On Pawn Stars, I just love it when people ask for just an outrageous price for something when the expert tells about the item they had sold at an auction for X amount of dollars. And then they guys tell them that's not happening.
Originally Posted By DlandDug We are fans of both. Jamie discovered Storage Wars while recuperating in the hospital. I had actually shopped at Dave's thrift shop in Newport beach a couple of times, but I thought his pricing and merch mix was ridiculous. Still do, and now understand why. Jamie and I have made the trip to Now and Then (Jarrod and Brandi's place) and have the t-shirt to prove it! Jamie's favorite is Brandi, mine is Barry. As for Pawn Stars, well, we just enjoy watching the hapless Chumlee, although I am partial to the old dad who clearly has seen it all.
Originally Posted By RoadTrip I've never seen Pawn Stars but really enjoy Storage Wars. I also like Barry the best, who seems to approach it as a hobby and nothing more. He can afford to... I read some of his background and apparently he had a VERY successful career as a produce distributor. Brandi is certainly easy on the eyes...
Originally Posted By Jim in Merced CA It almost seems like Barry is producing the 'Storage Wars' show. It's his voice that gives the re-cap at the end each episode.

Originally Posted By tashajilek I like both shows, i drove by the Pawn shop in Las Vegas in October. How cool to have been in Jarrod and Brani's shop Doug! My favorite is Barry and i get a kick out of Darrel and how his biggest concern is to try and screw over Dave. I dont know how much of the show is staged? there was that weird episode where Barry flys the remote control helicopter which is a hidden camera into a locker. Anyways, its fun to watch an i like everyone except for Dave.

Originally Posted By debtee Oh yes we have been enjoying these shows here in Australia. They are quite new to our screens. I think my fav one is the Cash Cowboys, the pickers that are Canadian. I haven't seen an American Pickers show yet, maybe that will be coming soon?
Originally Posted By FaMulan I fondly remember the days when A&E was really Arts & Entertainment Television. They'd have Sunday Morning concerts, video from NYC's Shakespeare in the Park, and Operas. And History had shows that focused on History, not reality shows about truckers, loggers and pawn shop owners. :sigh:
