Yeah, Warehouse 13 falls squarely in the peak of SyFy Channel’s “this is super campy but it’s fun” era when they were trying to rebrand. Super low budget special effects, bad CGI, etc… If you end up liking it, you may also enjoy Sanctuary, which is a sort of spin on the X-Men concept. It’s from that same era. Warehouse 13 is basically “magic item of the week” while Sanctuary is more “monster of the week”.
This comment just reminded me of something. I actually have heard of Warehouse 13 before. A friend tried to get me to watch it many years ago when I was rewatching Eureka at the time. And I refused. He pitched Warehouse 13 as a magic item of the week type show in such a way that he completely removed any sense of personality from the show. Like, I don’t know a single thing about the show other than the fact that it’s a warehouse and there are items in it. He didn’t tell me a single thing about any of the characters, meanwhile in Eureka, the only thing I care about are the characters. Especially Sheriff Jack Carter, who is my husband. One of many.
Yeah, you’ll have fun with W13. Definitely a found family vibe, with good characters and chemistry. I’ve found a lot of rewatch value, a comfort show, in a similar vein to Eureka.
It’s really fun. I just got the Blu-rays so my wife could watch it for the first time after she enjoyed Eureka and Warehouse 13 with me. @Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com I do recommend
God damn it. Well, I guess I’ll add it to the fucking list…
One day, eventually, I will get back to the Golden Girls. I don’t know when that is, but it will be some day.
Side note, but congratulations on figuring out the guaranteed trick in getting me to respond. Actually mentioning me in such a way that Lemmy will notify me. I get so many responses to my posts… It’s so hard to keep track of conversations on here.

Well now I’m going to have to watch season 1 of Sanctuary…
