Producers and Director: Hello, after watching your shoe for a number of years I must tell you this - you are doing it all wrong. For the sake of a one hour TV show you are hurting the feelings of clients, family and I am sure the viewing public. Your mistakes? Rushing a cleaning process that should take weeks, hiring people of questionable professional ability, and making a joke out of the process of collecting and keeping. I have many suggestions but my first one is to get rid of "Cory", he has no business being featured on the program, and quite frankly, doesn't ' have a clue.

This is an amazing show about a very shamefilled, dibilitating disorder! Some times I find how the hoarder are treated to be more disturbing than the mess! Then some times I find it inspiring how the hoarders family steps up to help them.
