Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Mike American Pickers can be taken as different things. For me, I watch it when I want something that's somewhat educational as well as calming. There's no negative drama as other reality shows feature as their selling point. Yes, it is scripted to a degree. Anything with cameras will have to be. However, the interactions between Mike and Frank and the people they see are interesting.Danielle fills a role that is needed also. She may not be as informed as they are about items but she has more than enough know-how to manage their shop(s) and go out on the occasional pick.As far as others speaking on them ripping people off, they run a business. It's not charity. Most of these people who sell to them don't have the resources to do so on their own. I've also seen people compare Pickers to Antique Roadshow. Again, not the same thing. These guys are on the road, picking items that not everyone would consider to be valuable. It's a niche thing. They're not sitting at a table for half an hour discussing one item without an interest to purchase it. And even those items may not be interesting to everyone. No one is making these people sell. I'd sell to them if I had something they'd be interested in. If I'm not going to keep it and I can make money then why not? This show clearly isn't for everyone, but there's no need to be ugly about it. While it is part entertainment there are levels of education. No one is saying you should forgo American History to watch this show but if you're looking for something interesting and a time-filler then this is the show for you. They've passed through my neck of the woods and I've not heard anything negative about them.The only draw-back is when they feature others on the show like the Pawn Stars and American Restoration. It just takes away from the show.

Mona Telier My crew and I have a list of all the places these con artists have gone to. We can hardly wait to cheat that 90 yr old guy out of his weather-vane. The one in the midwest that got mad because they kept him waiting while poring through his things. The less tech savy the seller, the better. If we buy a porcelain sign for $300.00, the person thinks we're heroes because he really thought it was only worth $30. What he doesn't know is it's actually worth 3000.00. This show is going to spawn a lot of copycats. Here's how your own experience will go.Hi, you don't know us, but we want to look through all your valuable antiques and collectibles and get you to sell them as cheaply as possible. We'll confuse each deal by appealing to your emotions, "bundling" things together to get 2 cheap items instead of 1, noting each item's faults, and relying on your ignorance.If you don't want to sell, we'll just come back when you're not home !!!!!!!

flyercrazygw These guys are so fake, however Frank's cheap and self centered attitude is for real. I've watched this guy haggle over $5 for an item he is going to make a few hundred dollars on, can't stand to watch him wheel and deal with people so I mute the TV when he is ripping off people. Their laughs are so phony and Frank never has anything of value to say, everything he says is so obvious, his grammar is so juvenile and he comes across very uneducated with his comments like "she don't have to know", "he don't know nothing", "we was going to do that", he makes me and thousands of people sick with his cheap dealings, get a clue you little fat piece of crap, people disrespect you because you rip people off "it's just the picker in me", bull!

jwilliamsoh Great show really. Don't need to analyze this until next Tuesday.. Its an interesting show. I don't see how they make enough money to pay overhead and actually make a living.. but good show.Now I will say that sometimes Frank seems like he thinks he is above some people... And the way they talk about Dani in the office... Sometimes its not very polite and she is why they have places to go in the first place....While I question the value they put on some items the content is interesting and it helps pass the time in the evening when you are winding down.
