I did a search and couldn't find anything. And I'm surprised no one has made a thread about it yet. But I only did the search in F&T, so forgive me if I'm out of line here..
I believe they broadcast it on TLC. And the show is based around people & their addictions. This is not like Intervention though, as the emphasis here on addictions has to do with the bizarre materials people find themselves trapped into using.
I've only caught two episodes in my time and some of the stories were very strange, including a lady who is addicted to huffing moth balls because they remind her of her grandmother. So she fills her car with them, she fills her pockets with them, she fills her pillow case with them. She even crushes a bunch of them up inside of a sock and carries the sock around all day so that she can take it out and huff on it.
Other stories included a woman addicted to eating cat food. Another was addicted to the smell of Pine Sol. Another woman was addicted to representing & living the lifestyle of a woman from the 50's. This included her wardrobe, car, music listenings..All these were strictly things from the 50's.
I believe I recall another segment had a woman addicted to breast implants and another person was addicted to eating rocks. She would literally go out in the morning and find all the rocks that she loved, and then she would munch them down, nibble by nibble all throughout the day.
Has anyone else caught this show? Is this for real? Or is this another one of those bullshit Television shows like the Pawn Stars, Swamp People, Orange County Choppers, and all the various "____ Wars," or "_______ Stars" programs that are all make believe, but take on the guise of "reality television," so to fool the viewer into believing these are real genuine people and this is a day in their life as a _______ worker?
Television is a head fuck, and I fall for a very limited amount of the stuff they spew out on to it when I am in the position of the "viewer." Seriously, what has happened to channels like "History Channel?" Has it always been this fake and full of shit or is this something new, that I've only just now noticed?
What's with the sudden increase in these faux reality shows? Are people really falling for them? Do people just accept them for what they are and use them as a way to kill time?
I'm not trying to say that I'm positive "My Strange Addiction" is one of these fake shows, like "Pit Boss." But how are there that many people out there with these strange habits? How are there enough of them to make a steady show like this? How come I have never run into anyone with any kind of moth ball problem? Is this because I'm on Bluelight where people have drug addictions, and I'm just not aware of the epidemic or the craze that's being discussed on MothBall.ru?

Everything you've said about Pawn Stars is pretty easily explainable, even though I agree with you, that is one of those "gussied up reality shows"(which is what they are and why your thinking to hard IMO, their just prettied up to get more viewers, their probably not even outright fake, they do most likely own a pawn store somewhere, they just don't know 99 experts in 1,000 fields nor do they get 1 million dollars of merchandise each episode, but think about, would you want to watch a slow paced show where they get some guys dead grandpa's hat or a barrage of items like a sword that killed 666 nazi soldiers?). First things first, you seem to think each episode is just one day, its probably like fifty different days and fifty different clips from mixtures of those days mangled together(though it does usually look like a day because they do the "get an item at the beginning, find out what its worth at the end, and play with it" sort of shit which makes it seem that way IMO), so your over thinking the "How in the fuck do the experts get there so quick?" thing and the experts are also usually curators or something to that effect of museums which it usually says(that or they own a specialty shop of some sort). Also in my mind your definitely over thinking the "if hes so talented why does he own one shop". He owns one shop because everyone starts somewhere and he wasn't plopped out of his mammy's vajay one vagina hair short of a historian, at least I would think so. As for My Strange Addiction, your totally over thinking it, I can't answer the questions how are there so many or how are their enough for a steady show but(I could guess though because I mean if you think about it, its not like theres institutions full of people with mental disablitlies or anything like that......), but the last question is so obvious, you must be over thinking because how would you run into these people? Do they scream out of their windows that they smash moth balls in a sock to get the smell? No they hide, and in each episode they actually have "revelations" where they reveal their addictions to sometimes even their family members who didn't know for years. Its so easy to hide weird things you do, that you probably didn't even think about that. 
I've always loved you. Thank you for playing along.
), its just your thinking to hard about it in my mind. All the shows aren't technically "fake" because for example they show what happens at a pawn store day to day, but they also make it super unrealistic with all the nazi death swords and shit. Its exactly like I stated though, would you rather tune into a show about a nazi death sword going through sales or some guys deceased grandfathers hat and also I forgot to state that its 2012, Lak! That means we've had decades and decades of TV at this point. Were running out of material, especially the "real" material. People have already watched the real shows where they stick cameras in the corner ceiling of some business and just film, now they need the show where a guy pulls a katana on a repo man for taking his '92 Civic. You know, when I think of it, I might even agree that Pawn Stars is fake(with the exception of Chum Lee, if he turned out to be fake...my world may collapse)but its just like I was saying, over thinking it, your letting Pawn Stars and the possibility of its reality seep into your mind and its beginning to affect other things.
