And all these type of programmes?

So much better than antiques roadshow!

Money!

YANBU, the only time I get a little Hmm about it is when they obviously buy a storage thing that has someone's entire life in there. Seeing children's toys and clothes makes me wonder about the families who left it behind.
In general it's good though!

DH is OBSESSED with this. I don't get it! Wink

We often think about the people who are parted from there stuff...If it was yours would you not be there bidding for your stuff back?

pleasedontwakemeup · 25/11/2013 21:13

They're mostly a con though.

Gosh I love it aswell and I cringe to myself when I try to explain its brilliance to other people.

Man vs food is another wonder

As is gogglebox

All unexplainable to anyone of a modicum intelligence

DoItTooJulia · 25/11/2013 21:41

It's the weird auctioneering style I especially hate.

I just can't emulate all those braps and other noises!

PrincessFlirtyPants · 25/11/2013 21:43

Oh Manifesto Gogglebox is brilliant. Man vs Food makes me feel very uncomfortable.

browneyesblue · 25/11/2013 21:43

Love it! Great minds soldier; when I read the title, the first thing I thought was MONEY!

pleasedontwakemeup · 25/11/2013 21:45

It's amazing that Barry ever makes any money,he's always chucking his stuff around!

I think it would be better if they show what they actually sell the stuff for, rather than their estimates.

elQuintoConyo · 25/11/2013 21:52

I love it! It's the only decent thing on Spanish tv I get antsy when DS refuses to go for his nap and I have to watch Dora the fucking exploradora instead

Yuuuuuup!

pleasedontwakemeup · 25/11/2013 21:54

Darrell's long shorts! Crease me up!

My secret crush of shame is the auctioneer bloke. Dunno what is name is though.
It's so fake though. Like you'd leave a plane in your storage unit and never go back for it. Oh and how do they just know how much random stuffis worth.

Love Lori and Brandon.

LilMissSunshine9 · 25/11/2013 21:56

Haha I love it too!

pleasedontwakemeup · 25/11/2013 21:57

Sean is a comedian and he does the action on the side. He does have a quality....mmmmmm!

We love Storage Wars! DSS and I sometimes play it on the way to school - I have to be Daryl and he is Brando, or I'm Brandi and he's Jared lol!

TheCrackFox · 25/11/2013 21:59

Barry Weiss is utterly brilliant.

ManifestoMT · 25/11/2013 22:09

Princessflirtypants

I know they are all brilliant it just try explaining the concept to anyone what they are about .

Well it's Americans mostly red neckers or trailer trash types who buy up storage containers of either dead peoples belongings or people who haven't paid their bill in 6 months.
They don't know what's in the storage containers and then you get to see what's in it after everyone has bid on them.

Everyone always looks as if I am mad.

I do love it though.

My tv show idea would be to film people's bins and guess which celeb it is. A sort of who bin is this? Working title "through the bin hole"

I think that could be illegal though but if it does turn up on channel 5 i have copyrighted it!
