Yeah. I’ve seen about 10 minutes and I can’t understand why it’s popular. Totally scripted,contrived cutesy dynamics and set ups. Only American Pickers, American Restoration and Pawn Stars have anything interesting in them, and they also are rapidly falling into the same traps.It seems that the “family values” thing is the only peg it has to hang its hat on.

Family values is all I want in a show.

Ha, as if your Pickers, Restoration and Pawn Stars aren't scripted. Sure, someone brings in George Washington's wig and they want $200. Rick says it is but a Halloween costume but calls in his good buddy from the Historical Society who says it's museum worthy and places a $30k price on it. Rick swears to the camera he really wants and offers the guy $1,500 because there's a small turn around on genuine Washington wigs. Same story every week.
