New TV Shows

In todays world, television is filled with everything under the sun. But as we all know, reality TV trumps it all. From the Jersey Shore to The Hills, reality TV is the king of prime time. But amidst all of the junk that fills the prime time slots, there are some quality shows out there.
Two shows that really showed promise were Swamp People and Storage Wars. These two shows combine a good balance between comedy, interesting facts and a new perspective on things. 
Swamp People takes you deep into the swamp land of Louisiana and gator hunting. These hunters live off the land and make a majority of their money hunting gators and selling them. You follow them on their small boats as they wrestle gators into the boats with them. You get a unique look to see how some people live their lives. Sometimes we forget that, amongst the big cities and highways, some people still live off the land and can survive without credit cards and cell phones. 
Storage Wars is new type of show that focuses on people buying storage units that are being auctioned off. The idea is to pay less then what you think is in it, but unfortunately it is more complicated than that. The main characters that you follow on the show, have quite the ego's and never let the other get the units easy. The show is interesting because you get a new look on history and find out things about unique pieces of history. From everything to famous paintings to 1950's TV's, the units have it all. 
If you are looking from something new and interesting to watch on TV then these two shows wont disappoint. After both getting great reviews on their first seasons, their second seasons are off and running.
