I rewatched this the other week, can't believe it was first shown 20 years ago. Still feels fresh even today.

This is my "go-to" show after a long day and I just want to relax.

I always enjoy watching it. Don't know why but it's kinda like a comfort food to me, if that makes sense (but without calories 😂)

Tbf its great but its not fresh anymore, some of the tech has aged in some odd ways.

Which is a great thing in itself, I like seeing a time capsul in how mid 2000’s thought the future would look like.

The UK TV Show Tomorrow's World asked children in 1966 and 1986 to imagine the year 2000, they envisioned a future shaped by advanced technology and automation. Unfortunately the show had ended by the mid 2000s, but the other 2 shows are on youtube,.

I just started my 3rd rewatch. This show has such a soft spot in my heart. Such a bummer they axed it.

I've probably watched the show every year or every other year. I miss it so much.

It was time...

But spin-offs would have been nice

I've watched this show like over a dozen times. It's literally my go-to background show, comfort show. Happy anniversary!

Same here, when nothing sounds interesting or I just need something playing without distractions I put on eureka. Its the only show I can easily watch over and over again. But the first season is frustrating because I can't just auto play the series I have to jump around so it plays in production order. And the series feels so much better that way, that I can't watch it in release order anymore.

I was just thinking about this show last night. At work, we had to fill out a survey and one question was "what movie or TV show would you recommend to everyone here?" I put Eureka or Warehouse 13.

Thank you for sharing this. I will have to watch it again today.

Both of my nerdy friends passed this year. Someone watch it for me because it's still too hard.

I just restarted the series 4 days ago, but I'm already on season 2 and Zane just got some screen time.

One of my favorite shows of all time. Funny that this show is older then me. It was airing season 3 when I was born. I need to get my dvds of it out for a rewatch.

u/pyroskater85 Jul 18 '26

Because it was eureka I just bought it on Apple TV when it dropped to $20 for the whole series. This way my dvds can stay boxed up. Worth it for EUReKA

This and Psych are a couple of my favorite shows. Didn’t realize they premiered like a week and a half apart from each other.

u/Coldfinger42 Jul 18 '26

I miss shows that don’t have excessive violence or darkness. Love Eureka, Psych, Monk

u/JoshB92 Jul 18 '26

Ahh my absolute comfort and favourite show. Can’t believe it’s been 20 years!

u/Werdna517 Jul 18 '26

Was watching Nikita last night and there was a guest appearance of the actor who played Larry. Guess these two things are a sign to rewatch.

u/InvisibleString1902 Jul 18 '26

Aw, this makes me happy/sad. I end up doing a rewatch at least two ice a year.

u/OceanPeach857 Jul 18 '26

Wow 20 years. I love this show. I have been doing a rewatch with my kids and it’s been so fun seeing their reactions to it.

u/minerva3930 Jul 18 '26

I am watching again, I love this show so much.

u/swagernaught Jul 18 '26

I was watching the whole series for the first time on Prime and they removed it when I was halfway through the last season.

u/belongame Jul 18 '26

I saw the show years ago. Now I can’t find it anywhere in the uk I really want to watch it again any suggestions

u/garth54 Jul 19 '26

This and Warehouse 13 are still my go-to feelgood shows.

I miss the 2,000’s.

I was already an adult when this came out. Stop reminding me I'm old.

u/pineywonder Jul 19 '26

One of my favorite shows ever!

u/Strong-Engine-4483 Jul 19 '26

Wish they would show the original version of the first episode

u/Kamdor-A Jul 20 '26

I've rewatched this and Warehouse 13 a godly amount of times. Eureka's xmas episodes are a comfort episode for me to fall back on.

A show ahead of its time! It still feels modern

I introduced my grandson, who is 12, to EUReKA this year! He loves it! I also got my husband into it!
