The show is on right now (at least in central time zone). Share your opinions on the show here.

My first impression of the show is that it is an exact copy of Pawn Stars. It's just different guys and different stuff.

My first thought is they are trying too hard to be a "Pawn Star" clone including the "Chumlee" like goof ball character....

Because it's a formula that works.
American Restoration is the same way with his kid.

That's what they want is a Pawn Star clone.

Agreed. It is pretty dramatic and I don't believe most of the transactions are real, but it's a fun waste of time.

Agreed. It is pretty formulaic and I don't believe any of the transactions are real, but it's a fun waste of time.

Hey idiot, just ask Jim Brown for an autograph.
If you're that close I'm sure he'd say yes ::facepalm::

No kidding, if they had Brown authenticate a game used piece or something other than an auto that was probably signed at a card show, it would have been a little less painful to watch...

It has to last that long.

Considering the whopping success of All-Star Dealers, I give it another week... maybe.

There are many stores around the county that probably are way more interesting than the store portrayed in this show. I think if the producers really wanted to make a great show about a real stpre, they would have done more research first.

Looks incredibly amateur. Not much different than the back corner of a usps outlet that locals have described. Plus, it looks like it's filmed with a camcorder and edited by a high school media class. Won't watch any more. And yeah, Comic Book Men rules
