I’ve been watching Pawn Stars for a while now and I love the show. I’ve sat for hours in front of the TV watching rerun after rerun until I think I’ve just about seen them all. Watching Rick Harrison and hearing all the stuff he knows is great too, I mean the guy is no slouch.
Tonight Rick Harrison was on Mark Levin’s radio show said he had a great idea to film out in Southern California at the Glamis Sand Dunes. He’d be employing around 100 or so people to film the show and had all kinds of ideas as to what he could do. But it’s on federal government land run by the BLM (Bureau of Land Management) so he had to apply for a permit to film there. He said he just found out yesterday that he was denied, and the reason they gave him was ‘budget cuts’. He says that doesn’t even make sense and believes if it were some liberal actor trying to do a show they would be able to get a permit without a problem.

This. I love Hardcore Pawn for the idiots that show up and demand $300 for a fake ear ring.
I watch both shows. Hardcore Pawn is absolutely hysterical. It's Detroit in a microcosm.
Rick is OK, but I can’t abide that son of his, “big hoss”. What a smartass...and spoiled brat.
How does Hardcore Pawn make money? It has to be on their TV contract because the garbage they take in is a bunch of worthless junk. At least the stuff they take in in LV at Pawn Stars, is collectible antiques. Rarely do I see anything I would buy from Rick and the boys but at least it has value.
How much do you want for this?
A hunnerd an fitty dollahs
It's not a real diamond.
I want a hunnerd an fitty dollahs
It's glass!
Give me a hunnerd an fitty dollahs!!
It's not worth five dollars. Why do need that much money?
I needs the moneh to bail out my bofriend. He the daddy of my children.
How many children do you have?
Seven...no wait... eight.
And he's the father of all your children?
No!!! Just the third, fifth, and I think the youngest. Give me a hunnerd an fitty dollahs!!
When conservatives are in power, we don’t punish our opposition like this. I am ready for us to start. Payback should be a b... Something Obama ate in his youth.
I watched it a couple of times and then realized those idiots are the face of Obama's america (small A on purpose) and the country's future. (sadly)
If you think Pawn Stars is bad for bickering, try Hard Core Pawn in Detroit. Those people are nuts
Their all staged to some degree but hardcore pawn is all fake.
Really! Wow. I wish that was on YouTube, I would like to see that.
Hmmm... I wonder how much money the government could get for selling the land? Could it reduce the debt entirely?
Don’t care for the show much but Harrison is one of the good guys from everything I am told.
I got a kick out of the Hardcore pawn episode where a lady tries to pawn some jewelry her “man” gave her that was fake. She called her man and he convinced her it was real and that Seth didn’t know what he was talking about. One can only imagine what greeted that guy when he got home that night...
No. Leave. We don’t want it.
*security shows up*What is yous goons gonsta do?
Remove you from the store.
No they aints!
*incoherent rambling as said guards removes the belligerent 250 lb welfare queen*
All reality shows are scripted and not shot randomly or candidly. There is always some sort of friction or conflict among the characters or these shows would be like watching paint dry....boring! People think that a camera crew just shoots the daily lives or happenings of the stars of the shows and the results are shown on the air, but that is not how it works. There is a lot of hard work to make them interesting and the people who star in them work long, hard hours to make what they do into an interesting show. Scenes are staged, scripted and altered to bring drama and energy to the program. The subject matter of the reality shows are part of the hook, but most of it is the characters and their interactions and relationships. But the bottom line is that reality shows are not real. They are produced just like any other TV program.
I think “Seth” is a twink. And he always wears that same long-sleeved, black shirt with the white pinstripes.
“Les” seems like an old-school guy that you wouldn’t want to scrap with. He seems like a cool cat.
And “Ashley” is in permanent PMS
...after all these years, your comments still cause me to spit coffee on the keyboard....
I read that around Thanksgiving a bunch of the Harrison clan went partying at Glamis and left a ton of garbage....they ended up paying a fine.
I understand that they are not real, I was just stating the parts that I like and don’t like. They could leave out the family fights and I would like it better, both shows.
I am always surprised that the black people will agree to make their race look so bad on Hardcore Pawn. They must get paid a lot.
