ABC News says:

If it seems like there's only garbage on TV lately, there's a good reason. "Trash" has become cable television's treasure. In April the History Channel had its highest ratings ever, bolstered by a runaway hit, now among the top 10 shows on cable.

Read about it here.

Seriously, this show had me knee-slapping laughing my head off.  It's so stinking clever and fun and just great (plus that Mike guy is easy on the eyes).

The ABC article continues by saying:

"American Pickers" averaged 3.8 million total viewers in its first season of ten episodes. Not bad for an idea Wolfe says he tried to pitch for four years, shooting homemade episodes with Fritz using a small video camera. When he showed his "pilots" to executives at History, Wolfe says they knew they had a hit. Now "picking" has turned Wolfe and Fritz, a couple of middle-aged, blue collar antiques collectors from Iowa into an overnight sensation.

The neat thing about it is they use Amercian History as a backbone to their trash collecting.  It seems they do pretty well with re-selling the items they find.  Take a look.

Here's a clip of what they do.

So, what do you say, Kelly.  Do you want to go on the road?  What fun we would have shopping trash and talking fashion. 
This clip is so much fun.  These guys are naturals.

Trash is catching on.  What will you find this weekend?
