TV Tuesday: Eureka… or Yooreka?
Time for TV TUESDAY!
Hi! Welcome to another TV Tuesday! On Tuesdays, I plan to post blogs about my TV writing adventures, advice for aspiring TV writers, and any other industry-related topics.
Today’s blog is rather short because we’re coming off Memorial Day weekend! I decided to post all the links about my latest TV job as Producer on SyFy’s EUREKA series. I know many of you who follow me on Twitter are Eureka/sci fi fans. And for those of you who have not watched EUREKA yet… now’s your chance! Of course, I like to spell our show as “YOOREKA,” but for some reason, SyFy has not made the spelling change! 🙂
(Keep reading after the jump for some EUREKA info…)
EUREKA on SyFy
In a nutshell, EUREKA is a wonderful TV drama/comedy series about a secret town of geniuses who work on classified government projects. Of course, something is always going awry with some genius’ experiment, and it’s up to our hero Sheriff Jack Carter to save the day. Ironically, Carter is NOT a genius, but his common sense and Everyman sensibilities helps him see the forest for the trees, unlike our detail-obsessed scientists.

For a fun blog about my experience on the set of EUREKA for the filming of my episode, “Crossing Over” (the Warehouse 13/Eureka crossover event which aired during Season 4), go here:

Here’s my travel bear Bartlett and I on the set of EUREKA’s “Cafe Diem”…

And here’s me & actress Allison Scagliotti, who plays Claudia on WAREHOUSE 13, at the 2010 ComicCon in San Diego. (She played a major role when Claudia visits Eureka in my episode 405 “Crossing Over” which featured the Eureka/Warehouse 13 crossover event)…

Season 4.5 of EUREKA debuts on Monday July 11th at 8 PM, followed by Warehouse 13 and the new series Alphas. Stay tuned for future fun Eureka blogs as we get closer to our Season 4.5 debut date!
Until the next TV TUESDAY blog (which will feature more TV writing/industry advice etc.), Happy Writing! WRITE LIKE YOU MEAN IT! 🙂

Very fun, geeky, brainy show, with characters that are easy to identify with (well, maybe it helps to be a geek). It’s very cool that you’re a part of this, Paula – keep up the good work.
Hi Fitz. Thanks so much for your kind comment! Glad to hear you’re a fan of Eureka. It’s fun show and a privilege to write for it! 🙂
I LOVE LOVE LOVE EUREKA! And I love the Crossover episodes the best! Wish I could come for a visit! I love how it’s always Jack who comes up with the KISS answer to all their overthunk dilemmas! 😀
Awwww thanks! 🙂 It is a fun show to write for and everyone is a pleasure to work with! 🙂 Glad to have cool fans like onboard! 🙂
I’ve heard of Eureka before but haven’t ever watched it. Guess I’ll have to Netflix it! (Embarrassingly, I’ve not seen Warehouse 13 either…I’ve not caught a sf series since Firefly, which I’m still mourning the demise of.)
Both shows are a lot of fun! Thanks! Our new seasons debut July 11 and our latest DVD of season 4.0 comes out soon…
p.s. I loved your Yooreka pun as much as your Are Yoo Hungry show title suggestion. 😉
Ooooh, and I see in the Eureka blog that it’s shot in Vancouver…my home town! Now we really have to watch it (hubby and I like to watch things shot in Vancouver to catch all the sights and sites we know and love; it’s especially fun now that we live in the mid-west and miss Vancouver).
Oh that’s right, u r from Vancouver! BEAUTIFUL city!
