    I watched the first couple episodes of this show and just couldn't get into it. The characters are cliche and even a bit annoying. Although the overall story of the show is very creative, it is presented in a very corny and unrealistic way. There are so many other good science fiction shows and movies, I wouldn't waste my time with this one.

    If you think you have seen this all before, you have, in shows like Eureka, The Librarian series, Indiana Jones, and so on. Some cutesy humor and decent acting ultimately can not save this tiring overlong TV pilot which seems to have spent more money on set decoration than plot. There are better summer options out there for the discriminating viewer who does not want to waste his or her precious entertainment time allotment.… Expand

    Fringe Lite. With half the taste and nothing smart.

    The show isn't great. I'm into Sci-Fi stuff so this is a show I would normally be into. However, the two main characters are just too cliche / uninteresting / not great actors. Watched the pilot and flipped back and forth during the second ep. but couldn't really get into it.

    In my life I have a liking to science-fiction and horror related films and television. A few weeks ago I was intrigued by the upcoming show "Warehouse 13". After viewing this week's episode I was left with a feeling of disintrest. The show borrows concepts from programs such as " The Outer Limits" and the similar 1960's Japanese program " Ultra-Q". While the episodes have been well thought out, what stopped me from enjoying this show was the characters. Eddie McClintock comes off with a severe ego and is just plain rude. Joanne Kelly was very good in her role yet came off as annoying in trying to be the leader between her's and McClintock's character. The remaining characters were decent yet not incredible. In conclusion this program, while of my favorite genre of films and television, was not well put together and requires improvement in the field of characters, Change the ego and the trying to be leader.… Expand

    The pilot drags, but Saul Rubinek, who plays the warehouse curator, is entertaining enough that I want to believe it will improve.

    Like other Sci Fi shows of the recent past (think: "Eureka"), Warehouse 13 begins with a strong concept and suffers from weak execution.

    There are times when you have to question the writers' urge to pack in everything but the kitchen sink...Fortunately, Kelly and McClintock pull off their roles in this precarious high-flying adventure, teetering between heaviness and humor in each scene.
