Rarely have I run across a show with which I have had such a love/hate relationship. This was one of those shows.
It's supposed to be a little quirky and funny mixed in with sci-fi weirdness, detective work and action, and it manages to marry all these ideas in a really entertaining way.
I totally loved the characters of Pete, Artie and Mrs. Frederick. I didn't dislike the others...they just drove me nuts.
Seriously, if this combo of people were in charge of something like Warehouse 13 in real life, we would have all been dead a long time ago. To have agents who are supposed to be uber-intelligent and the "best of the best", they sure did turn their backs on the bad guys a lot to consult with each other...letting the bad guys slip away or allowing them to perform another nefarious act. Made me want to scream. However, if the warehouse had been staffed with real pros, there wouldn't have been a show, or at least not an hour's worth.
Also want to add that you could make a drinking game from this...every time Myka says "Peeete?". There wouldn't be a sober person left in the room.
I don't know how they did it, but they managed to successfully make a super-irritating, super-likeable show, and I watched every season.
