Remember a show called Farscape?
Anybody else love Stargate Universe?
Well, if so, you can add Eureka to the list of good shows the SyFy Channel has canceled.
I'm pretty pissed about it, too. Sure, the science on Eureka was often, um, well. Wrong is such a harsh word. But I didn't mind, because the show was funny and bright and able to wink at itself. It had engaging characters, all well-written and masterfully portrayed. It was entertaining, and I'm not the easiest guy to entertain.
And now it's gone, because some blubbering dunderhead at SyFy decided it was too expensive to produce.
I'm sure it was expensive. Quality usually is. And I wouldn't be so angry about the cancellation if I had any confidence that Eureka would be replaced by something other than a lame supernatural reality show or a half-assed reboot of some obscure 80s failure.
Or, Chthulhu forbid, more wrestling.

(AP) An interview with SyFy Channel executives regarding the cancellation of 'Eureka' revealed that the network is moving toward a "drunker, more violent, criminally-insane demographic" which prefers shows centered around "wrestling, improbably large reptiles, and frequent appearances by semi-nude WWF celebrities liberally covered in body oil."
"We understand that some Eureka fans are upset, but frankly we don't give a crap," claimed one executive. "Have you seen my drink?"
"Isn't sci-fi supposed to be about giant snakes anyway?" asked another, as he fumbled with his bong. "Giant snakes and that Tiffany chick, right? Super."
The show destined to replace 'Eureka' in its Monday evening time slot, 'WrestlerSnake EXTREME," is already in production and will begin airing early next year.
