Editorial Reviews

Just when you thought it was safe to park in Philly... the Philadelphia Parking Authority (PPA) returns to A&E with a new season more riotous than ever! The people you love-to-hate are back, ticketing, booting and towing the cars of problem parkers who express their outrage in furious Philly fashion. Returning this season are favorites "Gadget Man" Garfield and his booting partner Sherry, hunting for scofflaws in a new high-tech van, as well as PPA ticket writers Brian, Carmen, Danielle, Marylin, Luz, and Shawn, who dodge angry drivers and go face-to-face with irate citizens. New faces include rookie ticket writer Mike who clashes with drunken revelers on wild South Street, "glamour gal" Marlene, tough-talking Lori, and Jen who is so gung-ho to boot, she'll even scan for offenders on her own block. Our "heroes" not only endure verbal abuse but they can also experience real danger. When a police officer is shot and killed, the unarmed parking officers are reminded how scary it can be to wear a uniform and walk a gritty beat. Intense, humorous and always emotional - Parking Wars' second season is more outrageous than ever.

This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tells It Like It Really Is February 4, 2011

By Jersey Horse Lover

Format:DVD

As a former police officer at the Jersey Shore, this series really shows everything dealing with parking. "Customers" who just won't take responsibility that the ticket was their fault, as well as one parking officer that takes her job a little too serious. I never did "booting" where I worked, so I enjoyed seeing the process of booting, towing, and owners recovering their vehicles. Good DVD series !

3.0 out of 5 stars two cents from a Philly Native June 12, 2012

By Jeffery Mingo

Format:DVD

I asked a Philly native his two cents on the show and he said the following: I have seen it, and I think it accurately portrays the frustrations that Philadelphians feel toward the Parking Authority. Of course those frustrations are seen from the vantage point of the Parking Authority employees, who are portrayed sympathetically, and I think the point of the show is to make the viewers' sympathy for the employees overshadow any critique of the Parking Authority. I remember trying to contest a parking ticket, and it was so difficult to get any response via phone--and it's so time-consuming to contest a ticket in person--that I ended up paying it. The inefficiencies and unresponsiveness of the system don't get acknowledged on the show, which helps to position the drivers as lunatics.

4.0 out of 5 stars Parking wars June 18, 2013

First of all, I'm glad I don't live in Philadelphia and looking for a parking place. This show is very interesting and shows just how moronic people can be.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very easy to watch while also doing other things June 13, 2013

By Citizen John TOP 50 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

I like all the episodes. I might not have the patience to watch this series if I were giving it my full attention. Yet with intermittent or half attention, this is very nice.

The real-life characters are inspiring. Whether they had any training in customer service is somehow never mentioned. But holy smokes they are good. Their skills are subtle. I think you have to watch several episodes to appreciate this. Because it's not anything in particular that they say. It's their general demeanor, probably revealing their beliefs.

Also, I like the people that got the tickets or the boot. I like those that take things in stride and the ones that get super angry. That surprised me, that I would like the angry ones. I like the way they speak up for themselves even if the parking enforcers don't have any authority.

One thing I learned: people from Philadelphia more fiercely argue over tickets than those from any other city. After all the episodes, I will be circumspect, declining arguments, if I go to Philadelphia.

Amazon, could you hurry up and please add Season 6 to the Prime listing?! This is one of my favorite reality shows mainly because it's partially filmed out of Detroit, MI.

4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining May 14, 2013

By BRIANK

Format:Amazon Instant Video

The wide variety of personalities, both the cast and the general public, helped to keep the show interesting. It took me a while to like the show, but once I was half way through the first season, I was hooked. Season 5 was just more of the same as the previous seasons. Somewhat predictable, but still entertaining to watch.
