A Town Called Eureka

For years, the government has been relocating the world's geniuses (and their families) to the picturesque Pacific Northwest town of Eureka, where daily life straddles the line
between unprecedented innovation and total chaos.

U.S. Marshal Jack Carter (Colin Ferguson) finds this out firsthand when he wrecks his car and becomes stranded there.

After the town's eccentric inhabitants unleash a scientific creation still unknown to the
outside world, Carter steps in to restore order and consequently is let in on one of our
country's best-kept secrets.

A programme that they need to do but won't. It is becoming obvious that Carter is very intelligent but under educated, probably willfuly so. So what about a programme showing the difference between an educated IQ and a social IQ.
