Pawn Stars, where they take an Antique's Road Show approach and attempt to educate the viewer on the items being pawned, is a far superior show. The comparison made between HP to the WWF is accurate. The focus on Hardcore Pawn is the people who pawn rather then the items them selves, plus the worn out sibling drama of the owner's kids. I did pawn some gold there after X mas and was given a much more fair a price and found the staff at American Jewelry to be way more professional then the other three shops I went to that day. It's a shame the show's producers don't run with that professionalism instead.
