WAREHOUSE 13 and EUREKA Syfy (formerly Sci Fi Channel), Tuesdays and Fridays at 9 p.m. (EDT) Equal parts X-Files, Ghostbusters, and Men in Black, Syfy’s new dramedy, Warehouse 13, revolves around a U.S. government warehouse for bizarre and supernatural objects, such as an ancient electric car, Pandora’s box, and a tea kettle that grants wishes. Two Secret Service agents, Pete (Eddie McClintock) and Myka (Joanne Kelly), work at this top-secret facility in South Dakota, where the curator (Saul Rubinek) tasks them with keeping the collection under control and investigating paranormal reports that might lead to new acquisitions. The formula of partner agents on a wild mission is not new, but this likable duo enjoys a chemistry that keeps the dialogue fresh and palatable. And even viewers who don’t typically go for ghost stories can get a kick out of storylines incorporating forgotten inventions by Edison and Tesla. Summer also brings new episodes of Eureka, the well-received series about a classified town populated by geniuses. The love interest of Sheriff Jack Carter (Colin Ferguson, above at left, with Joe Morton), daughter Zoe’s college decision, and Allison’s pregnancy will all be resolved. —Sam Kissinger
