Is this show any good? My wife got it for me for our anniversary because I was trying to find it on Netflix. The bluray set was a lot of money and I'm not sure I want to open it and risk not being able to return it. So any opinions on the show? Worth the large cash? Probably better off torrenting?

It is awesome. It takes a bit to get going, but personally one of my favorites, and has some amazing Henson's workshop non-star trek "Human with something strapped to their head" alien designs. Be sure and pick up the miniseries they wrapped the series up with, "The Peacekeeper wars."

I watched the entire series and couldn't get onboard. The characters were too two-dimensional too me.

+1. Very fun. Something else that rhymes with "one" and "fun."

I enjoyed it. Don't mind Hopwin, he doesn't like the creepy puppets.

Great show. Wonderful humor, with a lot of funny pop culture references thrown in. Highly recommended.

I just thought Chriton was an Australian caricature of what they think is a stereotypical American.

Yeah they dropped the ball there. He's far too educated and good looking.

In my opinion he was far too hot-headed, predictable and though highly educated he is dumber than a sack of bricks. For someone who supposedly developed hyper-drive he sure resorted to breaking and shooting **** way too much for my comfort.

That's my problem with Eureka. For a town of super smart people, they are all really, really dumb. In D&D terms their average INT may be 19, but their WIS a 5 or 6. Tops.
