A & E 's new show: Hoarders

About: Each 60-minute episode of Hoarders is a fascinating look inside the lives of two different people whose inability to party with their belongings is so out of control that they are on the verge of a personal crisis. Whether they're facing eviction, the loss of their chilren, jail time, or divorce, they are all desperately in need of help. In a fly-on-the-wall style, we'll capture the drama as experts work to put each on the road to recovery. But cleaning is just the first step, like taking drugs away from an addict. The healing won't be easy. For some, throwing away even the tiniest thing -- a sponge, a button, and empty box -- is so painful that they will not be able to allow the cleaning to be completed, no matter the consequences. for others, professional help and an organizer's guidance give them the strength to recover. At the end of each episode we'll find out who has been able to keep their hoarding behavior at bay and who, despite help, is still lost inside this painful disease..." Link
