The first year of "Hardcore Pawn" was very interesting. A slice of urban life, as you said.

But now it has degenerated into a family shouting match. The pawn transactions seem almost secondary.

And I'll tell you something else. The Golds are Jewish. I know of no Jewish family where the son publicly belittles his father or uses profanity when talking to his father.

So either the show has become completely scripted, or the Golds are one messed-up family. Either way, it has become unwatchable for me.

The first year of "Orange County Chopper" was very interesting. A slice of urban life, as you said. But now it has degenerated into a family shouting match. The motorcycle creation seems almost secondary.

(gee, I wonder if they have the same director/producer ?)
