Is it just me or can everyone else not get enough of these shows?

I like pawn stars. Lots of interesting stuff and everyone in the store is entertaining.

Pickers not so much. Rummaging through old barns for rusted signs and toys gets old pretty quick.

Ditto on Pawn Stars. A review I read somewhere summed it up well. Antiques Roadshow if it was run by the Teutels of American Chopper.

I've only seen the ads for Pickers during Pawn Stars and it didn't really interest me.

I agree with everyone else so far. Pawn Stars is a cool show, I don't make sure to be in front of it every night but if I'm channel surfing and it's on I watch it.

I've only seen one episode of "Pickers" and I wasn't impressed.

yea its really cool. If the family fun element was not there it would just be another aprasing show, but their interaction is so funny and real. I like Pickers too just because these guys are pretty bad #### really. I mean they drive around all over the country and only eat if they can find old stuff, make the people like them, then resell it. I mean there not making millions on their best years like pawn stars prolly is. There just in it for the love. I know Pawn Stars has serious money if they can just buy a 20 grand boat lol and hold it till they can sell it for 30 grand.
