Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Nonureva Really Surprised!

NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Rusty Silverado First of all the kind of nick knacks and garbage bores the crap out of me, the fact that Sheldon can't tell a Ford from a Chevy or that Scott does not know about older bikes or motorcycles shows that they have no business being on TV or calling themselves "pickers". The show should be called Grandma Grifters. Whenever there is something of value regardless of how boring it might be Scott low brows and talks down to the sellers in such a way that makes me ashamed he uses Canadian in the title of the show. Not to mention his yes man Sheldon who pretends to be on the sellers side with the statement "that sounds like a good deal to me". And Sheldon only seems to know about stuff Grandmothers are interested in. Add to all this are the stupid sound effects, totally un watchable.The American Pickers have far more knowledge in classic machinery and at times make the occasional mistake that shows that they are at times winging it. At least I feel like I've learned something after watching the American guys.

patherwill I can't remember ever giving a film, TV show or any other programme of any genre the full mark before and I do so with this show simply because to me at least it achieves everything. Now I know there are going to be detractors who read this who say or think 'how can anyone give 10/10 to such a simplistic piece of reality TV?' Well, if in the reviewers eyes THAT particular show is informative,is amusing,is interesting,has beautiful scenery throughout with people bartering their wares all the way and the two main protagonists so knowledgeable in their field what more can you want? And in MY eyes THIS programme DOES have ALL THAT and more.My only complaints or disappointments was when I found that the series had been cancelled and that, so far at least I have been unable to find it on DVD to purchase.If anyone knows different please add some note as to where it can be found and bought.

jefflenglet Strange to see people slamming this show as its way better than American Pickers. Scott and Sheldon actually know their stuff. The American pickers don't seem to know what they are buying 80% of the time unless its a bike. Scott and Sheldon seem to know exactly what they are dealing in. Except guitars. Scott has demonstrated he's pretty green when it comes to guitars old and new.The guys on American pickers act like little boys and annoy me. Scott and Sheldon are characters. People have mentioned they are insulting. I don't see it. In fact they appear to have manners. The fact that Scott is a lawyer doesn't make him rich either. I am sure he does OK but why would anyone slam him for having ambition and education? Also how does that make him fake? If anything it shows he truly loves picking as he doesn't have to do it - he wants to do it. Most lawyers are not rich. Plumbers make more out of school than a fresh lawyer does. Scott and his wife have their own practice. Good for them. We need more mom and pop operations.I for one enjoy Canadian Pickers much more than American Pickers. Of course it is staged. Pretty hard to film Pickers arriving if no one was already there with a camera. How else are they going to make a show? Two guys holding handycams would be unwatchable.It does get boring. The Keenan character was a mystery to me as he really took away from the show. Somebody's kid? Overall though its a good show. Maybe I am biased as I grew up in Alberta. The Alberta attitude is the best in the land no question.

AceTheMovieCritic I am a fan of the American Pickers, and watched it quite a bit when it came out. I myself being a collector of books, thought seeing what other people take to collecting as extremely entertaining, and the hosts were quite entertaining as well. Some of the collections they pick, which some would think was just a junk heap, can contain some really old, and incredibly amazing stuff. On a whole, very interesting.Then I heard that they were making a version for good ole' Canada, and truthfully I wasn't sure what to think. I, living in BC, have seen numerous houses packed to the brim with old an interesting objects, that I was sure the pickers would love to visit, but the idea of it just seemed like it was going to be a useless rehash, so I didn't pay attention. It wasn't until probably around January of 2012 when I saw an episode of it, and I must say I was impressed. Scott and Sheldon are competent hosts that are classic Albertans, and a joy to watch. And the picks are also surprisingly good; a show I'd definitely recommend if you were a fan of the American series.
