American Rsetoration

I've only seen eight minutes of it, but it's my new favorite show.

I just tuned in to it. Isn't that the guy that was on Pawn Stars that said he restores a lot of stuff for the pawn shop?

Yeah, it looks like a spinoff from Pawn Stars. That Hopalong Cassidy bicycle was kind of neat, but as usual on these kinds of shows they glossed over details...I noticed the brake arm on the rear wheel wasn't even hooked up.

Yep, and several times I thought it would be nice if they did a show with him and his business. Sort of a GRM for everything.

Yep, I'm checking it out now. I like what he did with the Kelvinator, although a purist would probably not like the fabrication on the freezer door.

I'm just hoping they avoid phony deadlines and infighting among the employees and focus on the work.

More work, less recap. That first episode had 5 minutes of actual "footage"...

I figure you are just about right. I've noticed the same on most of these tyoes of shows.
