Ratings Review: WAREHOSE 13 (Season Five)

By the time this short fifth and final season of WAREHOUSE 13 hit the air, the series was already a shadow of it's former self. The stories and writing had gone down hill and, at least for me, it was no longer fun watch.

 The series was never really able to match the success it had in season one, where it regularly attracted 3+ million viewers for each episode. Season two saw that average drop to around 2.5 million viewers and season three was close to just two million viewers.

As season four begane and the early ratings were being reported, that is when SyFy announced that a six episode, final season would air in 2014. All six episodes of this final season were the six lowest rated epsiodes of the series. The interest and fun was gone, and so were the viewers.

For the season, WAREHOUSE 13 averaged just 1.05 million viewers and a 0.4 rating in Adults 18-49. What may be best for this franchise is the occasional SyFy Movie of the Week. One to two per season, max. but, only after a few years of rest
