American Pickers...A TOP Pick
From the moment I saw a teaser for American Pickers in December, I couldn't wait to see the first show. As a former flea market and yard sale addict, I miss the days when you really could find some amazing pieces of American history or pop culture at such venues. But those days were gone decades ago. So the thought that I could enjoy that vicariously through this show was pretty intriguing.
And it did not disappoint. American Pickers is everything I hoped for and more. Mike and Frank really know their stuff, and the people they come across in their travels are a breed of American which is quickly disappearing...along with the treasures they have hidden in barns, garages, old opera houses, and even tunnels!
One of the charming attributes of this series is the way Mike and Frank relate to each other. There are none of the insane ego dramas which plague-no, make that completely destroy-other reality shows. And over the time that these two have worked and traveled...
LOVE THIS SHOW!
Great info and teh guys crack me up! Great and very safe show to watch with children and right for any one who remebers!
A Tasty Slice of Picking LIfe
For 10 minutes, I wasn't sure I could live with these guys for several episodes, but then I warmed up, and then I was hooked. Mike grew on me. I liked that the guys didn't seem to be too concerned with everything being politically correct or too nicey nicey. The best part is getting inside those houses, barns, sheds, and warehouses! What a treat, meeting all manner of old coots and proud junk owners and collectors/hoarders. Also the stuff is quintessentially American.
Nice series, I'll watch more.
