Airdate: July 10th, 2009Episode Title: "Welcome Back Carter
Episode #: 401 (Season 4, Episode 1)
Starring: Colin Ferguson, Joe Morton, Jordan Hinson, Erica Cerra, Salli Richardson-Whitfield
Tucked away in California, there is a town called Eureka. A town populated by geniuses, that experiment with technology unseen and unknown by the public eye. Eureka center around Sheriff Jack Carter, the everyday man stuck in a town where bizarre things are an everyday occurrence. Using his common sense and wit, Jack (Colin Ferguson) and his daughter Zoe (Jordan Hinson) help stop would-be disasters every week created by the strange experiments and developments at Global Dynamic, a government agency that funds all of Eureka's scientific work.
The fourth season opens with Jack, having recently been fired as sheriff, job-hunting with the department of homeland security. Meanwhile, a new sheriff is brought in to replace him, a way-to-friendly, perect superrobot manufactured by Eureka called Sheriff Andy. When mysterious gravity holes being to cripple buildings, trees and cars, Jack is too curious not to investigate the strange circumstances, and soon realizes someone is trying to kill the new sheriff and get him back. What makes Eureka a good show is the characters. It has intresting, quirky, nerds like Fargo (Neil Grayston), and Vincent (Chris Gautier) and also has bold, daring characters such as Deputy Sheriff Jo (Erica Cerra). Alike NCIS, this show is more about the characters and their interactions that about the disaster of the week. Even with all the techno babble and advanced technology, Eureka goes to show that it all means nothing without the people using it. Eureka has a little bit of everything, a little drama, a little humor, a little sci-fi, a little romance, and a little education, which makes it a good summer series and a pleasure to watch. I hadn't watched the first three seasons, but I'm glad I finally sat down and joined in for the fourth season. I would have to say Eureka is a good show for just about anyone.
