I've enjoyed Pawn Stars over the years, though the last two seasons have been less interesting, as the jokes are redundant and it gets tiring watching the same infighting, as humorous as they attempt to make it. The original beauty of the program was to watch what happened between the customers and the staff, not listen to the family and Chumlee constantly berating each other. It isn't funny any more.
So it is, this new show is not funny either. It's a very complicated game, and most of the prizes are so odd that no one would want them any way. But the worst part is that it just isn't interesting. It's like watching a group of bored people playing a game that even they don't like.
How about getting back to basics? Give the old show a much needed new direction. Forget the new show. How about acknowledging the new and healthy weight losses that some cast members are achieving? How about a little background on how they have all gotten to where they are today? How about giving other staff members some exposure. The show needs a deep infusion of new ideas. Obviously, these are great business people who have achieved a lot in their lives. They cannot be as boring as this show makes them appear. Change direction before your audience drops off to much less than these talented people deserve. Please! I actually like these people. I know they deserve better.
