anmeijers 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.
Para Normal I love this show, it is awesome! The guys are very likable and they find a lot of cool treasures. I think it is much better than the boring American Pickers, much more entertaining. I also enjoyed the new episode where they journeyed to the UK, it was a nice little change and they found some real cool stuff. I never was really big on reality TV but with shows like Canadian Pickers I can really get into it. I think the finding of old antique and unique items is what really interests me as I would love to do something like this, search old places for hidden gems. It's almost like a mystery cause you never know what you are going to find, it would be very exciting! I hope they continue with this show for quite a while!8/10
Brian-munroe-690-394657 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.
nephalinesyenite 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.
