Pawn Stars is just Antique Roadshow trying to act tough. Hardcore Pawn is the real fucking deal.

1. I like Pawn Stars..

The stuff broght in is cooler.

2. I agree, it does have better stuff. In fact, the stuff is so good that it becomes the focal point..

of the show, which is why I likened it to Antique Roadshow. Hardcore Pawn is much more about the interaction between the people.

3. Pawn Star is okay but I can't stand Rick --

that disgusting, snickering, condescending laugh makes my hackles rise. He also seems to have a nasty temper and mean streak.

5. The biggest asshole is Corey. He's an abusive wanna be thug. Locals hate the fucker.

4. I am a big fan of Pawn Stars.

Tried watching Hardcore Pawn and it dried up another chunk of the puddle of my remaining belief that humans aren't all idiots. I don't know how that guy and his staff deal with the bone-stupid, crazy and abusive people that walk into his shop. I guess that's why he has so many big bouncers.

American Pickers is a lot of fun, too.

6. I just wish ALL these shows would die.

Die. Die. :grr:

Seen the one about the rental container wars? Oh my god, what else will they try to put on TV? A bounty hunter named after an animal??? How about a woman who whips your kids into shape?
