 		[EXTENDED AR] Eureka (USA TV show)
the house in the show S.A.R.A.H. has a twitter
http://twitter.com/_S_A_R_A_H_

I'm not sure when she started twittering, but here is the oldest general twitter I could find:
Quote:
Following and being followed. Figuratively speaking, of course. 12:53 PM July 11, 2008 from web


She appears to answer her followers as well.
Quote:
It's another beautiful day in the neighborhood. The birds are singing and radiation levels are normal. 08:15 AM July 13, 2008 from web

Courtesy of a well-placed speaker phone, my voice was just heard at Comic-Con. Thanks Fargo. 05:45 PM July 26, 2008 from web

I'm not at Comic-Con because I can't move, but my name and my Twitter account were just mentioned at the Eureka panel. Hello everyone! 05:23 PM July 26, 2008 from web

Sigh. Now that those drones are under control, I'm hearing about problems in Lab 27... 02:55 PM July 30, 2008 from web


She makes direct references to items related to the upcoming episode (and sometimes a postscript). And she doesn't like Stark. She's very protective of the humans that inhabit her.

Almost time for the annual Eureka dog show! Fargo's determined to win. Those dogs have more in common with me than you might think... 12:50 PM August 06, 2008 from web

Keep on eye on Fifi tonight. I'm not so sure about that dog... 12:10 PM August 12, 2008 from web


This popped up today:
Quote:
Security sensors have detected an alert concerning a Mary Perkins. If you have information regarding her whereabouts, call 202-640-3864. 21 minutes ago from web

It'sa working number with a message (although it doesn't sound like SARAH). It asks you to leave a message if you have seen this Mary person. I haven't seen this week's episode so I don't know what it is about. But for laughs, I didn't identify myself but did leave a message that facial recognition ID'd "Mary Perkins" playing slots at the Caesars Palace Casino in Las Vegas.

 		GAH I can't believe I missed this. According to an AdFreak article you can call the number on those fake HSN commercials and it works...might be part of this.

More products here

Going through SARAH's many twitter responses to people, I think it's the same AR since the commercials were blatantly sponsored by Degree and SARAH twittered the following:

Quote:
@woodstockdc Have you heard of Degree Men Absolute Protection? It's the same anti-perspirant that Sheriff Carter uses. about 22 hours ago from web in reply to woodstockdc


It's kinda funny...we were just talking about how product placement in Eureka in the META section.

Also: this was so funny it needed to be shared.

FURTHER EDIT

People at SciFi.com have been following this...apparently the number also showed up on the show. Here's the link to what the phone number has historically said. It also showed up on the writers' blog

I haven't called the number, but an ad w/ SARAH's Twitter ID showed up during the season premiere I think, so I started following.

 		Hmm. Eureka ARG, maybe? A search for Mary Perkins might escalate to that. Very good potential for it.

 		http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eureka_(TV_series) for those who need some backstory.

BTW - the therapist was BeverlyBarlowe
So far there is no cast member with the name Mary Perkins - which is good imnsho!

I can't hear the phone message after the girl, it is all broken up. secondly, the VM box is full, rats! but i did hear her say to call back next week, lol

She had several passports. It seemed like they could be differently named.

 		EUREKA unscripted on tumblr ( http://eurekaunscripted.tumblr.com/ ) has also included a bit on Mary Perkins.

Quote:
Oh. And if anyone has information on Mary Perkins, please call the number on the right. The Department of Defense has identified her as a "person of interest" and wants any traces of her whereabouts reported immediately.


Upcoming character, perhaps?

EDIT:

Taken from Sarah's twitter:

Quote:
@coconutlime That's a pretty indecipherable message. Were you able to make any sense of it? about 5 hours ago from web in reply to coconutlime


was a reply to:


Quote:

@_S_A_R_A_H_ great recording!

about 5 hours ago from twhirl in reply to _S_A_R_A_H_


... which was a reply to the Mary Perkins post. I'm at work, any changes in the message? What's indecipherable?

uhm, no need for snarkiness. He asked if that was the therapist, i gave the therapist's name, and said so far we have no char with that name. doesn't mean it couldn't turn out to be her, heck it could turn out to be some twisted alter ego of tagart - maybe an experiement went wrong when the audience went wrong and he became a she, could explain why Tag is missing... unlikely, but everything at this point is conjecture - which is also why i said it was a good thing.

Brownie no one can be snarky with the brownie in hand, omnomnomnom

 		OMG! I LOVE Eureka. If this turns out to be an EE/ARG I'm totally in. (And how perfect could it be? This series is almost handmade for an EE. It has so much potential).

I apologize, my bad.

But....tag in drag? That's....*throws up*. That's worse than Chuck Norris's support for the Huckabee campaign!
