    Are your ads running national or local?


    Think B.A. Where did you hide the Megos?

      just in local Knoxville and surrounding areas via comcast... I am gonna start pre-movie ads if it takes off, then branch out a bit... See how it goes, I just thought these 2 shows would be good starters, I also run "rotator" spots that are cheaper and I have no idea when they run or air...

            It's obviously full of set ups and about as real as any other reality tv show but I watch it when I catch it and I enjoy all the neat stuff people bring in.
            You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                  Ilkied the episode where Rick got the key/gun with out calling the expert. When the expert came in he told him it was worth alot. So Rick sold it to him at a realy low price for all his help.

                      I was originally hooked by the cool stuff, but I have to admit the characters and their interdynamics really grew on me.

                      I keep wondering if Chumlee is as dumb/lazy as he plays on TV... or if he's in "character". At first I always wondered why they didn't just fire him, but then I caught on after a while that he's Big Hoss' childhood buddy and like family to those guys.

                      He's definitely earning his keep now as a "personality" on the show. I'd like to see more Peaches. She's always amusing whenever they have her on the occassional episode.

                        As a hypothetical game, do you guys think you have anything interesting that you would take into their Pawn Shop that they might feature on the show?

                          I am addicted to that show. I would have bought that Pez lot. It had some awesome examples. The comic book episode was funny. I think they felt bad for the guy selling them LOL. I would have passed on them

                            Chumlee actually really knows his stuff and just plays dumb as part of his persona. There was an early episode where Big Hoss made a bet with his father about knowledge of items in store. Chumlee was the one teaching Big Hoss everything.

                            There was also another episode where he was trying to raise enough money in commissions to purchase a motorcycle. He was selling stuff left and right and definitely knew what he was talking about.
