as the title asks, lol,
I've seen it(obviously, lol). In fact ive seen every episode aired so far. I like it, its imo one of the few newer shows(along w/american pickers and how the earth was made/the universe) history channel has put out that are worth watching all the time. (other shows have alot of hit and miss episodes imo.) I dont like the way they try to inject drama into it though(making the hated cousin work their, chum lee aking forever to get that necklace from the old mans house,etc.). that part really irks me and makes me wonder just how much of the sgow is actually scripted(alot probally, but im going to turn a blind eye on that, I still remeber how much it pissed me off to find out the osbournes was scripted.lol) So guys, what do you all think?

yeah, you should check it out.It gets addicting, lol, the stuff that comes through their doors is amazing sometimes. my favorites have been the george washington autographed unreleased mint condition lottery ticket, the big silver spoon made by paul revere, and the huge chunk of silver coins from that shipwreck by the taj mahal(probally spelled wrong, lol)

Mr. Worm and I love that show. I like seeing the cool shit they get and learning all about it. And I like it when people think they have this 1 of a kind item that's worth MAD dough, and it turns out to be worth 100.00.

I def like it, although i think that big bald fuck is a cock, he straight swindle's people, and he's an ass about it. The old man is a G, and Cory is just a fuckin douch, ya know one of those fat kids that just think they are so bad ass.

But overall its way interesting to see what people try and sell to them.

gangland is a joke...
pawn stars is ok, it has its moments, i also think the old man is the only one with a level head on his shoulders, lol.

i like the one where the guy brings in the antique pistol, he spent a boatload of cash on it and his wife was making him sell it to get the money back, and it was fake, worth like 50$

Pawn stars is a cool show. I agree that they don't need to try and add drama to it. Like the girl that's always late and had to work the night shift. She was probably never late they just did that whole bit to create drama. I don't give a shit about their personal lives or any thing other than seeing what people bring in to sell or pawn. What's funny are the nimrods that know perfectly well that they're standing in a pawn shop and yet when they learn that their item is worth $5000 or whatever and when asked how much do they want for it will always say $5000. History channel is one of the best cable channels on tv. That and the National Geographic channel.

I'm also a fan of the show. I always flip to the channel when i see that it's on, but i think i've seen all of them.
I also think its hilarious when he has one of his "experts" come in and tell them that its worth like 5 grand and when he asks what they want for it they say " how about five grand" lol. I mean come really... Do you really think there doing this shit for free?

But i still wonder to this day how in the hell somebody actually successfully pitched a tv show about a pawnshop to the history network haha.

My old man watches that, and American Pickers. American pickers had one of my dad's old coffee drinking buddies on it,so obviously they traveled to my hometown.They had a hard time getting anything out of him, because he basically does the same thing they do, so he knows what's up.

I love pawn stars, Hate the douches. But hey it gave us something to talk about. American pickers is cool but does anyone else think there's something up with that guy? I mean he is always so excited, jittery and just stoked on life lol I think hes doing lines or something.

The only thing I don't like about American Pickers is that they sometimes take advantage of old people. I saw one episode that had this old codger showing them around his barns and workshop letting them look at all the stuff he's accumulated over his life time. He clearly was too old to have his senses about him and understand what they were doing. They gave him something like $25 for something they knew was worth significantly more and snickered between themselves on the "steal" they just made. I had hoped they would go back and give the old guy a more fair price for some of his items but they didn't.

Yeah, the skinny guy is a little too excited rummaging through the junk piles to not be snorting something. He also strikes me as someone who doesn't know he's gay yet.
