FORT WORTH STAR TELEGRAM: 'Eureka' found creative way to connect with audience

Most of the time, you never know whether a TV series will be a long-running success or a dead-on-arrival flop until it's actually on the air.
But in the case of Eureka, a Syfy channel viewer favorite that begins its farewell season at 10/9C Monday, leading man Colin Ferguson knew it would be a home run all along.
He had it on good authority. A psychic told him so.
"We were shooting the pilot and in the hotel where we were staying there was a psychic convention," says Ferguson, who plays Jack Carter, the sheriff in a top-secret town of scientific geniuses. "Salli Richardson-Whitfield and I went and actually had our futures read.
"The psychic said, 'It's going to go for a while, but it's not going to be what you think it is.' And nothing could be more true."
Eureka -- which seems as if it has been on longer than four seasons because some seasons were stretched out over two years -- has never been a conventional show, even by sci-fi standards...
Eureka season five premieres Monday, April 16, 2012 at 10/9C on Syfy.
