I think this show works because of the personalities. Even if you dont like them, Dave, Darrell, Barry are interesting. The TX show just didnt do it for me. But from what I read, what Daves lawyer wanted was for him not to be brought into any lawsuits that came out of a discovery of fraud etc, etc and the network wouldnt sign off on that. It did seem weird that often you would have these lockers full of junk with one really valuable antique in there, or the ones where there would be a bunch of money. Unless you are Breaking Bad, who leaves a bunch of cash in a storage locker and then abandons it.
