Warehouse 13: Season One
Science-fiction/fantasy TV show Warehouse 13, which airs on Syfy, debuted on DVD on June 29, 2010.
Saul Rubinek stars as the caretaker of Warehouse 13, a top secret facility that houses such strange artifacts as Poe’s pen, which when used, has horrorifying consequences. He’s joined by two Secret Service agents (Eddie McClintock and Joanne Kelly) who were transferred to Warehouse duty after saving the life of the President. Their new job is to track down and retain these artifacts before they get in the wrong hands.
