My brother in Belfast is totally hooked on this show. He can binge watch this for hours on end. He called it when Frank left the show that it'd tank...
Axed American Pickers Fred (most people call him Frank for god-knows what reason) Fritz is getting his revenge - the cable show’s ratings have hit the junk heap without him!
Sources say the History Channel’s antiques show has been losing viewers since fan fave Frank, 58, last appeared in March 2020.
The March 19 episode of the latest season, the series’ 23rd, brought in just 830,000 viewers - a far cry from the 1,282,000 viewers who tuned in for Frank’s finale.
Frank, a treasures and artifacts finder, was officially bounced from American Pickers last July after a hiatus to recover from back surgery that involved inserting two rods in his spine. He also went to rehab to get sober.
Sources say he left the show amid a falling-out with his former TV partner of 21 seasons, 57-year-old Mike Wolfe, whose younger brother Robbie, 55, took his job.
Meanwhile, sources say the show’s recent nosedive is “sweet revenge” for Frank.“He’s telling anyone who’ll listen that they’re getting their just rewards now,” spills an insider. “It’s given him a large measure of satisfaction to see the show spiraling downward and those guys suffering because of it.”
“This is the viewers’ way of saying the show’s just not the same without Frank.”
I never cared for the greedy little fat fuck and all this shit he talks tells me I was right. He's a fucking whiner and a dick. But that's just me. Not a one of that crowd is hurting for cash, or shouldn't be.

Funny thing.....I would've respected him if he had shown enough class to refuse comment on the failing show....but that's just me....
ReplyDeleteI'm just tired of all these so-called reality shows that are nothing but bulshit. Oh what a surprise the cameraman came into the house first!
