62. Doc Martin and Eureka
Wed Mar 11, 2026, 01:08 AM
Wednesday

Doc Martin is a comedy/drama British series about a renown London vascular surgeon, Martin Ellingham, who develops a blood-phobia and can't operate any more. He takes a job as a general practitioner in the Cornish fishing village of Portwenn. Martin is cold, aloof, has a poor bedside manner and thinks the locals in Portwenn are stupid. Some of the locals are eccentric and the interaction of the and Martin's personality make for very funny situations.

Eureka is a scifi/comedy centering around US Marshal Jack Carter. Jack is taking his runaway daughter, Zoe, to his ex-wife in L.A.. On their way, their car is in an accident and they spend the day in Eureka in the Pacific Northwest. However, not all is as it seem in Eureka. Eureka was founded by the federal government where geniuses could work and live to advance scientific knowledge. While in the town, a little boy disappears and the geniuses in the town can't figure out where he is. Jack quickly solved the problem and found the boy safe. Impressed by Jack's actions, the head of the town contacts the US Marshal's office and Jack gets reassigned as the town's sheriff. Jack has average intelligence in a town of geniuses and soon Jack is called upon to handle a lot of problems the geniuses caused.
