This isn't your grandmother's Saturday morning antiquing. Pickers like Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz are on a mission to recycle America, even if it means diving into countless piles of grimy junk or getting chased away by a gun-wielding homeowner. Hitting Middle Americas back roads from coast to coast, the two men earn a living by restoring forgotten relics to their former glory, transforming one person's trash into another's treasure. American Pickers follows Mike and Frank as they scour the country for hidden gems in junkyards, basements, garages and barns, meeting quirky characters and hearing amazing stories that provide a window into a bygone era. If you think the antique business is all about upscale boutiques and buttoned-up dealers, this show may change your mind and teach you a thing or two about history along the way.
