Televised = mesmerized

Well, this one is hard to explain. I loved the x-files. I've enjoyed Heroes. Now, a new low? I dunno. I really have a great time watching Warehouse 13. It's tons of fun and nothing but a good hearted romp into sci-fi/fantasy. The cast is quirky and witty. The scenarios per week are nuts, but enjoyable escape.

The general premise is that there is a vast collection of dangerous artifacts supercharged with paranormal power, everything from Timothy Leary's glasses to HG Wells' pen. There's a super-secret team of curators who attempt to track and secure these artifacts. There's humor. There's history. There's a steampunk motif....and oodles of science fiction fruitiness. I'm hooked.
