When I first saw the promos for this show, I was excited about it but never sure what it was going to be about. Then I saw the pilot, I was still trying to figure out this quirky, poignant (okay maybe only a little), fun and funny show but I was hooked. TIVO was developed just for shows like this.
The cast is amazing and I am totally enthralled by Deputy Jo (Erica Cera) is great. Her interaction with Sheriff Jack Collin (Colin Ferguson) is a lot of fun and worth watching the show all by itself. Especially when Deputy Jo won't allow Sheriff Carter access to the advanced weapons cabinet until he passes a test. Joe Morton (Henry Deacon) is exceptional as the town mechanic and quantum physic tinkerer. Though there are questionable characters that I can't figure out (and don't know if I want to), like the nefarious Beverly Barlow (Debrah Farentino), why is she in Eureka if she's a spy and for who, another part of the U.S. Government or a foreign government. How DID she get into Eureka. And Ed Quinn as an equally nefarious Nathan Stark, whose character is more into prestige and money rather than betrayal.
The music by Mark Mothersbaugh (of Devo fame & composer of music for the hit children's TV show... RUGRATS) is absolutely fantastic. It's almost an antithesis of the show and because the show is so quirky to begin with, the music works.
This is one of the shows that I will be on the look out for to add to my DVD collection... but until, I won't be deleting this gem from my TIVO nor downloading it to VCR (don't watch them anymore... Boo Hoo!) Blessings all.
