Eureka! I found a new show to contend for my heart!
Last night whilst combing through the ever expanding netflix queue, I decided to give a new show a shot. That show? Eureka, a syfy (still hate that name) series that is full of people I know from movies and other series (hello Miles Dyson) and is honestly one of the most endearing shows I’ve seen in a while. Usually a show needs a few episodes to get off its feet, two of my favorite current shows, 30 Rock and Community, both had this starting hiccup where it seems the writers don’t have the characters fully realized yet and it seems as if this world just didn’t exist before you got there, then they either stumble or hit a stride. Both of the previously mentioned shows vie for my favorite show on television titles and are highly recommended.
Poor Alison…Olivia, I will not miss you.
It is really strange that I haven’t seen an episode of aots in well over a year and the one night I randomly tune in the new co-host is named. Strange, but cool. She seems pretty awesome.
A short resumé:

As much as I liked O.munn I’m not really sad to see her go. I was hoping Alison Haislip was going to get the job. Oh well.
Good riddance Munn, now stay out of my daily show!
Agreed.
triple agreed!
I’m just curious how it all went down, because there are probably a handful of people that are very pissed right now. Munn also isn’t saying a peep about it.
She needed to check her ego at the door. Was Big Stan supposed to be her big break?
I’m not going to lie, would have rather had Haislip on this one, but since they don’t broadcast on DirecTV and don’t air full episodes in any other format, I’m not going to miss this much anyways.
I haven’t really watched the show in about 3 years and I can tell you that I don’t really miss it either. I did catch a few episodes with Haislip last month and I thought she and Kevin had good chemistry.
I feel out of the loop… why would people be mad about this? She seems nice enough? Was the job supposed to go to someone else?
You’re not really “out of the loop” buddy, but I’ll break it down for you. Munn started taking “breaks” from the show to work on other projects and promote her book. They started getting fill in hosts to take her place, but eventually everyone realized she just wasn’t coming back. The show never officially announced she was leaving, but everyone had a gut feeling. No less than a half dozen different ladies “tried out” for the position, but most people expected Alison Haislip to get the job since she had been with the network the longest, and always served as backup host.
