Is it worth it to get back into this show?

I followed this Eureka in it's first 2 seasons and i liked it quite a bit but somehow it seems to have slipped away from me (the same thing happened to doctor who). It wasn't that i didn't like it anymore, I was just busy when it was on and never caught up.

So now (in whichever season it's on now) will it be worth it to catch up with the show on dvd? Honestly i haven't heard much about since I stopped watching so I don't know if it's still good.

Anyone help me out, please and thanks.

If you have'nt seen Eureka in a while i suggest you rent a season boxset you haven't seen before you actually buy it in case you don't like it

I'd have to say no. Im not sure why this show has the fanbase it does. I watch it...but im not sure why(probably because everything good is between seasons). It's not good drama, its not good science fiction and its not good comedy. Its somehow a blend of all three categories into mediocrity. It like watching a sci-fi show that is all technobabble. Its the equivalent to watching an episode of a sci-fi show if there was no action or exploration, and scientists just sit around trying to figure out their wacky new gadget...week after week. No excitement to be had, its not like anyone in Eureka could get injured or die as a result of these situations. They just don't do that in this show. Nobody is ever in any real danger in this show so there is no tension to be had. Its all G-rated fluff. No substance, no fun. If you could watch Stargate as the "Colonel Carter and Daniel Jackson Show" (in other words just the science/explanation/gadgetry parts of sci-fi) then I suppose you'd enjoy the borefest that is Eureka. In my opinion, and that all this is, your really not missing much. All the good shows will be back for the fall.

I know how that is...I slipped on watching Lost for a while after Season 1 and never got back into it...that of course, is one of those shows you have to watch every episode of to have a clue as to what's going on. In answer to your question, though, I definitely think it's worth it to catch up on Eureka...at least through the 1st half of season 3. The current season, which I believe is ending next week, is called 3.5, and has been just ok. None of the epis were bad, just not as stellar as they've been in the past...there have been a few I really liked though. I'm hoping for more of the Eureka I fell in love with when the show returns next year.

yes it would be worth it to buy the dvd or just watch the epidoes u missed on line (way cheaper) the characters are getting much more intersting and so are the story lines. trust me u wont regret it.
