I wanted to but couldn't!

Better Late Then Never

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Its a relief to see a fun and easygoing show like this next to all the competitive head biting *I am angry and I don't know why* shows that you see where people only talk crap behind each others backs and are too full of them self. Kudos to the gentlemen who brought back some decency onto TV, I enjoy the show greatly and its also nice to see some breathtaking Canadian countryside along the way. Thank you Canadians for bringing back a bit of faith in humanity. I might actually visit Canada now sometime because of this show, hospitable people, great views and endless nature,relaxing and fun it truly seems.

I have watched pretty much every episode of American Pickers. Mike and Frank have a genuine friendliness that makes you want to have a beer with them and come back. The two clowns of Canadian Pickers are barely watchable. When I saw the initial commercials previewing this show, I was excited, but these two Albertians leave much to be desired. Maybe it's because I don't follow the Calgary Stampede or wear a goofy cowboy hat, but these guys are often rude and insulting to the people they haggle with. And I am so tired of the "...and how much would you be needin for this?" line they use all the time. It's enough to make someone throw up. They also try to make it funny. Nice try boys, but no dice. In the east it comes off as stupid. I'll stick to American Pickers. They are likable. It's just too bad they had to pick a couple of cowboys in Canada. Shoulda picked some boys from Ontario, maybe some québécois or east coasters.

This show is in no way reflective of real life picking. This is a glamorized and satirized and then dramatized Television programme that has dropped in quality since day one.It had a naive charm at first but after the 2nd season the real Bull in the china shop was apparent and it was in the form of ultra rich but ultra greedy Scott Cozens who is a Lawyer. He acts like he's hard done by with every transaction but really why the put on? The red faced pot bellied pig is the scammiest dude on TV. Sheldon Smithers technically isn't much different but he represents the quiet one who is friendly to all. But it's questionable as he is so called friends with Scott.So now to the drama and fakeness. Why do they bother to do these lame cold calls? They are all prearranged just like on American Pickers. They have a host of people setting up the scene LONG before they arrive at the doorstep. This is where they try to weave in some reality but it's so staged it's sickening. The acting is terrible and now you have this kid Keenan and his 'dad' who are helping erect this warehouse. Did anyone see in season two where they sold off all the goods they collected along the way. Pathetic and you can bear witness that they had NO true ownership whatsoever to the items except when you see Scott bully his way on camera to things like Vinyl records where he offers surprised to be on camera folks the lowest ball number in the universe then he'll flip it for 10x at least. He is pond scum. So they have this kid acting to work and they are promoting his boxing career. It's so contrived and they make him to look like a lug head and set up fake accidents. I don't know why they are spinning this angle in, I guess people aren't calling as much for them to come rape their house. I recommend to all that are selling antiques, sell to the humble collector who doesn't come a TV contract and crew to trample your grass. These guys are greed brothers incorporated. A horrible precedent packaged in a fluffy - dumb down format oh guess what, the Hitler channel I mean History channel. The half good part of this is seeing the kind souls they dupe and the nice Canadian Country side. that's a gem for television.

I love this show and find it more entertaining than American Pickers. Sheldon and Scott are much more charismatic than Mike and Frank, with a great sense of humour. They don't have a Danielle, so there is none of that checking in and lame back and forth about leads....more time for picking! While they are interested in cars, motorcycles, bikes, and signs like the American Pickers, their interests are more diverse. Women will enjoy that the Canadian pickers will look at art, furniture, folk art, glass, and "knick knacks" that AP would never bother with. Sometimes they visit Antique shows and purchase items from small museums. Of course, it is also a bonus that they will focus on Canadian History, and Canadian collectibles, because information on Canadian collectibles can be harder to find.2013 Addendum: the addition of Keenan the boxer to the cast was awful and his scenes were an utter waste of time. The recent addition of two new staff for the retail location was an improvement, as they seemed to know their stuff. - Every show has to have permission to film, so while there is such a thing as a "cold call", obviously we never get to see the initial discussion before a person is filmed and acts as if they've never seen Sheldon and Scott or spoken to a producer.
