Never watched this show before, but it's supposed to be in front of a live audience. You hear the audience & they pal to the audience, but they never show the audience.

Other than that, the show kinda sucks.

The Pawn Stars time is just about up.

^^^jumped the shark, you say

Well, the show is just so repetitive, seems too set up, and once Rick started doing infomercials for razors and this cheesy game show, it has just lost its appeal. Also, the actual shop was kinda cool at first. It looked nothing like the show and kinda run down which I thought was really awesome, genuine and refreshing.. I checked it out again not two weeks ago and it's just full of crap, shirts, items for tourists. I get it, their job is to make money but the novelty has now worn off.

I don't watch much TV, but I remember when this show was advertised, I thought the end was near for them. That thought also crept in tonight when they advertised to tune in next week for the season finally. Dunno, but it seems the show has only been on a couple of months.
