Eureka (the logo of which appears as EUReKA) is an American science fiction television series that premiered on Syfy on July 18, 2006, and since then three full seasons have aired, and a fourth is currently being shown. The show is set in a fictional town called Eureka, Oregon in the Pacific Northwest inhabited almost entirely by geniuses and scientists. Nearly everyone in Eureka works for Global Dynamics, a huge advanced research facility responsible for the development of all major technological breakthroughs in the last 50 years. Each episode features a mysterious accidental or intentional misuse of technology which is then solved by the town Sheriff, Jack Carter with the help of town scientists. There is also a story arc concerning a mysterious artifact that has had an appearance in both the first and second seasons.
It was created by Andrew Cosby and Jamie Paglia and is produced by Universal Media Studios. The season one original music was composed by Mutato Muzika and season two and three were composed by Bear McCreary. The executive producers of the current season are Paglia, Charles Grant Craig, and Thania St. John. While lacking in strong critical acclaim, Eureka has been a popular success, averaging 3.2 million viewers during the second half of season three. In 2007 Eureka was nominated for the Emmy Award for Outstanding Visual Effects for a Series and won the Leo Award for Best Visual Effects in a Dramatic Series. In the United Kingdom, on the Sky TV channel, the show is known as A Town Called Eureka although it is also shown under its original name on the BT Vision platform. It was announced on July 24, 2009 that the show had been picked up for a 22 episode fourth season, which premiered on July 9, 2010.
