Was this any good? I remember seeing it on the sci-fi channel but never watching way back when

Shows that involve geniuses are tough if you arent impressed with the intelligence of the.characters. limitless and better off ted have geniuses in the main cast and have to dazzle the audience with it. Never saw this show but will give it a try one day.

It's aight. Fun, not too serious. Watched it with my parents years ago.

I turned it off after the first ep when the "le genius daughter of the cop" solved the problem the actual geniuses couldn't solve.

I liked it for some reason. It's addictive. His gf (Tess, I think ?) in the show is my wife.

It's okay. The problem is that the writing got steadily worse and drifted further away from its core concept over time. The whole setup of the show is
>Everyman becomes the sheriff in a town full of out-of-touch geniuses, tackling the mayhem of their super science with down-to-earth solutions that they overlook.
but the writers' depiction of the protagonist changed dramatically over the course of the show: In the first two seasons, he's portrayed as a cool, confident, competent investigator, who may not know much about quantum physics or bioengineering, but is often a step ahead of the town's super geniuses when it comes to figuring out the crisis of the week. But in the later seasons he's written as a much dumber character, solving problems by luck or brute force, often having to be led to a tech-tech solution by the brainiacs and then just serving as the disposable muscle to carry it out. By the last season you'd swear he was functionally retarded.

The first two seasons are still worth a watch, though.

Wasn't the.guy an appliance spokesman? Did they make.that.joke In The.series?

pretty comfy, at least in the early episodes
has the black dude from T2 in it

Is decent, if you liked stuff like Warehouse 13, it has the same tone.

Lot of shows from that era suffer from that problem. Burn Notice, White Collar, Warehouse 13.

It genuinely suffered from being a PG show. It had the potential to be great but the family-friendly angle held it back too much.

>can build a sentient robot, an ftl spaceship or a full dive VR rig in an afternoon when he's bored
>cannot physically restrain himself from pressing any unknown button he sees, in spite of the fact that everyone he knows is also a scientist working on dangerous quantum nuclear shit
What's his IQ?

>>218621705
Burn Notice didn't escape that era unscathed (buh dum tsh), but I think it probably suffered the least from character and concept degradation out of all of its contemporaries.
>>
>>218618788
It was okay. The main character being the supposed lowest IQ one in the town, only for him to be tard wrangling all the geniuses every episode was an interesting concept

>>218622666
Go back to hell, Satan.
>>
>>218622666
Can't say I agree Mr. Satan. After season 4 all the episodes revolved around that seasons villain while before that was relegated to a few episodes.
>>
>>218618788
It was alright.
