even likes watching it with me. Here’s an episode guide, with synopsizes from the DVD box.

1. Pilot: After U.S. Marshall Jack Carter and his fugitive daughter find themselves lost on a lonely back road, their chance arrival in an odd small town will change their travel plans forever. This is better than the pilots for Warehouse 13 and Alphas. A+

2. Many Happy Returns: Home sweet home gets a new twist when Jack moves into a “smart house” with a mind of its own, and a former resident of Eureka returns to find out why she’s been reported dead. A

3. Before I forget: Memory lapses prove deadly when Jack suspects a visiting scientist of tampering with residents’ minds for his own benefit. A

4. Alienated: Messages from outer space have some Eureka residents convinced that a visiting legislator is much more dangerous than he seems. B+

5. Invincible: When an accidental lab explosion destroys years of research on cellular regeneration, a sensitive scientist finds himself biochemically altered beyond his wildest dreams.
A+

6. Dr. Nobel:
When Fargo accidentally activates long-forgotten Cold War missiles, it’s up to Jack to find the computer’s source before Eureka becomes a giant crater. This isn’t the best episode, but it’s not bad. B

7. Blink: Jack’s in the ultimate race for survival when some Section 5 employees access a top-secret drug that makes them too speedy to catch. A

8. Right as Raynes: Rebellious behavior has Jack scratching his head when Zoe acts out while he traces an annoying citywide computer glitch to a charismatic programmer. An excellent episode, with a touching ending. A+

9. Primal: The fate of Eureka depends on a kiss when Jack discovers that robot nanoids have begun replicating themselves, and the only way to stop them is to make Stark jealous by kissing Allison. This would have been a good episode, if it weren’t for the fact that Taggert’s incompetence probably lead to the problem of the week (A couple people getting killed is on his head, and he doesn’t seem to feel anything.). If he had properly put the lid on the nanoids and they still managed to escape it would have been a pretty good episode. C-

10. Purple Haze: Change is in the air when Eureka residents wake up after a typically calm night with absolutely none of their former inhibitions. A+

11. H.O.U.S.E. Rules: House-hunting takes on a new meaning when Jack, Allison, Stark, Beverly, Fargo and Henry are trapped in the “smart house” with its devilish alter ego, B.R.A.D. Like with Primal this episode is one scene away from being good. There are plenty of great scenes, but one ruins it for me (I don’t want to spoil it; you’ll probably know it when you see it). C

12. Once in a Lifetime: The space-time continuum is severely tested when the 2,010 residents of Eureka discover they’ve been living in an alternate timeline and the “real” future is encroaching on their idyllic world. An excellent season finale. A+

I ordered season 2 after watching the first 8 episodes, and am really looking forward to it and the future seasons, especially the episodes Crossing Over (where Claudia from Warehouse 13 goes to Eureka) and Do You See What I See (which sounds awesome).
