Jack stumbles into the town of Eureka and very quickly gets caught up in a incident which leaves time flowing backwards. Eureka is not so much a town but a government facility where all the smartest people in the country live and invent... stuff. It just so happens that Eureka needs a new Sherrif, and Jack thanks to his demonstrations of lateral thinking gets the job.

This is not a programme to be taken seriously, it is a comedy show and a smart one at that- Sherriff Carter is supported by a cast of crazy geniuses, including his neurotic house, the obligatory love interest, and his rebellious teenage daughter. Between them they get into all sorts of wacky situations that in reality would never happen at a top secret government controlled town, but there you go- it wouldn't be funny if there was nothing odd going on.
There is a story arc, but it is so big that it seems a optional extra in this first season. Suffice to say all is not as it seems, and some of the accidents aren't so accidental...
Summary: If desperate housewives were all geniuses, there woud be no need for eureka
Advantages: Great series, new actors and faces, science and comedic aspects Disadvantages: Well if I saw none will you think I'm lying? well one way to find out ;)
...Tv, and all driven by a higher story going on throughout. Cater is really my favorite character the lovable "idiot" in a town of super geniuses , he bring real comedy and friendliness to the series and his interaction with all of the towns other characters is what will bring you back each time, that and to see if he actually gets it on with Allison. This series really has something for everyone its funny its interesting and if nothing else the special ...

DVD Description
A TOWN CALLED EUREKA combines the strangeness of THE X-FILES with the diverse characters of NORTHERN EXPOSURE to create an innovative sci-fi comedy drama. A car accident leads U.S. Marshal Jack Carter (Colin Ferguson) to the small town of Eureka. The town is the brainchild of Albert Einstein and President Truman, and has become a haven for the smartest people in the country. Though Eureka appears to be like any other small city in Northwest America, its denizens make sure their home is never normal as they create the innovations that power the rest of the globe. As Eureka is kept a secret from the outside world, Allison Blake (Salli Richardson-Whitfield) acts a bridge between the town and the Pentagon. She and Carter bump heads, but their rivalry is driven by a heated chemistry that gives the show some zing. This release includes the first series in its entirety.
