The six storage lockers of Henry VIII?

I'm quite taken with a couple of American TV programmes shown over here - Storage Wars and Pawn Stars.  Both are concerned with people looking to find (Storage Wars) or buy (Pawn Stars) something of value, and thereby make a killing - sort of Antiques Roadshow crossed with Ocean's Eleven.  Good entertainment, but what I can't understand is that - over here - they are shown on the History Channel.  Just what have these programmes got to do with history??
