The Gist
Rick (The Spotter), his dad (The Old Man) and his son (The Big Hoss) own the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop located in Las Vegas, Nevada. Every day they see hundreds of cool historical items come on the shop and some that are complete fakes. They have to be able to spot the difference or they will lose the trust of their buyers and sellers. With the help of some specialist they will buy, sell and pawn things you could have sworn were destroyed years ago.

I apologize in advance for the crappy gist. This is a really hard show to explain because it isn't exactly a reality show, but it's not fiction either so it is kind of in the miscellaneous section. I found this show from my dad, one day he was watching it and I started making fun of him for watching "educational" TV, but after watching it for a while I found that it was actually really interesting. Sometimes these guys will find some really, really interesting stuff. Something that they find or people bring in you didn't think existed or how it was saved after all these years. The guys on this show are also really funny and personable. The one problem that I have with show is that after you watch 7 or 8 episodes you feel as if you have seen them all. I don't really watch this show anymore because of my last statement. For these first 7 or 8 episodes you are completely engrossed and can't wait until the next episode but after that oh great, they found another 100 year old artifact worth a lot of money. Then sometimes they mix it up with a piece of artwork, a car or some sports memorabilia but I have seen it all before. The great thing about this show is when you watch the episodes with things you haven't seen before you learn without knowing it. I learned a bunch of history that I didn't know existed from watching this show and I didn't mind because I was entertained. If school taught like they do on pawn stars people may start doing better on tests and actually look forward to going every morning. In the end, this is an above average show but can't be watched in marathons and should be taken in small amounts in long time span.
