How many more seasons do you think the storage shows will be renewed for?

My Guess:

Storage Wars New York - 2 (Next season confirmed)
Storage Wars Texas - 1 (Next season confirmed)
Auction Hunters - 0
Storage Wars - 0
Auction Hunters - 0

I'm more interested in HOW MANY VOTES the poll will receive !  The record here for the last two years is 6 VOTES I think !

That would be great if you could locate them. It would be interesting to see how the past opinions have held up.

I COULD locate them, but I currently am stalking another interest...now if a $100 gift card was at stake that might be a different matter !

Edit:

Ha!  I just realized that in about six minutes I will be TIVOing CSI: Las Vegas while meanwhile I will be WATCHING Law and Order: SVU on a second TV.  Now, that's stalking !

It is still one of the top shows on A & E getting 3 million viewers. DD might be the only show with more.

I was just looking at the Nielsen cable TV ratings for this week. I find it amusing that Duck Dynasty and WWE wrestling occupy 5 out of the top 10 spots in the USA.

I think they're certainly running out of steam.. It's what happens when you create the story line.. I give it 2 more years max for new episodes and an eternity in reruns.

Where did the Storage Wars "Special" day fall on the list?

The Beards Are Back!

I don't know, I only looked at last week's top ten.

I wondor if since Duck Dynasty is sooo popular if there have been a rush of people trying to get in to the business of making wild game calls or other hunting gear?

Welcome to America - where you don't need to be the first to come up with an idea to make money - you can copy the first and now you're a competitor. As long you beat the other hundred people to market, you're good.

We all know that. The question was how much longer do they have.

Alloro says we all knew that...I didn't.

The A&E website doesn't mention it (that I could find). There were two new episodes on March 18; who knows if that was the start of Season 4 or the end of Season 3; with cable/Sat shows you're never quite sure when the new seasons start. HBO says Homeland begins again in Sept, 2013 but with the other lesser networks sometimes the promos on  their channels tell us before their websites do.

Your source for the Season 4 announcement ?

Edit:

Went back in and looked at the full schedule. I think if I read it correctly there are TWO NEW episodes tonight, March 25, 2013 as well. It threw me before when I quickly read one of the descriptions that mentioned Mark Balalo (sp?) name. Guess they could run it (even though he's dead).

So, I gave up looking at the full schedule after that. Maybe the mention of the mid-April episodes is down there somewhere.

Raspberries (sp?) not-with-standing, "everybody" is "everybody" just like "always" is "always".

"Almost everybody" would have worked or "most people know" would have worked.

Use as many in-exact word choices as you like. I was just commenting that you said everybody knew and I was responding that I did not know.  ;D

Watching a non-auction show on A&E and saw the promo for the April 16, 2013 ...NEW season.

What's old is new again....but without Dave.

Title: Re: How much longer do the storage auction reality shows have?
Post by: alloro on March 26, 2013, 09:48:29 AM
I noticed in last nights show there was no Dave in the intro. Has anybody noticed how long that has been going on?

It just started with the new season. He's off the show because he's suing them.

I was under the impression that his status on the show was in flux pending the litigation decision.

Employers are funny that way. They tend to get rid of employees that sue them. :D

Well the shows are no longer highly rated for the networks probably because the wowie factor is gone and its the same old same old different unit same day game with these shows. Whenever a male rated shows starts to losse ratings they use the sex sells to try abd boost ratings, Just watch and see if Im right on this.

I would just like to point out that the survey results look like a big middle finger.

I suspect another 2-4 season, so year half - 2 years.  Even as the ratings fall unless they have something else in the wings they will squeeze out another season or two.

The shows on the 18th and on the 25th were the end of season for. The shows on the 25th were 29 and 30 for the season.

I've mostly given up on when one season ends and the next begins, especially when they take an 8 week break (or more), put on a couple of new shows and then start a new season a few weeks later.  I'll still watch the original series but as many posters here have indicated...."the thrill is gone."

Yeah that is kind of aggravating. On a positive note though, the DVR is your friend. I just set mine to record new episodes of my favorite shows, then every so often I'll sit down see what's recorded and watch away.

The electronic gizmos available now as opposed to even 10 years ago are phenomenal.

I got a new Tivo maybe 10 years ago (maybe more) and bought the $300 lifetime service. About 6 years ago the hard-drive crapped out. I bought a new one (with the Tivo "image" on it), installed it myself and it is still working today. The lifetime membership aspect is tied to the electronics not to the hard-drive so that works out great. I bought a 250 gb hard drive and wish I had gotten bigger, but it works fine. I just have to delete a recorded program now and again to make more space.

I won't go into details, but because of the satellite service I have I can't program this particular Tivo to automatically record programs based on what I've seen or haven't seen before and I miss that aspect.

When I got into the buying/selling biz in 2004 I bought a 2nd TIVO for $30 at a flea market just to play around with.
Got it home and lo and behold it had a lifetime subscription on it. I have it hooked up to a OTA antenna and it gets the locals I want. Two Tivos...flexibility for what I want to do.

For a while I was buying Tivos whenever I saw them at thrift stores, but after about 6 that were NOT lifetime subs, I quit doing that. I sold them and broke even or made a few bucks, but nothing big.  During that particular time TIVO had stopped offering the lifetime service; now I think its back.  The interface on those things is so efficient. They've hardly changed it over the years.

Since they just recently started shooting for SW Canada, I think it might be a bit longer. Can't wait to see what they pretend to find there!

I love the banter that goes back and forth here!  I agree that the shows are losing their luster, in fact I've found myself deleting new episodes before I even get to the end.  Storage Wars is getting so redundant, and Auction Hunters isn't even remotely believable anymore.  The "Pawn Shop" edition of Auction Hunters is barely watchable because it is so scripted.  It really can't be "stories of their best lockers" because it's in real time now.  Geesh, the last episode I saw they found a replica of an antique machine gun and a suit of armor worth 12K or something rediculous like that. 

The only problem is that new watchers might not be thinking the same as us seasoned watchers who are hoping they go away.  Only time will tell, but I get the feeling their demise will be sooner than later (I hope). :'(

One of the golden rules to remember is that for real syndication success you want around 5 years (i.e. around 100 episodes). 

How many episodes are they cramming into a "season" of each of these?  I suspect they will push to get each to 5 years to get enough episodes to make money syndicating.

Of course the "standard cable channel" world is different from network TV.  Syndication and rerun rules might change accordingly.
