Ghost Town Gold

Hey, I know this is a reality show, but we really enjoyed the road trips through the Western States, seeing all the old goodies, hearing the stories related to the items, even though I 'm sure some of them were not necessarily right on. And some of the folks who lived there were real fun to watch their different personalities and reactions, yes, even though it was staged. But for anyone who enjoys the history of the west, it's just a fun kick back show. And if you're a picker, of course, it's fun to learn about some new items that you've never seen or heard of. Don't look at this as reality, it's entertainment. Then you'll have fun. Adios!

Old stuff is cool, but this show is like any other retarded US made "reality" show. All fake and staged. Entering a building to meet someone, and what to you know..there is a camera inside to tape what is staged to seem real. Brand names blurred out even if the item is and old "lost" treasure. Items looking shiny even if it have been stores away for many many years. Shows like this should be illegal to make. I don't know why they are so pop, and these kind of shows are made in all kind of wrappings, but the concept is the same. Fake it or stage it. How hard is it to make a real show? Doesn't people feel insulted? Real life isn't all "wow" ALL the time.

Pretty sure if they stopped by the local gas station to take a leak, they'd find Buffalo Bill's rifle hanging on the bathroom stall wall and a pair of original Levis signed by Billy the Kid under the sink.

Everywhere they go, rare and valuable treasures just pour out. It's almost as though they've been placed there waiting for the pickers to find them.

Because that's exactly how the show has been set up.

Obviously the same premise as American Pickers, but with a focus on western history. These 2 guys are not as smooth on camera as the hosts of AP, but hey, it's their first season. I shudder to imagine how awkward I would be on TV.

By episode 2 it became obvious to me that there was friction between the hosts, maybe that's why there is only one season. Whereas AP hosts are in business together and share the profits, these two guys are in direct competition for items, and basically fighting over the profits. By the last episode they are intentionally sabotaging each other's deals, maybe that's what made it entertaining.

I love American Pickers, but I get tired of seeing them go gaga over toys and ugly cars. It is nice to see a show with a focus on old western memorabilia, since I live in the west and I love old western stuff. I have been to half of the towns they go to in season one, so it resonates with me. I enjoyed the first season, and I wish there was more.

I found it entertaining, which is why I watch TV.

I like to pick a little myself, so I like this show. Entertaining, a little humor and a couple of good 'ole boys teaching you a few things about picking.
