All these new reality shows are, IMHO, scripted, and rather boring. They do occasionaly come across a very interesting object, but normaly go over cheap americana. For example, I watched an episode of Pawn Stars tonight, and a man brought in a Spanish gold coin. This coin was valued at over 18 thousand dollars, and could have had much more elaborated about its history, but recieved a whopping 5-8 minutes (max.) of the show's airtime. Most of the shows time was taken up by a high torque motorbike from less than 40 years ago.
Atleast its better than Ice-Swamp-Crab-Logger.
