American Pickers

[Pixel]

I've pretty much decided the values on Antiques Roadshow are often inflated.

This stuff bound to impact the target market. I've seen ads on craigslist for "Alabama Pickers" or something like that.

Is this where people are getting the idea that a mostly functional but about 70% complete square top in unrestored condition is worth $600?

Yes

Funny "jumped the shark" episode is getting mentioned.  I was trying to explain that saying to my 13 year old son the other day and as I explained it we were scrolling through the TV guide and we happened upon that exact episode of Happy Days right before the Fonz (in his leather jacket) jumped the shark!!!!

... yes and yet we continue to tune in

Spend half the time spent watching TV mending something. Be amazed at what projects will get done.

I watch Pickers for what's in the background rather than what they actually pick...

Wrestling is Fake? Are you serious? Haha. I have a buddy that I race vintage MX with. He was a 2 time world tag team champion with Jimmy "super fly" Snooka back in the day. My buddies name is JT Southern. JT was asked if wrestling was fake at one of our nationals. His response was that wrestling is in the "entertaining business" but that you can also get seriously hurt.

lol.... I play wrestle with my 6 year old son.... he is always Macho Man (because I gave him my macho man figure when I was  a kid)... and me?  I am always Jimmy Superfly.
I still remember to this day how upset I was when I saw the Superfly pile driven onto the concrete and they took him away on a stretcher.  Oh the horror!

OOOOOOO yea,,......... DIG IT!

Don't recall names but seems there was a stand up comedy clown that thought it was fake. Got his neck broke testing that theory. Had K's in his name.

Saw Andre the Giant and the rest of the show a few times in the midwest. Must have been miserable performing in nowhere for nothing. They all took time before and after the show to sign autographs/ pic's whatever.

Illegal body toss over the top rope. He hit that concrete floor hard.
Up now. He's grabbed a folding chair and is coming back into the ring...
Great times.
