Eureka explores the adventures within the titular town of Eureka, Oregon. The town harbors all of the greatest scientific minds in America, courtesy of the US Government, but the newly-minted Sheriff Jack Carter is a man of only average intelligence. Using his every-man logic, Carter must help the eccentric townsfolk avert increasingly bizarre scientific disasters, which begin to involve wild sci-fi concepts like the Akashic Records, alternate timelines, faster-than-light travel and virtual realities.

The eureka-warehouse 13-haven era syfy was honestly the best time to be alive and I’m so grateful I got to experience it
Was not expecting it but love it. Eureka is such an overlooked classic.
He actually has a video of best eureka episodes, from long ago. I watched it literally the *day* before this got uploaded~
I’ll have to check that out and see where the bank episode ranks… because I think that’s my favorite in the series purely because of the incredible physical comedy from Colin Ferguson.
Having gotten further into the video, he mentions it an hour into this video, including an on-screen link :D
Lets not forget pne of the best cameo's Grant Inmahara
The stakes were generally low, but it was a great show overall
I love Jack and Henry's friendship so much. I think it's genuinely my favorite relationship in the entire series.
I also really like how Jack and Lupo evolved over the years as well.
@@taylorcooper9845 I was gonna add that too. It starts very adversarial but it grows naturally. The scene I think of most with them showing is after a Fargo idea doesn't blow up immediately, they have this exchange. "I cleared my entire morning for this." "Me too." "Coffee?" "Coffee." Best example I've ever seen of friends who get each other.
Jacks relationship with nearly every character was special. I remember the scene where Taggart rocks up from being a way for so long and they run at each other and hug and pick each up, it felt so real. And every single scene with him and Stark was hilarious and you knew they were friends. Jack had a different dynamic with everyone and they all loved him but there were a couple of them like with Henry that were really deep. I think Colin was just the kind of naturally likable guy that these on screen friendships were a bit more than an act, you can't fake some of those interactions.
The complexities of it after Henry betrays him with the whole memory wiper thing is amazing as well.
god the sci-fi shows from this era were all so wild. Warehouse 13 and Haven would be awesome shows for you to cover, i feel like I haven't thought about them in years! loved the vid man
Oh god yes. I think they could have kept going with Warehouse 13. There were more stories they could have explored, I think.
They weren’t doing much in the way of hard sci-fi in the 2000s but I didn’t mind too much, mostly because most of the shows from that era didn’t try to get the audience to take their goofy science fiction seriously. Bad science fiction that’s intended to be believable is a lot more worrisome to me than trippy science-fantasy.
@@CortexNewsServiceEureka ended about when it’s time had come, I think, but I agree with you about Warehouse 13. That show felt like it still had some run left in it.
@@grahamstrouse1165 exactly. With Eureka, it felt like they had told the story they wanted. It was time. That's something a lot of shows don't get
@@CortexNewsService its so incredibly dumb the network decided to cancel all of its currently running shows so they could put all their money into a VIDEO GAME TIE IN SHOW THAT WAS ASS and lasted for 1 more season after they canceled everything!!
I am offended that you didnt even mention the best couple in the show once, sarah and andy were just so funny.
I kept waiting for him to mention it. I loved them together. And when he was off planet it was so sad
They should have gotten a spinoff
It was so obvious as to be condescending.
Wait if he legit didn’t mention that relationship, this whole review is suspect to me. Thanks for saving me an hour.
Lol, so much robo sex going on in the closet.
I loved this show. I binged it over a week while in college. I especially loved the bookend of Jack and his daughter seeing themselves drive into Eureka for the very first time, taking episode 1 time travel shenanigans and actually reframing it as time travel shenanigans from a future problem. I think my two real gripes about Eureka are that in season 3, they basically forget Kevin exists until they come back from 1947 and he's somehow no longer autistic. And that Henry both wiping Jack's mind of 4 years and having 4 years of memories is never brought up again.
especially that second one keeps popping up in my mind.....of course I still watch it anyway.
The constant rebooting is what makes Eureka hard to rewatch.
Things seeming to go well? Better have time travel paradox shenanigans get rid of that.
Those are my primary gripes as well
Yeah they could have done something simple like Henry getting jack something he really likes for christmas EVERY YEAR and Henry just "knowing he would like it"
Jack was and is such a healthy image of masculinity, it's a nice change of pace
And healthy male relationships and friendships. And no overtly sexual stuff. And strong women without being "men with boobs". And... well, it was a very well made show that I wish we could see the likes of again.
They ALL should've become HUGE stars after this show. I wonder if they were secretly punished for being in a show that divulged so many real DoD secrets, unwittingly or not...
Eureka was a unique show, I liked it even when it wasn't at its best. This and Warehouse 13 were the best... Better than anything on TV, and I still go back and watch the full series when I need a mental refresh.
Eureka is my favorite show of all time. Such a cool concept, executed perfectly. Wholesome and emotional at times. Deep, endearing characters. I can't help but always root for my boy, Jack. So frickin good.
Eureka is one of the coolest shows of that time period. Its my comfort show that reminds me of my mom. Thank you for this.
I love this show...
I was a teen when it was airing and discovered itunes and my mom's credit card and bought all the episodes at $2.99 indivudally.... mom was really upset with the $300 cell phone bill
watched it on my Ipod 32gb (not the touch just ... ipod).... those were the days
😂😂😂
Eureka is such an underrated gem. i absolutely love it even with its quirks
Finally! Eureka will always be one of my favorites sci-fi tv shows. I enjoy how you take these shows that filled my teenage years, and made me the wierdo that I am today, and explain their quirkiness so well. Now, only Warehouse 13 is left.
Warehouse 13 was the coolest concept to me as a kid, I cannot find it anywhere to bungee these days
24:10 "uh huh, uh huh, uh huh. so basically magic?"
that was perfect.
Your videos are awesome. You could make a video about a show where people watch paint dry for 30 minutes, and I'd probably still go "oh goodie" and click on it in my recommended.
Hey you can’t just use that Mike joke again! I see you, rice beater!!
Yeah, I would watch an Ahsoka retrospective. 😏
@@ImTakingYouToFlavorTown I was actually thinking The Joy of Painting with Bob Ross.
@@ImTakingYouToFlavorTown Oh God
Been rewatching Eureka recently, and have been perpetually dissapointed you didn’t have a full video on it, so this is a real treat.
Absolutely loved this show! It being a "cozy" show is dead on. Special shout out to that second Christmas special being one of the most memorable moments to me (loved the animation swapping and stuff) and oddly enough the finale.
The idea of the show ending where it began has stuck with me even years later and makes that pilot cooler.
It’s wild, I literally thought to myself yesterday “man I hope he does that Eureka show, the top 10 was really cool”.
Same LMAO, was just coming down here to leave this same comment
The song in the series finale is one of my all-time favorite written-for-television songs ever. Bear McCreary was firing on all cylinders composing that song!
I was glad to hear your comparison to The Andy Griffith Show, as I've always made that comparison myself. You've got a common sense sheriff, also a single father, taking care of a town full of weird but lovable citizens...the smart house called Sarah was a sci-fi version of "Aunt Bea". I always hoped they would have an episode where Sarah the smart house tried and failed to make home made dill pickles as a subplot...that's an Andy Griffith Show reference if you didn't get it...
I was always/still am on the fence about the timeline change in season 4. The only main thing that I was completely for was Andy being a main character, his attitude is so fun
Don't forget, SyFy also gave us The Expanse, one of the best sci-fi series ever.
Yes.
And killjoys
Farscape
This was my comfort show growing up, thanks for doing a video on it
I’m currently in the middle of a rewatch and will have to save this video for when I finish out the series. But I’m so happy you posted this! Eureka is such a little gem and barely anyone knows about it I feel.
Eureka was a bridge in my family. It had something everyone enjoyed about the show. My wife was not into sifi and she enjoyed the writing. It was family friendly, and the kids loved it for reasons I still don't quite understand. But then they also were really into shows like Warehouse 13, Once Upon a Time and Grimm. I have weird kids.
your kids sound just like me. ive watched all of those and loved them. only one you didnt bring up was psych
My all-time favorite show. Just amazing fun each episode. Frasier is a close second.
Meeting a fan of either of those shows is rare these days, so to meet someone else who has Eureka and Frasier in their top 3? I had to double check to see if this was a comment I left ..! (People don’t know what they’re missing with Frasier - I’m nervous about the upcoming reboot !)
@@caitlynmarie2677 Wow, same! They are both my comfort shows and almost always tend to be playing in the background when I'm working.
It's awesome to meet a fellow fan! Amazing really. The new show... I'm seeing as geriatric Frasier haha. I think it's going to be great. May take a few episodes to find their footing but I'm hoping it will be good! You're amazing! Thank you.
You're a big fan of extremely smart people in the Pacific Northwest, eh?
I am also a fan of both! ❤
@@MsDoIIy Welcome to the cool kids club 😁 Glad to meet another EurFrasier fan!
I loved this show when I was younger, it was one of my top 5 sci-fi shows, though I will say one of my favorite scenes was when they went full circle with the pilot scene where as Jack and Zoe are leaving town in the finale they pass themselves from the pilot as they are driving into Eureka.
It's remarkable that when I find your channel, see the "eureka episodes" video, and wish you had a eureka series retrospective video, the *literal next day* you come out with it. Talk about timing.
I used to *love* this show back in the day and this is a fun nostalgia trip.
It’s so rare to stumble across another “Eureka” fan out in the wild… but I know you guys are out there 🤍
(and I’m in the midst of rewatching the entirety of “Haven” again now, so nice to see that mentioned as part of the best lineup SyFy ever had.. along with “Farscape”, which everyone should go watch immediately whether they’ve seen it before or not!)
We're here. It was a fun show and there are Facebook groups that still follow it.
I’m so glad there are so many of us out here. I’m also a fan of Farscape thanks to my brother introducing me to the series.
@@JuriAmari “Farscape” is such a hidden gem (hidden from MOST people, not us cool kids, obviously!) and I love just putting it on and having it on in the background while im doing things (I do it with eureka too - easy episodes to just jump into when they catch your interest if it’s playing,you know?)
Eureka, WH13, Haven, Alphas, Wynonna Earp, Defiance
All absolutely golden.
Fringe, torchwood, dr who, maybe merlin and sanctuary???😢
The season 4 Blu-ray had the original version of the premier that was something like 6 or 8 minutes longer. You get to see the whole opening scene where Carter and Tess break up.
When it starts out, you're not even meant to realize that they're not really in the same room, until Tess flickers. And they kind of (quickly) go over the history that the audience has missed over the past in-canon year. (Apparently not much happens in Eureka when the audience isn't watching.) He _did_ go to visit her in Australia, they had a great time... and then he inevitably came back home to a different continent many months ago. And even though this is all being established in like 2-3 minutes of dialog, by the end of it, you're kind of on the same page as them. They've given this long-distance thing a thorough and extended try and it ain't working for either of them. And she mercifully is the one to say it out loud. The scene had to do the job of _very_ quickly bringing the whole Carter and Tess arc to an effective end, and I gotta say, it did so fairly competently... and then they cut it out and "snuck" a snippet of it into the "previously on". I too originally thought that I'd missed an episode.
The rest of the bits they cut out were mostly Carter and Grant trading more insults, plus a little extra padding here and there. But losing that opening scene was a bad call.
tbh havent watched the video yet but this is proof that eureka wasn't a fever dream i had and that's amazing on its own
Your videos are so great. I’m always so happy when you upload.
You talk about the shows I was curious to watch as a kid but never did.
I was a huge fan of the mini-series The Lost room! So when eureka and Warehouse 13 came out I had high hopes for them!
That's one of my favorites! Along with the other two.
Yes! My favorite miniseries of all time.
oh you are spoiling us with this, going back to the best show you have covered yet
My kids grew up watching "Eureka" and the animated Christmas Special for them is as important as "The Grinch" is for me.
Thanks for getting me to rewatch Eureka for the first time in years. Definitely one of my favorite comfort shows, right up there with Psych. It's quite literally one of two shows, along with Farscape, that I own in its entirety.
Great video! I love it when people talk about stuff they love. I would love to see you talk about Warehouse 13 someday
The timing on this is fascinating. I actually just recent started tearing through the series. I am currently on Season 3.
Is this your 1st time watching or is it a rewatch?
@@frozenpiper2 A rewatch up until the ship was stolen by the consortium. I hadn't seen past that yet.
@Blasted2Oblivion oh OK. I was wondering if you'd started season 4 yet. It's such a great show
@@frozenpiper2 Imagine my surprise finding out the show wasn't just canceled after that cliffhanger.
@Blasted2Oblivion lol. My friend didn't like the change but i loved it.
I love all of these series retrospectives, they're a ton of fun. Also, that final joke is too good
I really wish Eureka didn't end the way it did... Such a great show
They stopped EUREKA when it was still good
hi there! just wanted to say thank you for these retrospectives, they are so detailed and thoughtful and well put together, it's made me actually check out a lot of new shows after listening to your videos on them. always looking forward to your next video! keep up the fantastic work!
A fantastic treat after welding school. Thanks, Slip!
The Sopranos would be a great one to hear you breakdown next! Awesome video
Awww Rest in Peace Vincent. Taken too young 😢 Chris Gauthier your character on Eureka was hilariously well done.
The most underrated channel of all time. I don't know what id do if you stopped uploading. There's just nothing else like it.
One of my favorite series! Still have the entire series on DVD here~
There's a deleted scene in the season 3 Blu-rays where Carter is talking to Henry (while Henry's in prison) about the whole mind-wipe thing. Like he's remembered it on his own and now he's just straight up confronting Henry with it. It's been a while since I've watched it, so I don't recall how much of his memory he'd supposedly gotten back, but I know the scene was pretty short, so there wasn't much of a chance to go into detail.
I think it was just a casualty of the massive re-writes they had to do to season 3 when Salli Richardson-Whitfield got pregnant. From what they said on the commentary tracks, it seems like the creators honestly always intended to come back to it. Like it was even gonna be a major factor in their supposed final season 6. And then suddenly they were cancelled and given ONE more episode to try and wrap everything up. And all they could do was a sort of nod to it when Carter's about to step through another portal and says there's something familiar about it.
watched this when I was younger, was obsessed with this show
I love this show I watched so much syfy back in the day every Saturday and eureka was radical
Love this show. Absolutely a comfort show for me.
That Bethesda joke made me do a a spit take.
Great video! I was obsessed with this show when it aired, but I haven’t rewatched it in years!
This was a wildly underrated show. The acting and writing were top notch.
Thanks for the retrospec. Eureka wasn't my favorite sci-fi show, but I think I made it through one complete watch. It was nice to see a recap.
I'd love to see some videos about Warehouse 13 and Haven. I forgot about this era of the syfy channel 😂
Nice suggestion! Haven was one of my favorite shows at the time, I was obsessed! Sadly it seems no one talks about it.
With so many shows being recast and brought back, really should bring this show back. It was fun to watch.
I loved Eureka! It was an awesome show. Thanks for the retrospective of the series.
Oh my god...I completely forgot this show!! I loved it sooo much!! It came to Japan quite quickly and it was great!!!
Thanks for taking me back, slipmaker!!
Personally, I loved both Christmas episodes. I actually thought the animated version was outstanding. I love the series, have all the DVD's and watch them occasionally. This was nicely done. Thank you.
Although you've covered some series that I have watched, this is one of the ones that I didn't. A really energetic retrospective. Full of some great observations as well as some snappy humour.
Omg omg omg. I literally looked the exact title up not long ago and nothing fmrecent came up... I love this show!!! The setting, the people, the plots, the twists, the bad episodes, everything.
I found out about this show in 2020 and I loved watching it, one of my favorites.
I swear I was the biggest fan of this show growing up
Man, I just found You and it seems in the past we'd have maaaany topics to discuss, as You made a retrospective on all of my favorites series from 10-15 years (Fringe, Chuck, Eureka, Community, iZombie), so I'm guessing we have a very similar taste. It's shame that many people forget about such good series like Fringe or Eureka...
Omg yes, I have been hoping for this vid and you always pull through, thank you❤️
I miss Eureka so much. It was smart, yet funny. Great characters and storylines.
I loved eureka, i watched it as it came out and it was so much fun
this was super well written & i wholehardly agree with the review!! I would love a warehouse 13 retrospective!!!
One of my all time favorite shows
I actually loved the outlandishness of the second Christmas episode. I just think it was just goofy in a belly-laughing way. ❤
after having asked for this multiple times, thanks SlipMaker.
I somehow loved the callback to the pilot in the last episode, where Jack and Zoey see themselves in the other passing car.
ur channel is nostalgia critiqued fairly and honestly i stan 😂🤞🏾
I watched this so much, I have watched every season, and my favorite is the Christmas special, “Do You See What I See?”
A Weird science cover in the intro? Yes please
This show was really well marketed, I don't even remember which magazine it is but I remember there was a two page spread for this show with a whole bunch of wierd forced perspective in it. It's been easily like over a decade since I've seen it but I still remember it distinctly
Another awesome video! I would love for you to do a full series retrospective on warehouse 13 if you already haven't.
ok we definitely need Warehouse 13 Full Series Retrospective, it was one of my favourite shows back in the day and im sure its one of the greatest "monster of the week" shows ever
I love this series amd like your self ive watched it many times. Thankyou for the recap.
Hot damn I appreciate your content more than you can know Slip! You’re taste is impeccable and your videos are wel crafted and insightful!I can’t wait for the next drop!
I really appreciated that after the time travel arc they stuck with it till the end.
Also, the show was a banger.
Hey Slip please do Haven next. That was also a great show
This is a blast from the past, I always loved the show and will rarely pass up on an episode; it was like comfort food.
always nice to see a new Slip Maker video in my feed :)
Heck yeah! Can't wait to watch, you were the reason I watched Eureka!
These retrospectives are great!! Please do Haven!
Please please please tell me you’ll do a Warehouse 13 series retrospective. It was a favorite show of mine growing up, I’ve rewatched it 1000x and I think it (mostly) holds up
" I Do Over" is one of my best and well written episodes of all time.
This was something I plan to do a quinten-style deep dive on on my essay channel. I'm excited to hear your thoughts based on your other retros.
I've missed this show. It was so good. When I was young I dreamed about living in a town like that. Then the show came out and I fell in love with it. I must have watched the series half a dozen times over the years. I was just thinking about it the other day, as my wife and I are more or less out/ caught up on good shows to binge. I think this might just warrant another rewatch.
The Farscape tease at the beginning. Would pay money to see that show get a good retrospective treatment
Nice! Another video I'm going to exhaust instead of watching the show myself. I would really like you tackle an Atlanta retrospective.
This is my all-time favorite show.
The Maker of Slips has offered up a new analysis and a new show I'll have to check out. Today is a good day.
The Skyrim music at the end had me LOLing🤣.
Some of the past links were epic. How Saul Rubinek would guest starred as Dr. Carl Carlson (ironically becomes a superhero which if you have ever noticed that Stan Lee names his characters like that) but, then Warehouse 13 would turn out to be in the same universe because Allison Scagliotti guest starred later as her W13 character Claudia Donovan. And when members of Eureka would guest star as different characters on W13. From Joe, Henry, Zane, Fargo (But he would be the only one who would be his own character).
Lost room is still one of my favorite miniseries’s
Always makes my day when you upload. really would love a Mr. Robot retrospective.
Loved this series and funny enough I only started watching because the character Allison was played by Salli Richardson who played the voice of Elisa Maza on Gargoyles.
