Honestly, one of the best characters the only character with decent story development and acting WAS H.G. (Jamie Murray).

Fixed that for yah.

I have enjoyed most of the series, tho I agree it had far more potential than they explored in the plotlines they used.

I thought it was always the show that the TV execs spent FAR too much time messing with.

Yeah. It is decent. Probably not great, but I actually liked it more than most shows on that network.

Cable execs don't know what to do with their success stories.

E.g. "The Walking Dead"

"yeah it's our top-rated show, so let's cut the budget by 2/3 next season."

They cut Eureka, their top-rated show that made a profit because it wasn't making ENOUGH profit.

Riiiight. Ranks up their with raise your lease rates, and the building sits vacant for 5 years. GREAT business decision.

Eureka had the same problems as Warehouse 13, and add to that the same story repeated over and over again with the same resolution in practically every episode.

I think the people who enjoyed it after the first season were watching primarily because of the sense of familiarity and lack of stressful suspense.

But turning off your brain for an hour isn't healthy. That show went on for several seasons too long.
