Hardcore Pawn. I am originally from the Detroit area and the show disgusts me especially when people in our area truly think that is how everyone in Detroit acts.
I feel your pain. That's how I feel about that stupid show "Portlandia" when people outside Portland think that's how everyone here acts.
I've really got a thing about COMMERCIALS ... They are all pretty much brain-dead fodder that rely on feelings and emotions, rather than any factual content or product information.
We pretty much record anything we plan to watch (particularly real-time sports) and then fast-forward through the commercials.

It wasn't TOO bad when it first started.
But now, with everyone coming into the store wanting to get onto HP......they go into the store acting totally bats**t crazy.
This show is one of the fakest "Reality" shows on the air.
Hardcore Pawn.... is that all staged for the camera? I think its obvious the store owners ham it up for the camera and the drama is about as real as The Kardashians. But some of the lowlifes and nitwits that come through there, I'm just not sure if thats staged or not. .

We don't live in the Detroit area anymore but I have a friend that goes in there a lot. The jewelry selection I guess is pretty good. He said the store has always been calm when he goes in and not very busy unlike what you see on the cameras. I personally think they put the word out when filming is going on.
The customers are nuts and definitely ham it up for the cameras but I think the store owners are about as low life as some of the idiots that walk in the door.

Yes, Les and his creepy kids do not come across as real classy to me. But I just love the hairstyle that Les chose.......greasy-half-mullet.

Did I mention that my friend asked for a picture and Les said ya but for 5 bucks. I guess someone thinks he is a movie star already.
