Mike Wolfe is fighting to get the American Pickers ratings back up. The show has been at an all-time low since after Frank Fritz left in 2020. The last two seasons have seen ratings fall to very low numbers. Some episodes have even failed to reach 500,000 viewers. This week, Mike is trying to lure viewers back in by promising a “legend” would join him in an “epic” episode.

Here is who is joining Mike for the episode and who bad ratings are getting.

Mike Wolfe Brings In ‘Legend’ For ‘Epic’ American Pickers Episode

Mike Wolfe has said that a “legend” will be joining him for an “epic” day of filming as they work on American Pickers Season 27. He made the announcement via his Instagram account, and he seems very excited about this moment playing out on his reality TV show.

The legend is Chip Foose. The photo Mike shared had him...

Earlier this year, Johnny Depp got married to actress Amber Heard, and while some couples may still be in their "honeymoon" phase after a few months, Johnny Depp has skipped right ahead to the "pranking your wife" stage of their relationship. Entertainment Tonight has debuted a new video from the Velocity TV series Overhaulin, which teamed up with Johnny Depp for an epic prank, where they convinced his wife that her beloved 1968 Mustang was stolen. As it turns out, the car wasn't stolen at all, but was fully restored by the Overhaulin team.

The actress has had the car for eight years, which she described as a "beautiful piece of junk," and she also revealed that the car actually caused quite a bit of financial problems for her when she was just starting out in Hollywood. Despite being stolen twice, she still hung on to it for all of these years,...

Naughty pranks sometimes reap the best rewards.

Johnny Depp employed the cast of Velocity's Overhaulin' to prank his wife Amber Heard into believing her beloved 1968 Mustang had been stolen for the third time, when in reality, it was just getting a sweet makeover.

In a special sneak peek of the show, shared by Et, the actress got all worked up when "police officers" failed to look for her "stolen" vehicle and instead took unwarranted selfies with her and Depp.

"Get my car back!" Heard yelled at the officers, who were really host Chris Jacobs and famed custom car designer Chip Foose in disguise.

Discovery Communication's Velocity, a cable network for men who love cars, airs its world premiere of the final season of Overhaulin', November 4 at 9 Pm Et/Pt. Overhaulin', hosted by Chip Foose, will air four final episodes, before series end. While no one is saying the show is cancelled, the press release makes it clear that Overhaulin' is driving to its final destination -- a TV series finale. For fans, there is little difference between an ending and an official cancellation.

The four-episode season nine kicks off with special guests Johnny Depp and Amber Heard (and her 1968 red Ford Mustang) appearing in the season nine premiere, and once more, before the series finale.Read More…...

DVD Playhouse: March 2010

Precious: Based On The Novel “Push” By Sapphire (Lionsgate) In-your-face, but undeniably powerful film that follows the plight of an overweight inner-city teen (Gabourey Sidbe, a real find) who must deal with an abusive mother (Mo’Nique, in a career-making turn for which she won a most-deserved Best Supporting Actress Oscar), a baby born of her abusive, and absent, father, and trying to survive day-to-day with few people to offer her help, save for a sympathetic teacher (Paula Patton) in a special ed program. Director/producer Lee Daniels, a former personal manager/producer-turned-filmmaker, brings a kitchen sink authenticity to the proceedings, along with a cast of famous powerhouse performers, who manage to disappear into their roles. Tough stuff, but not to be missed. Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay (Geoffrey Fletcher). Bonuses: Commentary by Daniels; Featurettes; Interviews with Sapphire and Daniels; Deleted scene. Widescreen. Dolby 5.1 surround.
