Warehouse 13 (2009-present)

After saving the life of the President in Washington D.C., a pair of U.S Secret Service agents are whisked away to a covert location in South Dakota that houses supernatural objects that the Regents, an Authority above and outside any government, have collected over the centuries. Their new assignment: retrieve any lost objects and investigate reports of new ones.

I freaking love this show!  I never used to be into shows on the 'B' networks like Syfy, but after discovering Lost Girl I decided to venture out and try another one: Warehouse 13.  The main characters are Pete and Myka; he's  a light-hearted comedian and she's a hard-ass.  Together they collect artifacts all over the world and keep them in a warehouse so no one will be in danger.

They are aided by Claudia, the tech-wiz, Artie, the old guy, and various others that come and go between seasons. This show is everything I want it to be and more.  The characters are genuine, the missions are dangerous and thrilling...and at the end of every hour all gets wrapped up nicely (bow not included).

Now for some background:  

Pete and Myka are ex-secret service agents who are called to warehouse duty by a higher government power.  They both agree to do one mission before requesting a transfer.  As usual, they don't get along in the beginning and it's hilarious, but in the end they save the day, the world and each other.  Turns out they were both looking for a family and the warehouse crew fit the bill.

This show is so different from everything else on tv that every week really is an adventure.  The best part is the show's writers.  They use real people/things in history and their flaws to create artifacts which now-a-days are out to destroy the world.  Example: Alice from Alice in Wonderland/Alice through the Looking Glass was a girly lunatic who slowly went insane and killed a lot of people.  Her mirror/looking glass became an artifact that trapped her soul and can possess people if they stare at it for too long.

Since seasons are only 13 episodes long (12 in the story arc, 1 holiday special) there isn't too much detail to go into because even in season 4 there are still big unanswered questions.

So long blog entry short:  this show is great and I can't wait to see where it goes. The only complaint I have for this show is the fact that Myka can't pick a hairstyle.  Season 1 she's pretty...after that she dyed her hair and straightened it and then curled it again...if you look it up you'll see what I mean.  But that shouldn't stop you from enjoying this hidden gem of a show.  So sit back, relax and enjoy! (all the seasons are available on Netflix and Syfy.com)

So I couldn't stop myself.  Look at the hair for yourself...I'm pretty sure you'll see what I'm talking about:

  Myka Season 1 (pretty right?)


Season 2 (color is too dark, but still ok)


Season 3...WTF happened????? She looks like a drowned rat!*

*Side note:  I hate her new hair but you should still watch the show, I just have slight OCD with things having to stay the same forever in tv land...maybe that's just me?
