I saw this on Netflix streaming, but never gave it much thought. But then I had a friend recommend giving it a watch. So I did. And I found myself watching 6 episodes in a row. If American Choppers and the Antiques Roadshow got together for a steamy night of passion and romance, and nine months later had a kid, Pawn Stars would be the result of that illicit affair. It's basically a reality show about this family that runs a pawn shop in vegas, and the stuff they see come into their store. It's hard to describe without making it sound lame, but I am really digging the show so far. |

They have some cool stuff on there. I don't watch regular but I've caught it on a time or two. |

Fun show. Sometimes they do marathons of it and I'll watch several in a row, but I don't make a habit of watching it. I think it's on late at night if I remember right. If I were less lazy I would set it to DVR. It'd be great to have on tap for those 'nothings on, check the DVR' moments. |

I enjoy Pawn Stars when they're not doing the drama of the kid ****, etc. I'm never really sure if the father (not grandpa) really does know all the stuff he talks about, though. |

The grandpa reminds me of the dad from "Big Fish" both in terms of looks and voice. |

I like watching it just to see what people bring in, but the interaction between the family is pretty dysfunctional. I actually like watching the show where the guys go around buying antiques of stuff, American Pickers I think it's called. |

My favorite was the one where a lady came in with a Faberge broach and wanted $1k for it. He told her it was worth $25k, so then she asked for $28k. |

I have to say, I'd put this show pretty far into the 'auction' category and only very slightly into 'reality'. Most of the non-auction stuff is kept extremely limited in duration. I try not to go out of my way to watch television, but if I come across this already on I usually end up staying against my will to watch it! ...though part of me has to hope that youngest son is hamming it up a little. He reminds me of a dog. He's always around, doesn't participate in the conversation all that much, slow to respond like a lazy dog... even gets scolded in the same fashion as a dog. I am continually surprised when he shows signs of higher intelligence. |
