If you would have asked me two years ago if I would watch a show on either the Discovery channel or the History channel, I would have told you, "No." This is hard to believe now that both of these channels have been on my favorite list on my television for almost two years now. I do not care what show it is, I will watch it so intently that I wouldn't even know if there was a fire in my room.
My "go to show" is definitely Pawn Stars on the History channel. It is a show about this pawn shop in Las Vegas, NV. People bring in their old collectibles or just items that they believe to be worth some money and the workers get the item appraised then they will sometimes buy the item. It probably doesn't sound all that intriguing and now that I have read over my description of the show, I don't find it that intriguing, but I promise you it'll have your attention for hours.
My new favorite show is on the Discovery channel. It is called Auction Kings. I found the show while channel surfing with one of my roommates. It reminded me a lot of Pawn Stars, so I made my roommate watch it with me. In this show there is this company that people can take their old items to and the company will put them in their auction. So they get their items appraised and then put in the auction. Here is an example: an employee of a used book store brought in one of the very first copies of The Great Gatsby. It was appraised for around $200 and it sold in the auction for around $300. I also don't know why this show appeals to me.
The point of this post is to let everyone know that there is more to reality tv than people think. I don't just sit around a watch American Idol or Jersey Shore all the time. There are other shows out there that people would even consider to be reality tv. Not all reality tv shows are filled with drama and offer an award at the end.
