... Question: Has anyone noticed the parallels between Eureka and Longmire? Both have an unmarried sheriff with one daughter, a female deputy, a deputy who wants the sheriff's job (at least initially) and a wise best friend named Henry. There is also some romantic tension between the sheriff and his female deputy in both shows. Maybe it is all just coincidence, but it does seem curious. Could there be a connection? — Greg
Matt Roush: Seems a bit of a stretch. The details more or less match up, but the characters and the setting are so different in their particulars, not to mention the tone of each show, that I think you can write this off to coincidence. Though if a cheerfully robotic Deputy Andy suddenly shows up on Longmire next season, you may be on to something. (One more thing they have in common: I like both shows. And I miss Eureka something awful...)
Longmire season two premieres in 2013 on A&E TV.
