The vertically-challenged on stilts, old dudes with fake tans, the Hulk Hogan of self storage auctions, a Patton Oswalt look alike and a controlling girlfriend…. I’m sold. “Storage Wars” definitely has some potential.

One of my complaints with “Auction Hunters” has been that I wanted to learn more about the other people at the auction. What is everyone’s story and why do they go to these auctions? Looks like this show will be more about the people and the rivalries. Looks a little over the top, but I’m intrigued. Watch the sneak peek and you be the judge. The first episode airs on Dec. 1 at 9 p.m. Central on A&E.
