Storage Wars: Texas Off to Rough Start Despite Season Premiere Getting 4.1 Million Viewers

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.

Is this Reviewer too Negative on Storage Wars Texas?

This reviewer of Storage Wars put this video up with his review basically bashing Storage Wars Texas and making fun of A&E for basically regurgitating the same concept in a different state similar to other popular reality shows that just start a spin-off in another city and add different characters.

While he does have some valid points and has some funny cartoon images he cuts to as to try and make his point in an amusing way, I believe he's much too hard on the network. I mean, it only makes sense after the humongous success of Storage Wars to make a spin-off. Since the original is in California, it only makes sense to put the next one in the next most populous state with new characters.

Bottom line, this will be a win for the network. While the characters do seem to come up short when compared to the original, there are some winners. Victor Rjesnjansky, the "Out of Towner" is entertaining and edgy. Ricky and Bubba Smith are good ol' boys from Texas that are very likable. Jerry Simpson is a the loveable assistant of thrift store owner Lesa Lewis. In my opinion the best so far is Moe Prigoff, he's also a collector like Barry Weiss and is also very interesting.

They have received record ratings for the premiere of Storage Wars Texas, but what's missing so far is the drama of the original. However, there has only been one episode so far and it could get more interesting as the characters do more auctions and create more interest. Whether you hate or love Dave Hester and his signature "YUUUP," Storage Wars Texas is missing that edge that Dave brings to the original and needs to find it in another character to hold the interest of its viewers.
