It's entertaining to see the crazies on this, of course it's fake. But so is WWE wrestling. Is it the greatest series on tv among the likes of the over rated game of thrones or breaking bad. No. I doubt I'd be able to watch this weekly either. This show is a guilty pleasure for me to binge watch after a long day. Find me any reality show that is real.. let alone as entertaining. All I can think of is Honey Boo boo, the kardashians or jersey shore how awful all 3 of them are.
What I can't stand is all the conflict the brother and sister have. If you've got a sibling you know how it can be but it's just silly how the script is written around all of them. One of my favorites who was on it and the episode screamed fake was for a $20,000 watch the old man (Les) paid $5,000 for to only find out it's fake. He then phones the man pretending he'll buy his other watches. Shouts at the man and magically the money comes out of his wallet. Who walks around with $5000 cash in a rough neighborhood like 8 mile in Detroit and politely just hands it back over. Or when they had a 1954 Fender Stratocaster electric guitar (first year they were sold) they had it in a really bad place where it could fall over as they can easily fetch around $50,000 to $100,000 area. The way they handled it in the back they had no idea what they were doing if it was a real 1954 strat and it was so poorly researched for the script on the show.
It's amazing how little the staff gets hit. One security guard always seems to push them all out. None of them have receipts, no one makes police reports when a spouse or loved one steals and pawns their stuff and every customer the kids or the old man (Les) can't wait to come from behind bullet proof glass to stare them down and even walks some out of the store just so they can have the last word. They always say stuff like "GO AHEAD, HIT ME!!" I just find it amazing they can buy pretty much anything say a bar stool let's say Ron Jeremy sat on and then 5 or 10 minutes into the episode someone buys it and Les or one of the kids tells the viewers how awesome they are. I'll admit though a few episodes I did burst out laughing but some viewers are just overly fake to the point you question how much they got paid to do or say what they did.
I'd rather this than Friends, Seinfeld, Fraiser , The office or Big Bang Theory any day of the week.
