<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Circus, post: 1866772, member: 51195&quot;]I have to say, that I thought about watching the show for about 15 secs! Then I remember that it is an unreality show on TV! there is nothing real about the sow other than the location and sometimes they are recreations of something that happened while not taping. Some where on the shows web site will be a disclaimer about what goes on.</p><p>I to have a number of books with stories of Oak island etc. But any TV show is scripted and staged. whether it is the UFO/aliens or American Pickers. The producers of that show spent almost a complete day with a friend, working out everything the stuff they would buy, and prices, the stuff they wouldn&#039;t. All this was for a segment that lasted 5 minutes. Even the guy they went to that chased them off with the shotgun was a set up! they supplied the home made keep out sign. Since his neighbor had a store bought one on nice poles. They happened to have one in the grip truck!</p><p>The ax men and that Bering sea gold ones have to be the phoniest ones out there. What they show on the commercials, would have the state, and feds and some times the police shutting them down in an eyeblink.</p><p>They need the BS, and characters along with the back stories to keep the viewers watching. </p><p>If you were running a pawn shop/coin shop would you keep that TV idiot Chumlee working for more than a week. I don&#039;t care if he was the daughters husband he would be out in the real world. It is an act! that shop employs over 50 people, Rick was on the news channels complaining about what the health care law will do to his shop.</p><p>The couple of other pawn shows didn&#039;t last long, as they didn&#039;t have as much &quot;Drama&quot; in them.</p><p>The episode of Bones about the money pit was pretty good, if you haven&#039;t seen it hunt it up. They did stick to the facts of the real money pit!</p><p><br /></p><p>Just remember all reality shows are unreality shows and are &quot;Entertainment&quot;. All you have to think of is were you work, it might be interesting for about 30 minutes. If you didn&#039;t inject stuff into it. That&#039;s why they always have writers on those shows.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
