I'm keen to get opinions on the reality TV show Hardcore Pawn.

Personally I've never been a fan of 'reality television' shows - they merely show mediocre people "doing their job" - repo, cooking, pawn, etc - but those programs are still popular, for some reason.

Les Gold needs a stylist in a very big way, but apart from that, I've heard that he and his family [[son and daughter) are heavily involved in Detroit charities and are hardly ever in their own store.
