VIDEO: Hoarders' Clare Is a Staunch Character

On the upcoming Hoarders (Monday, 9/8c, A&E), we're introduced to Clare, an elegant older woman whom one neighbor refers to as "Slumdog Millionaire." See, her house is trashed despite it being gorgeous and outfitted with a pool. (And dig that DeLorean in her driveway!) If this doesn't remind you of Big and Little Edie Beale, you need to watch Grey Gardens again...

VIDEO: Fire Is Not Considered a Fire Hazard on Hoarders

On Monday's Hoarders (9/8c, A&E) we meet Ron, who seems like a garden-variety hoarder until he reveals that he keeps an open flame on his stove "at all times." He reasons that it helps warm the house, and that it's not a fire hazard because it can't reach any of the thousands of pieces of paper he has crammed in his house.

VIDEO: Man Hoards Himself on Hoarders

Randy Senna is something of a local celebrity in the resort town of Wildwood, N.J., where he once ran a boardwalk game center called Flipper's Fascination. He's been the subject of profiles and a forthcoming documentary, in which he's generally regarded as an eccentric. Now, it turns out — at least according to Hoarders (Monday, 9/8c, A&E), he's a hoarder. You know how it goes: the medium is the diagnosis...

VIDEO: Hoarders' Roy Hoards Cars, Accomplishments

On this week's Hoarders (Monday, 9/8c, A&E) we're introduced to Roy, who lives in Boulder Creek, Calif., and is something of an anomaly — because all his hoarding (that we see) takes place outside on his 168 acres of land. (The added space means he can hoard larger things like cars.) But it's also because of his accomplishments as an inventor. Here are a few of the inventions he claims responsibility for...

VIDEO: Won't Somebody Please Think of the Hoarding Children?

This week's episode of Hoarders (Mondays, 9/8c, A&E) was every bit as fascinating as last week's Season 4 premiere. Billy Bob hoards toys (he was basically the male equivalent of last week's doll hoarder Phyllis, and accordingly received the circus-music score as he went through his collection). He had an amazing meltdown that involved him barking orders at the organizers, which ran counter to their objective (clearing out mounds of his stuff). In the end, his house looked less like a disaster and more like a tightly packed toy museum. Progress is progress! Even more fascinating was Beverly Hills-dwelling Jean...

10 Dirty Little Secrets About Nail Files

TV Guide Network's new original reality series Nail Files isn't about just any Hollywood nail salon — it's about The Painted Nail, where celebrities flock and free booze flows. On Tuesday's premiere (at 10/9c), owner Katie Cazorla learns of a last-minute opportunity to promote The Painted Nail at the Sundance Film Festival. Earlier this month, we dropped by the salon for a manicure and to learn about the salon's latest offering: exotic dancing. "We now have Burlesque Academy, where you can learn burlesque," Cazorla tells TVGuide.com. "It's cardio with a boa. It's more about being sexy, but it's an hour-and-a-half class and you get free champagne with it."

Geralin Thomas on Helping Through Hoarders

The question for any show that purports to help distressed and/or disordered people is straightforward: How much is it actually helping? A&E's Hoarders, which returns for its fourth season Monday at 9/8c, is no exception. To help sort it out, we spoke to Geralin Thomas, a certified professional organizer specializing in chronic disorganization. She's appeared on roughly 20 episodes throughout Hoarders' run. Like the show she's on, Thomas "tends to gravitate to helping people with mental health challenges and physical health challenges get organized." By phone, Thomas told us about the effect that working with challenged people has on her, whether the TV production helps or hurts the organizing process and how the show's exposure of hoarding has helped people pinpoint their own problems...

In it, a woman named Phyllis describes her fascination with dolls, which has led her to amass 50,000 of them. The scene in which she performs "doll surgery," amputating the hands of some to be placed on others, is among the oddest moments this very odd show has ever featured...

Watercooler: Rats! The Tail-End of Hoarders' Season

Only people dead inside could watch Hoarders and simply say, "they crazy!" Sure, there's insanity on parade, but by the end of most episodes, after all the human excrement has been shoveled away, there's usually nothing left but sympathy. For the sufferers. For their families. And especially ...

Freaky Eaters Co-Host: "When Having Seconds Is Not Enough"

What do you get when you mix Intervention, Hoarders, and a whole lot of food? TLC's Freaky Eaters. "It definitely has elements of both shows — the premise of Intervention and the obsessive-compulsion of Hoarders," co-host and psychotherapist Dr. Mike Dow tells TVGuide.com of the new TLC series. "But [those shows] explore well-known addictions and disorders. I think people will be surprised and moved to learn about food addiction, which is not as front-and-center, but affects so many people." The docu-series profiles people with bizarre obsessions with a certain food, compelling them to eat it over and over again. Dow, who treats the eaters with nutrition and wellness expert JJ Virgin, says more people than you might expect can relate to the compulsion.TVGuide.com: "Freaky eaters" makes for a catchy show name, but is there an actual medical term for people with the compulsion to eat the same food?Mike Dow: You know ...

Send questions to askmatt@tvguidemagazine.com and follow me on Twitter!  Question: I have recently discovered True Blood and spent the summer watching seasons 1 and 2. Alan Ball and company did all the right things to get me to invest completely in Bill and Sookie. So much so that now I physically hurt at the thought that things might not work out for them. (Kudos to them for getting that kind of response for fictional characters.) I know that things aren't following the books exactly, which is fine by me, since I haven't read them. However, I am getting a little worried about ...

Trauma9/8c NBC If you're into high-octane medical dramas, NBC has a new entry that spotlights paramedics. Perhaps in an homage to ER, which did not shy away from this sort of thing, Trauma blasts onto the screen with a helicopter crash that has a long-lasting personal effect on the show's main cast, which includes Cliff Curtis and Derek Luke. Earnest performances and a glossy look should draw viewers to this pedigreed production, but the accident-of-the-week story lines might get old fast — even with all the pyrotechnics.Read on for previews of The Big Bang Theory, Lie to Me, Heroes and Hoarders.
