I like American Restoration, but I don’t pay attention to the money part - I love the things they restore, etc.
I like Cajun Pawn stars okay. Getting turned off by American Pickers because they are kind of rude, imho, when someone doesn’t want to sell them something. Most of the time, it seems as if the money is all they care about; which is fine, but then don’t be on the History Channel. I’m interested in the backstory.
I like Pickers because they actually seem to negotiate. I don’t see it as “rude” as much as an essential part of their business. Pawn Stars, et al, you know they carefully pick who and what they show, Pickers you get to see what they turn down and or don’t get to buy more often than the other shows. These reality shows have gotten really contrived, don’t get me started on Top Shot *blech* and I’m an avid shooter, they are so predictable I want something new I guess.
