Rewatching Old Friends--Jack, Jo, Fargo, Henry, Zane and Allison

If you name a TV show, any TV show, there is a huge possibility that I won't like it. Almost every show on Hulu might be one that I can't or won't watch, so many times I end up watching  my favorites on Netflix.

If enough time has passed, then it feels as if I'm meeting old friends after many months or years. Today, I started Eureka again on Netflix. At one time Netflix had all five seasons, but now only seasons 4 and 5 are available. I felt quite dejected when I realized I couldn't watch it from the beginning, but as I contemplated my sadness, I felt comforted by the thought I've seen the first three seasons many more times than the last two. So as I began to feel better, I remembered how much I love this show, and it's still number one on the list (Fringe is second).

I know that it's true love when I see such fault with a show and love it anyway, and Eureka has many faults. Every week there is a catastrophe in which one or more of the cast members or the entire town is building up to a point of death. All the scientists are trying their hardest to come up with a solution or cure. Sheriff Jack Carter says something in laymen's terms, and helps the scientists see the problem in another light. Then Carter must risk his life to follow through with the cure, by going right into the middle of the problem. Later, everyone sees each other at Cafe Diem and all is alright with the world. 

It's a silly premise, but the actors just make it work. I would love to live in this town, but you must have a PhD to do any job, even lowly jobs such as dry cleaner, chef or dog catcher. 

The biggest plus to residing in the town is Cafe Diem. All the food is free, and Vincent (who has a PhD in molecular gastronomy) can make any food that is asked for. I'm not sure I would or could ever leave the building.

I must go because my old friends can't move or talk without me, and I don't want to leave them hanging.
