AMERICAN PICKERS

glass man · May 1, 2014

I kinda like shows like AMERICAN PICKERS in spite of the idiots that are on them..just like to see the items they come up with. It drives me crazy though when they run a goo goo eyed right past a row of what looks like old bottles to grab a crappy old tin sign or old rusty any thing ...geez they seem like magnets some time for rusty metal..wish old bottles would be looked at..at least a camera shot of them for a minute or two...when I spy bottles on these shows I usually yell at the T.V...so far that hasn't worked.[8D] JAMIE

I like seeing the good antique stuff also but just like Pawn Stars it's the same old routine every show, oh that's to high we gotta have some meat left on the bone and so I will berate and belittle you until I get my price and I'll sell it at five times your original asking price. I would prefer a show that would concentrate more on the historic aspects and reward the owner for preserving them. I guess that wouldn't appeal to our drama fixated society. Frank and Mike aren't quite as bad as Rick, that little laugh of his and you know what's coming next.

I agree there has been many times I 've seen some bottles on that show that I wish they would have checked them out but I think they just don't have a clue about them. I'm sure they have past or over looked some mega scores of bottle's over the years.

I saw an episode when they bought a load of 20+ embossed Western Stoneware Jugs, for only about $200 for the whole lot.

Oh, nevermind the half-gallon Wynkoop's, I think I see a dry-rotted sparkplug wire off a 1915 Indian!

It's All Theater, meant to entertain not to be truthful or real. Bread and Circuses you know! A distraction from the real events shaping your future and the future of your children and grandchildren. You can have all the porn you want, all the drugs you want, all the booze you want, just don't pay any attention to us, signed: the bastards in charge!.....Joe McDonough

I have even noticed in some episodes where they are picking it will be summer or winter...but then when it shows them talking outside some times it will be reversed..geez I guess at times they don't add that part for months... YEP RICK'S little smart butt laugh drives me crazy too..wish some times they would show a piece they have bought and see the price sticker they have put on it..but then it seems some people ever understand they will never get top price for their item at a PAWN SHOP!! My theory is since they are in VEGAS..many just want gambling money... SHARON I saw the one of PICKERS where they bought the stone ware..man they got a great deal!!DANG Wish I had that rare hard to find piece of rust they crave!!JAMIE

LOL....good show....entertaining for sure...but as with almost everyone, I like when they walk past a showcase full of bottles and jars and pick up a rust ole oil can.......the wife gets a kick out of it. David

I used to like those shows for the items. You all ways tell they was fake, set up.. And then with AE admitting they was staged (during the fight with hester on storage wars). It just made it more clear most of it staged. All those people just actors.. I seen American pickers, the restoring guy's show (can't think of name at moment), and shipping wars... all 3 went to same house for different items, on each of their shows.. The one with the train in the yard.. Talk about set up.. I have more fun going to the flea market, auctions, etc.... and seeing the real old items people found and the crazy people buying and selling them..lol They usually a little more real..lol
