SyFy got it right this time WOW!!!
great!
This is great news especially in light of Eureka being cancelled! I love SyFy and also watch Haven and Destination Truth. I hope reruns will be put into rotation like Stargate:SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis. It was a huge loss when these two shows were also cancelled but glad to be able to watch the reruns!
Great news for my favorite show!
Happy dance, happy dance!
Yeah, SyFy can actually renew real SciFi shows…
I would never have guessed…
/sarcasm
I really enjoy this show! And, as long as they keep “Haven” as well (which is my favorite show!), I will be very happy!
Totally agree!! They had better keep Haven because right now all I have left to watch is Haven and Warehouse 13. They took SG-1 away and now Eureka! Grrrrrrr Syfy you really suck when it comes to picking what shows to keep and not keep. I rated all these shows for my viewing survey….but honestly its SUMMER! People don’t have time to watch tv as much as they do in the winter!
Great news one of my favorite shows!
It’s ‘Eureka’ lite but still enjoyable with a good cast-glad to see it renewed (especially a fan of Joanne Kelly).
