Cowan, her fellow appraiser, was
blunter. He slipped in the subtle insult of not even knowing the name of
the show pretending to take his antique throne:
“I think it’s also important to
remember that those shows are totally staged,” he said. “‘Antiques
Roadshow’ is not. It’s completely legit. So is it really reasonable to
think that someone on ‘Storage Locker Wars’ is going to find a $100,000
item that somebody left in a storage locker?”
"Storage Locker Wars" and "Pawn Shop Stars" are just staged entertainment. Storage Wars was so staged they are alleged to have put expensive items in a locker to make it seem more of a find. After I read that I stopped watching that show.
Pawn Stars pretty much amounts to the bald-bearded guy trying to low-ball a bunch of clueless people. There is never the joy you see when an appraiser on Antiques Roadshow tells someone that their supposedly worthless junk is actually worth big money. Pawn Stars is like if they told grandma her rocking chair is actually worth more than her house and then a few minutes later some bald asshole offers $10 for it.
