I learned tonight that guns get more if they fire- even if they are well over 200 years old.

I did start watching for a little bit today, but was channel flipping to King Of The Hill reruns.
What was in the treasure chest?

We make games to see who can guess what obvious dud of a line is gonna fall out of the old man's mouth every scene. I usually win...so dreadfully deadpan both in content and delivery, you know it's scripted. And the subject matter not even being remotely interesting doesn't help.
But the fact that they have shows about people "staging" homes for sale, and "cake masters" and stuff is really scraping the bottom of the barrel, the editors have to be on a combination of crack and deals with Satan just to try to cull through footage to get something show-able. Just so damn lame. I mean really, LOBSTERMEN? Wasn't "deadliest catch" enough? We need another show about a motley crew of drunks catching Lobsters now?
Where's the Garbagemen show? Or the High-end restaurant lavatory attendant show? Or maybe the Prison laundry room show? Or the school cafeteria workers show? Or worse: SCHOOL BUS DRIVERS.... I can see it now. I honestly can.

| | | | No question an OCC rip, but I really like it. It's interesting to see the values of all the strange stuff people bring in. |

| There was a show called "parking Wars" that followed officers ticketing, booting and towing illiegaly parked cars. I guess the video game will be out soon. |

Did you see the one when the guy brought in the old Gibson guitar? That thing was so sweet when the luthier finished with it. My son and I try and pick out the guitars and basses hanging behind them.

to me its different than OCC, but then again my love is business. On OCC you saw a small shop get huge and now due to the economy and loosing its star is starting to shrink. The dynamics are huge. I don't care about the bikes. I think the idea of a themed bike is stupid. Shows how much I know. But watching this from a business and HR perspective is great.
PS is already a mature business and not much is going to change from a business perspective. A lot less interesting from the business perspective but a lot of fun to see what people bring in.

Not true at all. If anything, Mythbusters is informative and almost educational, and How it's made is more of the same. Dirty Jobs as well. It's one thing to be educational and informative while chronicaling the day-to-day, exposing the viewer to things they may not be aware of in relation to their own everyday...
it's quite another, as in the case of OCC & Ace of Cakes and stuff where they add in fake drama and static to aggrandize their otherwise mundane professions. I mean, same thing with the lame hairdresser swap shows, and the bridezillas and the like. I mean come on "say yes to the dress"? How do you make a show about Yentas fighting over overpriced wedding dresses? Ooooh, this guy used 5 pounds of fondant to sculpt a bunch of fake planet cakes and all that. Wow, compelling.

| | that video LIES | | Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Northern California | | | I enjoy the train wreck feeling I get watching someone bring in a POS, expecting to get a mil. There was an old lady w/a 1920s typewriter that her mother had bought her brand-new; she asked for $5,000(dude offered her $100, which I think was pretty generous). Last night a guy had a key fob w/'Willie Nelson' engraved on it- claimed it went to Willie's Rolls or something. *Old Man* sneered, fob-guy left, w/his fob- saying he'd get ahold of Willie someday to verify the claim.
Edit: Looks up *Yenta*
Sweet- a new insult, & Yiddish to boot!
