Eureka - Cancelled!
It seems the US SyFy Channel just don’t think they are quite hated enough by fans after cancelling Stargate Universe. So to really upset people, they’ve now decided (after the traditional brief denial), to cancel Eureka.
SyFy US had originally annouced they were going to shorten Eureka season 6 to just 6 episodes, which at least would have given the show time to wrap things up… But then they though:
…actually, screw that! How are we going to keep are rep as the US’s douchiest TV channel if we give a show a chance at a proper ending! We’ll just cancel Eureka season 6 all together… Send out the usual sob story press release. You know, the “difficult business decision” blah blah “very grateful to amazing cast and crew” etc, etc…’ one. You should know the drill by now!
So, there’s a Christmas episode and 12 episodes of season 5 coming in 2012 – plus the rest of season 4 we haven’t seen in the UK, and that’s your lot…
Eureka season 4b starts at SyFy UK tonight at 9pm.
I know you might be thinking ‘so why are you promoting the show tonight?’… Well, i think its fine to vent at SyFy UK, but it’d be a bit unfair to go blaming them for the US cancelling the show… I bet the SyFy UK guys would have saved it if they could, but they have about as much control over what the US SyFy network does as we do!..

I think US SyFy Channel have made the biggest mistake in history by cancelling Eureka. It is one of the best shows on tv at the moment.
When is series 5 being shown in UK?
OMG!!!!! What on earth us going on, i cant believe they have cancelled eureka, i just went to sit down to watch tonights episode on syfi and couldnt seem to find it on the planner so i thought mayb they have just moved it due to easter!!! But omg its gone, what am i gonna do without my nightly fix of jack and the rest of them!!! Pleeeeeeease bring it back!! :-(
Its very sad to hear that eureka is being axed, the U.S cant seem to keep a goodthing going. When do we start to see eureka back on oour screens in the U.K? Just watched the last episode today and checked on my Virgin Media planned series links to see that there are no planned recordings? Please re-think about scrapping the best program on tv.
I can’t believe this show is being cancelled. Its one of the very few TV shows I won’t miss.
If anybody wants to start a petition to keep it then I’ll be first to sign.
I totally agree with you, although wacky at times our family never missed an episode. We thoroughly enjoyed it
will there be a christmas special this year if so when will to be on tv
Doctor Who was cancelled once – the fans kept the show alive until the idiots who tried to kill Who off left the BBC – now, it is top ranking again and sales of the old shows are top sellers.
We told them so ! It took us years, but we won :-)
i’ll join any any petition to keep Eureka on air
I am soooo monumentally pissed off about this cancellation. I’ve never been so upset about the cancellation of a TV show. I seriously need to win huge amounts on the Euro Lotto this week, and offer the creators the money to continue.
Rant (and fantasizing) over!!
EVERYTIME i really like a series…some plonker cancels it!! *******
Great competition and I would love to win it.
