Syfy’s "Warehouse 13" debuted its second season with an episode that drew 2.96 million viewers on Tuesday, making the episode the network’s most watched telecast this year, reports TVbytheNumbers.com.

Nevertheless, that represents a decline from the show’s premiere in July 2009, when 3.5 million viewers tuned in, the story points out.

But Tuesday’s episode drew 1.354 million viewers between the ages of 18 to 49 years old, higher than the 1.3 million in the demographic who watched the series debut last year, the article says.

Last year’s series premiere also coincided with a marketing push for the network’s rebranding, the story notes.
