Wife and I are training Eureka because it's goofy, wholesome, there's basically no violence.

Can you recommend anything comparable? Maybe newer? Ideally available on Prime, but open to whatever suggestions you have.

Update: I'm a bit short on time, but thanks everyone for responding! Quite a few suggestions to follow, I really appreciate that!

Off the top of my head -Similar scifi/fantasy shows:

Warehouse 13 (even has a few crossover episodes with Eureka)

The Librarians - it's a bit cheesier than Eureka or Warehouse 13 but fun. (Also has a new sequel series releasing now.)

Similar in tone (but not necessarily subject)

Chuck

White Collar (really any of the Blue Sky Era shows fit tonewise)

Psych

Pretty much any Dean Devlin show. While there are ocassional deaths in some of his shows, overall his works are lighthearted.

I particularly enjoyed Almost Paradise.

The Ark is decent, but for all it's cheese still tries to be more serious so might not be what you want.

Edit Thinking about wholesome shows made me think of 2 real old ones that have stuck in my head since I saw them as a kid.

Due South and Early Edition. While they don't really fit with what you're looking for they do have wholesome in force imo.

Due South is about a Mountie and his dog going to a big city to solve a murder.

Early Edition is about a guy who gets the newspaper delivered to him a day early by a mysterious cat* and trys to help people.

Modern Family!
