A show where people yell and shout at each other over who gets to buy an abandoned storage locker via fast-paced auctions doesn't sound relaxing, but it somehow is for me. I've always had a fondness for the program, "Storage Wars," through the cast's own struggles (from marital issues to tragic deaths) and various accusations of fakery (not a year goes by without claims certain units are staged in some fashion). Flaws and all, I just love, "Storage Wars." There is something fun about witnessing as a person buys a junky storage unit and discovers it has hidden treasures, and there is amusement in witnessing a promising locker be a bust!
Sometimes seasons come out consistently, and there have been points where it goes so long between a season that people wonder if the show is canceled, but, "Storage Wars," keeps persisting. That's part of the charm too. Plus, after all these years, much of the cast seems to have a fun rapport, with many genuinely liking and caring about each other...and some who truly dislike or outright hate one another, too, so as to balance things out. It keeps things fun and everyone on their toes to have some sweet folks (Kenny and/or Brandi) and total jerks (Dave Hester loves being a villain). It is simply a fun way to kick-back, relax, and watch other folks get angry and then get all dirty as they search (sometimes in vain and sometimes with success) for goodies to sell. I'm excited that the latest season (the 17th) started on Saturday the 28th, and I look forward to more laughs, tears, and plenty of dust.
