In Canada, most of these "bargain" shows end up on OLN (Outdoors Life/Living? Network). It seems that they pick up any hot show and add the word "warrior", "wars", or "hunter" to it and that seems to justify its inclusion to the network programming. Ghosthunters, Storage Hunters, Mantracker, Storage Wars, et cetera, they're not very creative with the titles.

JB---You're absolutely correct, and in truth I don't watch those shows. Caught a few episodes of PS (back when it was pretty new), quickly achieved terminal
overload and haven't been back there since. Caught about 30 seconds of DD one time, grabbed the clicker, ran for my life and haven't gone back there since.

In fact, the thought you offered above has already been put forth and taken a step further in a post a couple months ago downstairs in the PM forum, when
one of the posters there was defending some previous posts and said "if you don't like it, don't read it."

I've noticed that if TV doesn't include sex, violence, and vampires, it isn't interesting to most people. God, guns, and clean living, where's the excitement there?

The guys on Pawn Stars remind me of Ferengis, for you Trekkies out there. Looked at that way, the show becomes quite amusing.

I can see how the Rules of Acquisition would apply to a pawn shop.
