(I have not seen this, just read about it. Sounds like Asimov's _Foundation_ crossed with _Northern Exposure_)
_Small town eccentrics populate 'Eureka'_
In "Eureka" (debuting 9 p.m., EDT/PDT, Tuesday, July 18, Sci-Fi Channel), a lost U.S. marshal (Colin Ferguson) stumbles upon a hidden town where the government has tucked the world's greatest geniuses. Because everyone is so advanced, the town is no ordinary place.It's high-tech, futuristic and filled with eccentrics who are safe from the crazy people of today's world.
