Did PS and Ricks restro have a falling out???

NEw PS on and they get a pedal car in, and he takes it to count chocula's custom shop instead of Rick???

That is a very odd move

Maybe flack over Rick restro getting his own spin off show that failed???

Did you manage to get the Old Man's name, or do they keep that a secret in person too?

+1. It's kinda amazing how many of the best shows are on the History Channel.

I noticed that too. Ricks resto hasn't been on TV since the first bunch of episodes. Something's up.

Rick and his son were likeable but his "drunk" helper was not air worthy.

I liked how he would interupt Rick to tell a customer, " I did all the work" like a real professional, der..........

[Maybe he don't drink, but he has that drunk mannerisms of a big drinker, that after so many years don't go away but still, not cool.]

I didn't like the way they manhandled the golf cart that was to be restored for the Old Man in the 1st episode. After seeing their unprofessional handling of it, it really put me off.

I love Pawn Stars. I think Hard Core Pawn or whatever it is is extremely fake. I saw a preview commercial before it aired and that didnt even interest me. To many jack asses trying to be big Gangsters or some shit. I think they are Italian maybe? Cant remember, but probably trying to go back to their Mafia roots or something.

Id like to check out this storage show. Ive been to a few auctions like that on the other side of the states. They are pretty neat. Might not see anything, get the locker for $10 and come out with $10,000 worth of buried junk.

Tell me it isn't so, pawn stars is all a setup, watching re-runs, in walks Rick's restro brother trying to sell PS Rick an old coke machine "that had been in his family for years"??? an old beat up bullet hole coke machine, PS Rick pays $300 for this machine and then guess what, he takes it to Ricks restro to get restored???

Did they even restore it or just do a camera swap, do they even restore anything???

Oh Ive lost all faith in TV

I have seen pawn stars take an item in from a guy, than at the end of the show, he picks it up, its different. So they are all scripted to an extent.
