Farewell Pawn Stars

#81
The street right behind the pawn shop is nothing but converted residential homes doing business as bail bondsmen and attorneys offices, wont have far to go for those services. The courthouse is literally across the street.

I lost interest when the old man stopped being on the show.

If Chumlee doesn't make it out of jail in time, they will simply replace him with another actor, which he is. They'll just find another Barney Google. Maybe a big fat Harley riding girl this time.

Like ALL so-called "reality" shows Pawn Stars is totally scripted and prepped. I speak from experience - I ran a very nice pawn shop for 2 years. NO ONE sells that kind of high end stuff to a pawn shop no mater where it is.

The reality part of the show IS that they make a boatload of money even without the TV show. Pawn shops are very lucrative if you run them right.

I agree, except that apprently he and Corey actually have been friends since childhood. Of course that could be a lie too, I read it on the internet.

Ever since I found out years ago that Operation Repo was faked I've become totally skeptical of any and all "reality" shows...

It's a pawn shop, fer cryin' out loud.

Shouldn't we expect the employees to be using drugs, keeping unregistered guns and engaging in depraved sexual acts?

I live in Vegas, and I've been in that pawn shop more than once - and no, it isn't much of a pawn shop, IMO. While I wouldn't expect the employees to be the scum of the earth, I also wouldn't expect them to be any better than they had to be, either. In person, without a camera pointed at them - they certainly didn't impress me a whole lot; and that was before they were TV Stars....:rolleyes:

And TLC was called, "The Learning Channel", they used to show surgeries and other neat science shows.
The knee surgery was funny because at one point the knee squirted out liquid a good distance and the surgeon just jams his finger in the hole. :eek:
I still get a good laugh at that.

I call it the Sideshow channel.

They have the fat man, the midgets, the bearded lady, the tattoo freak, I'm sure the live chicken eating geek is coming next season!!
