American Pickers is one of those shows you can just leave on all day and you'll never get bored.
I thought I was the only one I've turned it on in the morning and watched it straight into the afternoon, don't know what that says about me but what the heck😆
We do.
I've probably watched some of the episodes 6 or 7 times and I'll watch em 6 or 7 more. So many interesting people and things in this country. We are truly fortunate!
I totally agree! Love the show!
Every wednesday on DEFY network which is an over the air channel. Starts at 1PM and goes thru the night. Hope Frankie gets well soon and comes to the show. Not as good without him.
Saving America, one piece at a time. Thank you.
Mike Wolfe is truly an American Hero!!!
Absolutely the best show on television.
He is aging like a very fine wine. And have to love a man who has a passion for old buildings
I really like Mike a lot. Genuine, passionate, kind and charismatic. Frank and Danielle are great too.
Old bldgs are so beautiful and have such character. It's a shame that people don't appreciate them.
WE NEED TO SAVE THOSE OLD BLDGS!!!
True that !!
THEY DONT DO THAT HERE IN CONNECTICUT THEY KNOCK DOWN THE OLD STUFF FOR BRAND NEW 500K HOMES UNREAL
I love that comment "It,s like a cross between Antiques Road Show and Hoarders"
I love it Mike is such a good guy.
Mike is so genuinely passionate about preserving the past and especially about appreciating and enjoying the people he meets in his adventures. He’s such a cool dude. And I get a kick out of his joyous giggle. 🤣😎
Jeanne BlondeWomanStamping I agree. And how he treats those people and their possessions with respect.
You can see this passion in the people who appraise for Antiques Road show as well. When the Keno brothers would see a truly one of a kind piece of furniture brought in for them to appraise, they would lose control of themselves. My young daughter would see them on TV and run in my room screaming....the dancing leprechauns are on Antiques Road Show!!! Pure joy from the appreciation of an item that is unique. Love it.
Such good people and what a beautiful America we've had.
I love Mike and Frank I have seen ever show God bless
He's truly a good Man, his mama raised him right! 👍
their show is a tribute to old "americana". and that alone is a rarity on tv. Very thankful it exists.
If every person in the world had a heart like his this world would be a better place
You got that right, I love the show and what Mike does, I hope he continues for years to come.
KlipschHead281 same
Your so right..you know what, I posted something so similar you what you posted..I think that's wonderful. God bless Mike Wolf
BluDevil35 very true agreed.
I love American pickers, they are very kind guys ,I love what they have accomplished
Thanks to Mike and American Pickers for giving my late father many hours of entertainment. It was his favorite show and one that he lived before RA took away his ability to pick and deal. ❤️
I totally get this guy! I love old buildings, i hate to see them neglected
Mike Wolfe. Always a Class Act. Love you and Frankie!
I love him and the show 💕💗💕💗... A piece of American nostalgia
Amazing man saving the memory of the past!
“All of these places matter”. Indeed.
Self made man who has pure passion and care for others. Shows others the credit they deserve and cares about people. What a concept! Good on you Mike, Frank, Dani and Robbie.
@Mata Pendejos There is always that one person with a negative comment and thats you
Men/Women who are self-made millionaires/billionaires have a heart to give back/protect....and the ones were handed everything in life, only want more and break every law to get it!!...because they have no clue how to work for it!....
Lee is a great reporter, and Mike is a great picker, both great guys,..thanx for sharing tis piece.
I"ve watched since the beginning , Mike has impressed me with his honesty with the sellers offering more when they don"t know what they are selling is worth more. Kudos to his Mom she did a good job raising her kids by herself. Happy Picking!
Agreed but he's taken alot more believe
You are a good man Mike, true heart, real American...
Long time fan of Mike ! A TRUE American HERO !👊🏼
Thank you CBS for having the best content! Love, love that I can watch this whenever! Xo
Sad that his Dad left and he stood by that window that window lasted in his Heart for year's I'm sure, that's a pain that most can't imagine, Mike is Awesome and i really enjoy his show and his passion for stuff and the People and the stories that go along with it......
I wonder if his father ever tried to reach out. I assume he passed away. But it reminds me of this guy I worked with. His father left to. He came back and tried to ask for money. it was not good.
Believe it or not that club is a lot bigger than most can imagine. The pain and self doubt never goes away, and you can tell by how much he dotes on his daughter that it comes down to making a decision. And that is you do not have to be the man your dad was. Nothing else matters, be there for your kids. Life is about making choices. Make the right ones.
Looks like he pulled the same thing in a way
Truly Iconic American....keep on pickin' !
Mike is a rare person, that he tries so hard to keep small town America going is a testimony to how much he loves this country. Thank you Mike, I hope you're able to keep this going for decades to come.
"This is OUR time to make a Difference"!!
Very profound words!
Awesome stuff!!
Pickers is one of the few shows on TV I really enjoy. There is so much crap on TV I am glad i found them.
Thanks for featuring my favorite show! Love Mike, Frank, Danielle and the whole gang.
Thank you Mike, for saving bicycles, loving dogs and preserving small town America ..... (and saving bicycles!!).
Right On Mike!....Keep America going!!.....the right way!!!.....I wish I had millions to do the same, but I have the heart to help out in any way.....
Mike, frank and Danielle are all great people... keeping history alive
Mike Wolfe is one of the few legends of entertainment that is genuine and honest. He will go down as one of the best in the business and that goes farther than picking.
just got to meet him
@@walterlangston7866 this comment didn't age well. Heard some bad stuff about him in regards to Frank and their friendship
My favorite TV show and one of the only shows left worth watching.
I’ve never missed an episode 👍👍
These guys are priceless!
My Absolute "Favorite 'Show 📽 I tell Everyone, just seeing Old ' America 🇱🇷 and the Stories and how Life use to be, now we have the Internet and Facebook....A different World 🌏 Now.
Mike is so awesome
Mike is humble.Very rare now in people.
Rare to find an individual who is a better person than they’re depicted on a television show.
I love american pickers..awesome show!
AWSOME STORY‼️
My favorite show is Pickers.
My favorite part is the people he/Frank meet, their own stories, the history lessons, & American road trips.
I never tire of reruns.
Thank you for your continued series of good people stories.
Mike and Frank are the reason I started preserving antiques
My favorite show! Thank You Mike and thank you History Channel !
ImNotMad ButUR -I collect John Deere diecast tractors , pedal tractors , lawn tractors , farm tractors , metal signs , antique cars , gas pumps , seed signs , old bikes , go carts , old wagons , and oil cans and gas cans . So yes i like that show , and so does my wife .great show !
This was such a rewarding story. Thank you.
Such a great story, thanks.
I love Mike Wolfe's passion, it's contagious.
Love this, love him, love Frank & Danielle, love everything ABOUT what they do!!
That moment he recalled about waiting by the window for his dad, poignant and meaningful. Seems like a great guy.
I love this show. Met Mike a few years ago and just love what he is doing.
Frank reminds me of a younger father pisegna
Mike Wolfe is doing what he loves to do. His passion about small town America and restoring one building at time is both inspiring and what's needed to bring them back to life.
I remember all the moves;Mike Wolfe!! My Fav shows American Pickers.
I am totally addicted to the show .. I miss those small-town Main streets that had so much to offer . I can remember every department store had a lunch counter so the employees could eat and it was a great place for you to go way it was shopping . And of course the old mom-and-pop restaurants where everything was 10 times better than you get today ... One of the shows I joined the most was hobo Jack everybody likes him
❤❤❤ American Pickers!!
Travelling through the small towns of America had been awesome!
Ty from Auckland NZ
Wow ! This makes me like him even more ! I’m so impressed by all that he has done !
Very humble and cool guy. Well deserved.
the world must know this guy! mike wolf is like steve jobs of "rusty gold" he's have passion, knowledge, feel fun n enjoying what he's doing. what a good n great man!! i love you guy's n frank too
I admire Mike.
He's actually there unlike Rick of Pawn Stars
Nope. Still fake, just like pawn stars.
He has to find the items for his store, Rick only needs it to come to him. Plus most of their sales are merch from the show.
I missed him when we passed through
Pawn Stars are so fake! They’re meth heads man!!
Mike is a good man, and we've been watching American Pickers for a long time and never get bored of it. Danielle and Frank are awesome too.
What a wonderful man! I love his show!
Love American Pickers and I hear ya Mike!
One of my favorite shows. Mike and Frank are funny reflections of ourselves.......Love watching what they do and where they go.........💜
I'm grateful that America Pickers was on during super bowl it gave me something to watch
You're not the only one.
So grateful
Me too! 👍
Glad it was on for you too... there were enough white folks bitching and moaning.
@@jcon504 wtf does color have to do with anything are you stupid are something
Excellent back story on Mike, I knew from watching the program he was a good guy. Watching his back story, I see he's has an interesting, and a fulfilling life, and a likable personality.
It's always refreshing to see someone using their money for good. Seeing old towns with all the windows and doors boarded up always bothers me. More towns should try and romance people like this into preserving the old storefronts and reviving the part that used to be the main hub activity. I live near a town where all the old stores are being used and it is refreshing to see the beauty of these old buildings when you go down the street as opposed to your standard strip mall.
I love this show, Even watch most reruns. Keep up the great work.
Mike is an eccentric genius! Save that small town Mike! Awesome to see him recognized here on CBS Sunday ☀️ Morning. I’m a fan!
A great guy! We need many more just like him!
Myself wife and the kids love this show. We watch all of them and learn alot
Glad to see him fixing up downtown Columbia TN !
Love this guy ❤️
Thank goodness for people like him!! He is saving America!
Yeah! The beauty of the past needs to be remembered.
Been watching those two guy's for a long time
I love his way of thinking. He is doing great work
Mike is the real deal. Met him and he is a gentleman!!
Absolutely great piece!! I always knew Mike was a genuine guy! Thanks for allowing us to see it!
I love American Pickers! ❤❤❤
I love Mike and Frank! I can't get enough of their adventures! Being a collector myself, I can relate to their thrill of the hunt. They're just really likable people it seems..
Thank you Mike!
We love this show!
It's a fantastic reality TV show & they took rust to a different level. Sw Scotland uk..
Hands down the best job in the world and to do it with a good friend
American pickers give all hoarders hope :) they should run the two shows back to back
Mike is truly an amazing guy! I have been a fan since season one and American pickers is my favorite show.
Never miss an episode! And even watch the reruns. My husband and I have our favorite's of people they have "picked", too. If I did what they do, I'd love the stories of the people and their lives first, and the collections second.
Love the show don’t think I’ve missed a single episode. This show brings back lots of memories, my mom and dad ran an auction house for ten years or so . I’ve seen many unusual people and merchandise come in and out of our doors . My dad would drive around with my brothers and I , dad would say ( HEY ) jump out and get that . I guess we were pickers and didn’t even know it back in the 80’s . Thanks Mike & Frank
I love this show!!!!!
Such a genuine person 😇😷😎
He is an amazing man. ♥️👍
I love the Pickers! My favorite show it's authentic and Mike and all the cast are wonderful! Real people!! Tattoos and all. Love Ya
I LOVE MIKE WOLFE!! I feel so much the same way he does about old buildings and old “ things”. These things “ speak” to me too ! I get goose bumps when ever I even see something old and when I actually experience it, walk into it, hold it I just LOVE that feeling! I too get an overwhelming desire to save these things!! I hope history channel NEVER cancels Mike!
It is awesome that someone believes our small towns have worth these days. Keep up the great work!
Who couldn't love Mike😁
