Trato Feito: A Competição

AMEN!!

Christopher Titus, the current host of "Pawnography", is an over-bearing humorless and down-right insufferable jerk. He has the dis-respectfulness of a John McEnroe and the crassness of a Howard Stern, cubed. Titus has the kind of personality which makes King Kong look like an honorable gentleman. His cutting little comments are about as funny as Joseph McCarthy during his hearings in the Senate Subcommittee on Internal Security in the early 1950's. Whether Titus is liberal or conservative, I don't care. I might have rated the show about a 7, but with Titus, it rates 3 points lower. Only Titus could make Stein seem like a courteous gentleman. Maybe the reason they got Titus is he makes the other Pawn Stars, Harrison, Corey and Chumlee, seem much more socially courteous and respectful. As long as Titus is hosting, I probably won't be able to suffer the insufferable.

Pawnography Essentially Ben Stein's Money with an Insufferable Host: Should be Called "Win Rick Harrison's Stuff" Author: classical Steve from Oakland, CA 31 July 2014

I consider myself a clever fellow. I have studied history for over 10 years. And it is sad that when I watch this show it means jack squat.

The rules are straight forward. The questions are simple but complex.

If you were ever a fan of Titus? This show is up your alley. The host is quick witted and he knows his stuff too. There was a few references to his break through performance "Norman Rockwell is bleeding" but it was very subtle in the questions of a few episodes.

Rick, Corey, Chumlee work well in this scenario. Also it's fun seeing Rick's face when they are losing. Some of the items have more sentimental value than cash value and too me that makes this show interesting.

If you like history? Artifacts? Fun questions? This show is for you.

Great to see diversity from the History Channel.

As if their obnoxious lowballing antics aren't enough on one show,rick has become so far king unbearable & clueless coreys not far behind.It's obviously rigged so the scabby mutton heads win.

I've enjoyed Pawn Stars over the years, though the last two seasons have been less interesting, as the jokes are redundant and it gets tiring watching the same infighting, as humorous as they attempt to make it. The original beauty of the program was to watch what happened between the customers and the staff, not listen to the family and Chumlee constantly berating each other. It isn't funny any more.

So it is, this new show is not funny either. It's a very complicated game, and most of the prizes are so odd that no one would want them any way. But the worst part is that it just isn't interesting. It's like watching a group of bored people playing a game that even they don't like.

How about getting back to basics? Give the old show a much needed new direction. Forget the new show. How about acknowledging the new and healthy weight losses that some cast members are achieving? How about a little background on how they have all gotten to where they are today? How about giving other staff members some exposure. The show needs a deep infusion of new ideas. Obviously, these are great business people who have achieved a lot in their lives. They cannot be as boring as this show makes them appear. Change direction before your audience drops off to much less than these talented people deserve. Please! I actually like these people. I know they deserve better.

BEYOND Dreadful

An interesting idea for a show that is rendered unwatchable by the obnoxiousness of the cast. I also question whether the show is 100% on the up and up.

Christopher Titus, host, is simply annoying. He is obnoxious, overbearing and NOT funny, as far as I can tell the only people who laugh at his 'jokes' are the people on camera (and I suspect there's a flashing "LAUGH" sign right above the lens on the cameras).

Rick Harrison, who is quite likable on Pawn Stars, comes off as an insufferable bore on this show. Not content with answering questions he often feels the need to offer details (not all of which are accurate), which raises questions about the integrity of the game.

When was the last time you saw a contestant of a game show answer a question successfully and THEN go on to provide further details than provided by the host?

He comes off like an arrogant Cliff Clavin.

Of course this could have something to do with the fact that the questions are all geared to Rick's interests (he IS a smart guy).

Definitely worth missing.
