The History Channel never fails to surprise me.For years they have been creating fake reality shows and constantly making them even more fake.This show was created to lie about where the people from Pawn Stars took things to get restored, just like Counting Cars.And just like those other two shows, AR followed the exact same fake path.One season they had a bunch of celebrities pretend to be customers and then the next season they starting having fully scripted stories with a cold open setting up the sadness.The show was never interesting or believable and should have not lasted more than one season.Now History has surprised me once again.Instead of canceling a miserable failure,they just decided to change the cast and make it even less exciting.That was possibly the dumbest move any TV executive ever made.This show and network should never be watched by anyone.

I am a long term electronic service engineer specialized to professional video tape recorders. I do also much restoration work with old radios etc. It is just awful to see how they destroy those nice old things removing every single nuance and original paint they have. Even if the paintwork is really good for its age. They repaint using their own colors which usually are too bright and do not fit to these old beauties. Also they ruin labels and texts when they can't do them right. They use wrong fonts and wrong colors etc. Also they change old, beautiful gears and buttons and other things which made the apparatus look so fine. Why? Did they sell those to real restorers or museums? Also the prices are something ridiculous. I wonder if anybody really has paid those huge sums for that bad job. One of the worst was the Nasa helmet they totally ruined.

It's contrived and clearly the worst of the Pawn Stars spin offs. But it's worse than just contrived - the show is gross. It's truly cringe worthy for one singular reason - the "kowboy" jerk. He's the stereotypical insecure, moronic, mean spirited jerk we all have known too many off. He's not controversial - he's generic. His brand of miserable does not generate hype for a show, it repels viewers. In fact, I lost respect for the business owner - whoever employs, let alone showcases, a jerk-loser-moron like "Kowboy" is trash. Certain people are toxic, and this "kowboy" is radioactive toxic. The show is bad regardless of this moron, but his presence makes it nauseating. I'll watch Discovery, and leave History channel is history as far as my TV is concerned.

This show should at least be an hour long. Every aspect of this show is just great. I could watch it all day long. If you want to get rid of something, how about dumping that show that has all the fat slobs who are nothing but down right thieves. That's right those assholes on Pawn Stars The only good thing about the Pawn Stars show was the spin off, American Restoration. We need more American Restoration. That show has all the good things in life going on. Family, creativity, comrades working together. Taking something old and worn out and making it just like brand new. It really shows the beauty in items that you might have never noticed. Some folks feel the prices are a bit high but they need to understand that the area that they live has a higher cost of living. Another thing is no matter what the cost charged, the item is always worth more after Rick and his team do their magic. It just a good clean show. Something that we need more of instead of all the garbage that comes across our screens. Another quick note, how about a show with the Rick that does the motorcycles and hot rods for that bunch on pawn stars?
