Hardcore Pawn

[wil3ur]

See, you listed a bunch of good shows, while during the same era they were airing several stinkers as well (dare I say "Mr. Ed").

There are several shows on nowadays that are passable for good family entertainment. What ruins it for me is the amount of advertising thrown at us every 7 minutes.

This is why I say T.V. sucks and rarely watch any live programming, instead I use the DVR frequently. That way I get to skip the ads. Unfortunately I have no choice when it comes to product placement.


I mean c'mon man... really?

And yes, Hardcore Pawn is really trashy, but just about any "reality" show is.

what's wrong with Mr. Ed?

Hardcore pawn is just a rip off of Pawn Stars, History channel learned a lesson when they went behind the Pawn Stars Back to make "Cajun Pawn".

Pawn stars is interesting for the stuff that comes in, its pretty basic: You bring in an item - they don't know anything about it - they call in an expert.

Expert says at auction it sells for 10,000 - pawn guys offer to buy it for $2000, person whines and argues then agrees to sell it for $2225.

Chumlee buys up some hidious item and plays with it till it breaks.

aaaaaaaaaand this sums up the show.

the items however are great source of info, Hardcore pawn is just showing some trashy people trying to sell a $20 tv for $50.

I've never seen Hardcore Pawn (even though I'm from Detroit), but that's a pretty accurate assessment of Pawn Stars.  Pawn Stars I find entertaining enough to watch if I see that its on, but I don't go out of my way to watch it.

......and you'd be incorrect.   The two shows are NOTHING ALIKE.   Nothing was "ripped off".

Hardcore Pawn was created to cash on the Pawn Stars, so says the woman who created the show and runs the network.

Look her up, she's pretty smart - took a dying company and rebuilt it.
