Collection Intervention follows Elyse Luray, former Head of the Collectibles Department at Christie’s, as she helps couples, families and individuals whose pop-culture memorabilia collections from Star Wars and Battlestar Galactica to Catwoman and Barbie have become damaging obsessions, creating financial strife and a huge strain on their lives. Elyse will create a strategy that helps these collectors curate and showcase their collection by assessing where the true value lies and then allow them to decide what’s worth keeping and what they can sell. These massive collections include dining rooms stuffed with 30,000 comic books, a garage filled to the rafters with Catwoman memorabilia, and an almost uninhabitable house filled with Transformers. For each collector, parting with some of their collection may free up some much needed space in their home, provide cash windfall to get out of debt, or even just allow a couple to become more focused on their relationship.

An obvious piggy back off of Hoarders, but Ill check it out. I'm sure some us on the tank could relate.
Dragasses says
at least they're not going to make us look like crazies.
Beckley says
How about Syfy has a "Ghost hunters and Ghost hunters International" intervention and they stop showing those stupid f***ing shows all day long?
Grimwing says
They are specifically looking for fans that have damaging social and financial problems.
I really hate that toy collecting has such a Grungy reputation that Networks think they can exploit us and make everyone involved very uncomfortable for a week.
I'm not sure if the focus is to break through hoarding issues, or to just display collections in a safer way to preserve their value. Just reading the description I'm leaning towards the hoarders knock off angle, but given that
Elyse Luray understands collectibles. maybe she won't be as nasty as other hosts that just don't "get" collecting toys.
But Transformers and Gijoe collectors are Really well adjusted, charitable, and socially active people from ones I have met on the boards.
Good luck to those who get on this show. Because it sounds like a real Pain.
samantha says
I think they are running out of show ideals.

Agreed...I am actually in negotiations to appear on a similar show on a different network...When first approached I thought it was a show about fun people, the collecting lifestyle, and awesome collection showcase. But I'm feeling that it may be like this show and portraying collecting as damaging to your finances and social life....what a waste
WVMojo says
Next Syfy will come up with a show about people haunted by their reduced collections.
Although I did show that to my wife and emphasized that my collection is in our basement, one corner of our basement (and in my office on my desk). She just laughed and said as long as they don't show up on her night stand staring at her while she sleeps...
And thank you for the idea honey....looks like she'll be waking up to 20 Zombies staring at her in a week or two after she forgets that comment.

I remember when there was Sci-Fi on "SyFy".
