A community where the most brilliant scientists collaborate on research and inventions - this is a great premise for a TV show. Throw in a few ordinary people to bring the IQ average of the residents down a bit (so viewers can almost understand the scientists), and you've got a very entertaining formula (so to speak) for a series.\n\nThere are a lot of fun continuing characters on the show, as well as some very \"far out\" plotlines that keep the audience thinking as they watch the heroes unravel the causes of bizarre occurrences or behavior in Eureka.
