Storage Wars - Texas scored record ratings on it's season debut on 12/5/2011, however the reviews online have been very negative since. The 4.1 Million total viewers was a record for an A&E original series launch, but unfortunately it was a disappointment to loyal Storage Warriors that were raving fans of the original Storage Wars set in California.
This puts a lot of pressure on the next episode 2 tomorrow: "Bounty Hunter Bubba Fett." Will it be another flop? Will it surprise us? It's difficult to tell yet if A&E knows what they are doing with this new show or if they have grown too quickly for loyal fans to follow like many other reality show franchises have started declining this way.
One thing is for sure, the original Storage Wars is and continues to be a hit! Dan Dotson the auction man is the best auctioneer of all time, he should win an award. The characters continue to be compelling and addictive to watch. So far, this is what Storage Wars - Texas is missing, the "wow" factor if you will.
If I was one of the producers, I would introduce new characters, I would even have members of the California crew like Darrell Sheets and Dave Hester show up occasionally to mix it up. To keep viewers though, they need new characters. They need edgier, more interesting characters. Right now the show is just too bland and boring.
In fairness, it's hard to duplicate the success of Storage Wars to another city. Perhaps it's just the nature of the beast that the spin-off will never be as popular as the original. Whatever happens A&E, just don't forget the fans that have made Storage Wars the most popular auction show on television.
