Doctor Who
The good Doctor’s been flitting around time, space and the BBC since 1963. Now he’s also a fixture in the US, toting his curiously British brand of sci-fi in his highly mobile TARDIS. Just how safe is this contraption?
Eureka is a little girl growing up in a prehistoric world filled with woolly mammoths and dinosaurs. And the only thing she wants to do is make it a better place.
She’s always tinkering, dreaming, imagining and inventing awesome things to help the people and creatures around her. And no problem is too big to solve.
So whether she’s building a pulley system to help a mammoth get unstuck from a fallen tree, creating a self-sharpening pencil for her classmate or inventing the wheel, Eureka is constantly discovering and inventing new things.
Along the way, Eureka also learns some important lessons—such as how being different isn’t bad and that not everything needs to be new to be special.
Parents should note that despite no egregious content in most other episodes, the 13th episode of Eureka!, titled “Dippling Rivalry,” reveals that one prominent character has two LGBT moms.
Eureka faces unique challenges when she adopts a woolly mammoth as a pet. Then she tries to make a new friend at school by inventing new musical instruments.
People in Eureka’s village seem irritated with her constant tinkering. Eureka’s pet mammoth, Murphy, gets knocked around a bit by one of her inventions (though he’s unharmed). Murphy accidentally damages some property because of his large size.
Emily studied film and writing when she was in college. And when she isn’t being way too competitive while playing board games, she enjoys food, sleep, and geeking out with her husband indulging in their “nerdoms,” which is the collective fan cultures of everything they love, such as Star Wars, Star Trek, Stargate and Lord of the Rings.
