Buck531 Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Recently, there have been multiple TV shows that are basically the same thing. Pawn Stars, Hardcore Pawn, Pawn ladies, Pawn this, and Pawn that. Then there's the storage locker stuff. There's one on Spike, a different one on History, and I think Discovery, and now Tru TV. Anyone seen Repo Games on Spike? Those people are freakin' idiots. One lady didn't know the Rice Crispy box characters. The next question was.. who flew the kite in a thunderstorm. She said Bill Clinton. Awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 They are cheap to develop, decent audience numbers from the initial shows have led to copycats. I watch Pawn stars, and even a little hardcore pawn if nothing else is on but the storage shows are all bs. I cant stand those 2 jackass' on auction hunters and people fail to realize at least that show is just a re-enactment of their "biggest scores". The ladies pawn show is just retarded. I am sure there will be another restoration type show soon to compete with American restoration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buck531 Posted June 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 isnt that how tv has been for at least a little while now? survivor, man vs wild, survivorman, dual survival, etc? real world vs big brother? price is right vs lets make a deal? I see your point. However, Survivor man, man vs wild, dual survival are each a little different. The Pawn shows and the storage locker ones are almost identical. I just watched like 2 1/2 hours of Hardcore Pawn (I thought it was Hardcore Porn when I was flipping through the channels). That show is just fucked up. It's in detroit and everyone in there wanting to pawn stuff off looks like they just want it for drugs anyways. At least Pawn Stars seems to have some type of classy people. Shrug.

unfunnyryan Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 cheap to produce... the pawn and storage locker ones are probably being done by some of the same film crews even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even have cable, its a waste of money I wish I could.. but when you work from home, you need to be occupied by something. Lately, Black Ops isn't doing it for me, or I'm busy doing something with work and dork with the 360. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco-REX Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 One show I don't think it's possible to duplicate is Oddities. I love that show. The shop and the items they deal with are neat and weird, but what makes the show are the customers. The owners of the shop are more normal than a lot of these people. I love it. Some of these people are just plain creepy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
