Watching American Pickers tonite

[C Body Bob]

Don’t watch the show much anymore. I think I got burned out. Tonite they are in Tennessee & a guy has a lot of containers & storage trailers. As they are walking up to one there is a old yellow Dodge tow truck. The camera briefly shows it. Looked to be in restorable shape. They never showed it or talked about it. Really frustrating as they dig out a box of old rusty broken marine gauges & spend several minutes talking about those before paying $600 for the lot of them.

I love that show.

I use to never miss an episode. Bet I’ve only watched 4 or 5 all year.

It beats 95% of all the garbage that passes for television entertainment.

Yep that’s why I was watching last night. 250 plus channels of pure junk.

If I had cable/satellite it would be one of the very few shows I'd watch.

The first couple of years was cool, then, with each additional season it became more and more scripted. Haven't watched it for years. I'm still in love with Dannie, though.

Haven't watched it in years, staying in the hospital gets old fast so we watched 4 hrs of it last night with guy selling his military collection, it was entertaining. Another with old motorcycle collection, good stuff, yes, much more polished than I remember.

Who cares? I just like looking at the old stuff and actually find the cast quite entertaining and the show very informative.

Used to watch it, we cut the cable a couple years ago. Just use antenna, Netflix and Amazon. I think I could find it somewhere like Hulu but haven't tried.

Yes, forgot the Roku.

I heard they just spent 25K on what's left of an old Aerosmith van.

Or so the script said. I watched that episode and it was neat, Boston area.

I watched it for years...then slowly faded away after one particular episode where they dug up some lady's backyard looking for an old Indian motorcycle in little pieces.

I watched it for the first couple years and then it got boring to me.

I discovered Forged in Fire and watch that all the time. It's like a cooking show, except they use steel and cut stuff up.

The first season of American Choppers was real and I loved it.
Seasons 2+ went the formula route and I quickly dropped out.
Ditto for American Hot Rod.

I actually enjoyed Lizzard Lick Towing. The prefabricated scripts were hysterical.
