User Reviews

Absolute scum!

This show angers me for so many reasons! The family is scum and absolutely horrible to watch! Even the mother, who I saw once trying to shoot at a range, is scum! The rings she wore we're probably from someone down and out! The attitudes of this family are horrible from the skinny drawn out father with the mullet to the bitchy daughter who should not be on the show at all! I love to see different collectible items that are bought in to pawn shops but this show concentrates on drug addled black people or mentally deranged homeless desperates who get ripped off by this family! The vibe you get from the show is simply scum! Just scum! I know that people who pawn things are on hard times so it is a sad atmosphere to be in but these people take this to a whole new scummy level! The owners are worse than the customers! Again, the owners are WORSE than the customers! The producers should find a better pawn shop with reputable management to feature on these shows! It is not good when you get annoyed when watching a show because I just turn the channel!
