I find the show very entertaining and informative. It’s fast becoming one of my favorites. I do find the "controversy" surrounding American Pickers amusing. I don’t hear any outrage when someone turns up on Antiques Roadshow with a painting worth $5,000 that they bought at a garage sale for $75. Why is that? Personally, I’d rather see Mike and Frank of American Pickers in action. It’s much more fun.
