SYFY cancels 6th season of Eureka

Eureka has been a huge hit for the network dedicated to Sci Fi and like shows. The SYFY network which is now currently running Season 4.5 (I guess that is what they are calling these abbreviated seasons these days) said they will not stay with the show and won’t sign a season 6 despite plans to originally go ahead with at least 6 more episodes. At first there was a flurry of news that there would be at least 6 episodes for season 6 but for some odd reason and it can not be for ratings sake since it is one of the more hotter of the shows on SYFY they decided to decline any more seasons.

SYFY’s official response to this is as follows ;

“After painstaking consideration, we have had to make the difficult business decision to not order a season six of Eureka. But Eureka is not over yet. There is a new holiday episode this December and 12 stellar episodes set to debut next year, marking its fifth season and six memorable years on Syfy. The 2012 episodes are some of the best we’ve seen, and will bring this great series to a satisfying end. We are very grateful to Bruce Miller and Jaime Paglia, their team of incredible writers, and an amazing cast and crew who have consistently delivered a series we continue to be very proud of. We thank the fans for their support of this show and know they will enjoy its final season in 2012.“

Hopefully fan uproar will change their minds a bit. Seems like there original shows on SYFY are repetitive and anemic on originality . Somehow I can’t find myself watching anymore shows like Ghost Hunters and Destination Truth. They are good for what they are but if you going to clone them and try to make as many of those to fill time slots then SYFY is going to find themselves lost in space. Well that is my opinion and rant anyway.

I have been getting caught up on Eureka at DISHOnline.com. It’s free from my TV provider/employer DISH Network and there I can watch thousands of TV shows and movies On Demand. I got almost completely caught up with the series when I found Syfy cancelled it. I am very disappointed. That was one of the few good shows on the channel. Now I’m left with shows about haunted movie props? It must be about money. Why have shows with great writing and good special effects when we can watch a show about a haunted toaster from the set of Ghostbusters 2?
