Anybody watchin'

Cajun Pawn Stars? Its filmed in Alexanderia at Silver Dollar Pawn and Jewelry. Its pretty depressing.
Just another attempt at look at the fat-stupid people of Louisiana with their backwoods catch phrases.

 

[S&W4ME]

Definitely not as good as the original Pawn Stars

The backwoods catch phrases are my favorite part about the fat stupid people of Louisiana.

original pawn stars isn't worth a watch IMO either. An Alexandria is too far North to claim "Cajun"

The biggest insult is calling people from around Alexandria, "Cajun".

If America knew what a real Cajun is, they would be impressed.

Long story short... Cajuns didn't cry and scream at the Government when Rita hit. We fixed our problems ourselves.

I admire that. I think the world would be a better place if everyone did this.

I can never remember any of them but "chicken snake fightin with a weedeater. " was pretty funny.

No that one was mine but watching the show it seemed obvious that just about everyone had to spit out some sort of scripted saying.

 

[03protege]

I met someone from New Jersey and he could not believe I was from Louisiana. He swore that everyone in LA were missing teeth and talked like Bubba Gump.

In all honesty though, I though everyone from New Jersey looked like this:

Dont they?

 

[glimmerman]

I bet they don't show "Bid Daddy' aka "Elvis" telling his pilot to keep flying when engine trouble developed and they ultimately crashed and killed his son.............

 

[themcfarland]

I stumbled into that store before I knew they were filming last month.. signs all over saying it.. IMO everything was retail priced and it was just like grandma's clutter room.. nothing worth looking at..

No way, everyone up here knows that Alexandria is the cut off point you can talk with an accent without being laughed at to your face. Behind your back is not only allowed but encouraged though.

I had the misfortune of working for a family from Bossier, the oldest & dumbest son was taking over the business and he was the only one in the family that had a Cajun accent. I guess the X on the end of his name causes the accent gene to randomly appear in 1 out of 50 people, because no one else in his family sounded like they had ever been within 20 miles of home.

Back on topic, I saw this show in the listings and would have watched it if I hadn't already gone through the "wtf that show looks stupid, oooo cool look at the stuff brought in, uggh scripted stupid crap + fake haggling I'm done with this show" phase with the original.

And the guy on the original laughs like

The pawn shop owner looks a lot like the owner of my local liquor store! I found that amusing.
It's just like any other "reality" show- scripted. I do find some of them interesting though. I enjoy history and old stuff, so it is interesting to me to just see some of the items "brought in". And fact is, a lot of those people are willing to sell artifacts and family heirlooms.

 

[my-rifle]

Get rid of cable! Just say NO!

Really, seriously. Stop watching that crap. disconnect cable TV and get all your content streamed from the internet to your TV. It's easy, and this show is a classic example of why you should do so. If you get your content from the internet you can watch whatever you want whenever you want it. You don't have to be satisfied with whatever pablum the networks choose to offer.

Just run the video out from a computer to the video input of your TV. If you run Windows 7 on the computer you can sit back in an easy chair, and run it with a remote control.

But then we would miss out on how amazingly bad some of this can be.
Example...S&S Aqua logging...the first season everyone said how sorry they were, but I said its because they so bad that made them the best part of the show.

HOLY COW!!!!!!!!! The outside looked almost like it was in a nice part of town. Did anyone else notice?

I'll drive twenty minutes out of my way to avoid Lee St. like the plague. Granted, they're right at the corner and it's not *too* bad but it darned sure didn't look like it was only a block from Thug Street. It really looked like it was on the main street of a nice sleepy antique row of some small town.

The rest of it, that Tammy chick tried way too hard to be another Stephanie when she disagreed with Dad's purchase. (Although I'd love to *see* Will haul a pooping goat into RJF, ballistics testing?)


And who the hell brings in a $500K unique collection just to pay a $20k payroll? WHATEVER! Either you're sinking and you're too dumb to notice because an honest business will have a revolving credit line at the bank or you're already bullshitting the viewers just to be on television.


I will watch it again to see Joker though. That guy was a hoot.
