"Hoarders" on A&E is probably the most compelling show you haven't seen. It is an absolutely fascinating in-depth look at people whose entire lives have been utterly consumed by clutter and possessions, most of which are absolute junk. The inability to part with any of these items as small as a soda can to as large as a broken-down School Bus means many of them are facing threats of eviction, divorce, having their children removed from them, or even going to jail for criminal littering.

If you need a little push. . .

Loved this series, so glad I bought it
I loved Hoarders when it aired on Foxtel in Australia. I found it addictive to watch, so just had to buy the DVD's.

Most episodes I really enjoyed, although there are a couple of really depressing stories.... The young guy whose father is an alcoholic, and also the lady with all the cat corpses in her garage.

Certainly an eye-opener, and makes me feel so much better about our piles of clutter. Also helps me think about why I really need to keep stuff. I only wish there had been more "behind the scenes" footage on the DVD's.

Thoroughly recommended, and I'm looking forward to Season 2 when it comes out.
