In the days after God banished Adam and Eve from the Garden, His fairies, Faith, Hope, Serenity, Passion, and little Curiosity, were concerned about Him being sad and lonely.
Upon meeting The Creator in the Garden’s morning mist, the fairies asked if they could find Him new friends. God chuckled at the fairies’ concern and offered an alternative. “Would you like to find people to build a storehouse in which I can keep all of My unclaimed gifts and blessings?”
In the early days of the nineteenth century in Florida’s wilderness, Leo and Susan Bates set out to make a new home for themselves. After traveling no more than twenty miles in Florida’s gopher-hole pocked trails, their wagon shattered a wheel. In his strong, yet gentle manner, Leo proclaimed, “Well, Susan, honey, this must be where God wants us to be.
”
“You could be the recipient of unclaimed gifts and blessings! Just $29.95 to file a claim!”
Wasn’t there a show, about a warehouse, with “unclaimed gifts and blessings” of the opposite kind? Yeah, one of those made-for-SciFi things, filmed in Canada, Warehouse…13, right? Or 18 or something?
Geee, wonder where the idea for this one came from?
Warehouse 13. Really good show.
Agreed! We just got the entire series and “Eureka!” is good too.
I really enjoyed Eureka. Very clever bit. I always struggled with the female lead in W13. I found her abrasive and off-putting. I loved…Arnie? Wasn’t that the character’s name? No, Artie. I have always liked Saul Rubinstein. (I think that’s right, not bothering to look it up.)
Yes, Saul Rubinek – he of the mighty eyebrows! One of our favs too.
Love Eureka.
I had a bit of a problem with the crossover episodes, though. (Mostly because Fargo was 35+ and Claudia in her teens. In a different era, that wouldn’t be a problem, but in the 2000s, it’s rather squicky.)
Huh, I thought Fargo was late twenties or early-thirties, and she’s 19-20 but I can see your point! My wife has seen the show back then but I haven’t, so we’re on the 1st season yet.
I’m very sure that I thought Fargo was mid-to-late 20’s, at most, when the show started. But…who knows?
