Storage Wars

Storage Wars is the kind of reality television programming that appeals to both my thrifty side and my hoarder side. The show follows a handful of buyers as they bid against each other for abandoned storage lockers. After purchasing a storage locker, the buyers rummage through the locker's contents, hoping to generate a profit from what they find. Sometimes it's valuable art and antiques and sometimes it's garbage and used porn. The people behind the show were smart enough to cast some interesting buyers (my favorite being Barry Weiss, the eccentric collector with the Charlie Sheen wardrobe) as well as establishing a formula for the show that's part Scrappers and part Antiques Roadshow.
