You won’t often find a whole lot of buzz surrounding this little Sci-Fi Channel hit. Eureka is often overshadowed by both Stargate Atlantis and Battlestar Galactica, yet it manages to hold its own in the ratings department. It’s a very different show compared to those two, relying more on comedy than the heavy drama often depicted in say Battlestar Galactica.

Anchored by Colin Ferguson, Eureka is a decidedly light-hearted science fiction series which we definitely recommend newcomers checking out. Ferguson has done a very nice job playing Jack Carter, the town Sheriff.

Unlike the previous two seasons, Eureka received a huge order of episodes. Cable TV shows usually get around thirteen episodes ordered each year, but Eureka has been ordered to make 21 episodes, a task more familiar to big network shows. This is very good news for fans of the show, of course.

Be sure to check out the season premiere of Eureka tonight at 9pm ET/PT on SciFi Channel.
