Pawn Stars now on broadcast TV

Just noticed them advertising this on the CW. In Baltimore it's on 54.1 from midnight to 1AM. I already programmed by OTA DVR to pick it up. I don't have cable.

Could've just used the internet.

By the way, it's fake. No pawn shop runs like that. It is good entertainment though. If you don't take the family or Chum serious. It's obvious some of it is staged, but it can still be funny or just interesting looking at cool old stuff.

yeah, it was just fun to have on in the background for cool stories about the items. i stopped doing even that when they started doing horribly obvious product placement and spending half the episodes on family drama and such.

Yeah, a bit like Antiques Roadshow with less old furniture and a bunch of turds mixed in.

I read somewhere that Rick doesn't even go to the shop unless they get a call about particular items in advance. But yeah, the stories are what makes it.

They have 2 shops I believe. The real pawn shop which is like every single pawn shop in the US. Then the staged one that has all the cool antiques and art which history channel pays for.

The store I work at was also approached to do a similar show. They wanted to set up an extra part to the store and play trivia games. But the owners declined because it would be too much hassle. They wanted us to film on Sundays when we were closed.

The company ultimately went to a nearby city and filmed Combat Pawn which lasted about 5 episodes.

Is the staged one literally a stage?

Agreed. The first few seasons were decent. Then they sold out to 5 hour energy.
