truTV announces programming highlights for the week of July 8th! Programming Alert - Week of 7/8

NEW SERIES - Kentucky Bidders

Kentucky Bidders - SERIES PREMIERE - "Speakers of the House" - Monday, July 8, at 10:30 p.m. (ET/PT)
Big Sammie and Little Sammie have it out over the auction house's antiquated sound system. A bidding war over a vintage toy has an explosive outcome and Big Sammie's disastrous test drive of a 6-wheeler may cost him and the family big time.

truTV's latest original series follows the happenings at Sammie's Auction, a colorful auction house in Corbin, Ky. This family-owned business buys rare and sometimes outrageous items during the week and then sells them off on weekend nights. Sammie, his family and his madcap employees will buy or sell just about anything: wedding dresses, live animals, condominiums, antique coins, warrior helmets, antique cars, motorcycles...you name it.
