Storage Wars Canada

Watched one episode then got through about 1/2 another one before I was so disgusted I have to turn it off. Not funny, not informative and not entertaining.

Rick and Cindy look like they fell out of the back door of a nickel beer saloon and heading to the alley for a little sumpin sumpin. (Nudge nudge wink wink) All mouth and 'expert' yet 9 times out of 10 they go home empty handed (and empty headed) crying sour grapes. Badly in need of haircuts and some teeth. Paul and Bogart: feel sorry for the kid as his obviously overacting father is rubbing off on him. Roy is comical and the only bright spot on the program. That auctioneer Don is as exciting as the night after at a Mexican restaurant. Ursula. Hmmm. Don't really know what to think but the producers obviously needed a beauty counterpoint to the travesty called Rick and Cindy. She is stylish but why is she rummaging around others cast-offs? AND WHY, WHY can they NEVER get outside the GTA (greater Toronto area) there is a LOT more to Canada than 1 city (and its suburbs) in Ontario. After all, we are the largest country in the world and one of the most diverse. The economy in TO is stagnant yet Alberta is booming as is the Northern territories with the diamond mines. If the producers were to do 9 more sad and sorry spinoffs to represent the rest of the provinces and territories, I would have 9 more reasons to stab myself in the eyes with a fork.

This show is such a pale comparison to the original series that I dare say I feel like I am lying to myself and everyone else just by calling it a show. It's not a television show at all, it's just a great big fat lie.

The people on it are fake and obviously just giving lines and doing what they are told to do. Maybe they also do that on the "real" show but on this show the things they do are cheap and stupid anyway and these people aren't nearly good enough to "sell" what they are doing and seem real.

I can't believe how stupid and boring this show is or how much I dislike every single person on it. Well two I don't hate but I certainly don't like or identify with anybody, this show just stinks like crap.

Does anyone actually watch this "reality" show and actually believe it is at all real?

This show is the WORST. I am especially upset because I am a fan of the original show.

This show fails in pretty much every single respect at making a reality TV show.

I should say reality-ish because this show is obviously totally fake. I'm not going to take them all the way down to a one out of ten rating just for that because tons of reality shows aren't exactly real. But this one takes the case. Shots of conversations but then another camera clicks on and you see that the camera we just saw a shot from is not there. Empty hallway or lot. That means all these arguments, conversations and confrontations are 100% staged.

That's probably why the bidders (actors) all seem so fake on this show, because they and every moment are. Their performances are wooden and pathetic.

So if you're not really caring if it looks totally fake then why not at least get decent actors?

Why not tell decent stories? It's the exact same story every time. They buy a locker that has something in it (obviously an interesting and or valuable piece that has been planted there). They take the thing to an "expert" friend they just happen to know. They cash in. The staged, fake arguments that are boring get settled but who cares because they're obviously fake and boring?

Why does every Canadian version of a show have to be so completely inferior?

Wearing a Hawaiian shirt and having a girl pretend to be a giant b- witch does not mean they are interesting characters.
