Was just thinking about how many "Junk TV" shows that have popped up in the last 2 years.
The most recent (at the time of my writing this) is "The Big American Auction", which I mentioned in my last posting.
Another new show called "Real Deal" aired Nov 27th on History Channel (USA).
Others that have aired in the last 2 years include (in no particular order):
American Pickers
Canadian Pickers
Cash & Cari
Pawn Stars
Hardcore Pawn
Picker Sisters
Storage Wars
Storage Wars: Texas
Auction Hunters
Storage Hunters
Born Dealers / Natural Born Dealers (retitled "Born Dealers" for Discovery TV of Canada)
Another recent spin-off of PAWN STARS is about to air, also. Surprise, surprise...not.
It is set in central Louisiana, entitled.....wait for it.....CAJUN PAWN STARS ! Actually, I don't know if that is the official title.....
Damn, it IS the official title...!
Oh well, guess it was the only natural choice.
Now, I am also waiting for an AMERICAN version of THIS show to arrive!
The blogger of that article calls it "Antiques Roadshow With A Sledgehammer!"
Personally, I think that would actually make a darn fine real name for the American version of the show....and I'd LOVE to host it!
As a dealer who is SO tired of repros, fakes, etc messing up the market place & values, and causing anguish among beginning collectors and long time collectors alike, not to mention us dealers... it would be SO cool to see some of that crap get what it deserves!
Imagine, smashing the crap out of fakes, repros, etc...a dream job for some dealers! Imagine the satisfaction you would get from your job!
Hmmm.....I think I am going to go now....I need to get my resume ready....and hone up on my sledgehammer swingin' skills....
