What did you think about Barry'd Treasure?
I thought that there were some funny scenes, but it just reminded me of the same staged antics of Barry that we saw on Storage Wars. I withdraw my prediction that this will be the new #1 show on TV. It was mildly entertaining at best.

I watched it and was NOT impressed in the least. Most of the show was about little side antics. I will give it one more show and then move on.

I agree...it's more of a cross between Only in America, with Larry the Cable Guy, and American Pickers.
-
I forgot it was on so have no opinion. Guess I will have to try to catch it in rerun. Maybe it's not worth my time with your reviews.
-
It was dumb! Not sure I understand the point. So he goes to look at a guys collection, goes out and finds a buyer to bring back and the buyer and seller work out a deal. So...he's a broker now? Pretty boring.
-
I didn't love it but its no worse than many other shows out there.
I've met Barry and he is genuinely like this and very little of him is scripted. Knowing that makes it a little better for me.
-
2nd episode was a little better than the first. Very little meat to the show though.
I'd like to know if he is getting a commission on the items he brokers?
-
It doesn't have structure or really a path to follow. I like his antics which is why I'll watch a bit more.
-
About 2 mins of trading and getting a deal done, then random staged antics that are random. I fast forward through all of that and watch first part of show and last part of show. Takes me 3 mins to watch
-
I think the Barry antics are supposed to be 'the show'. The actual selling of items is just the excuse to get him out on the road.
-
After watching several episodes I think I can say that it's starting to grow on me a bit. I still think the actual buying is the sideshow, with Barry's antic being the meat and potatoes of the show. Things like when he got a midget skateboarder to skateboard in a headstand through an antique shop, to me that's the funny part.

I think the show is made up and silly, it's not even partially realistic.

Doesn't your description cover close to 90% of the shows out there on TV?

At least Barry has some hilarious one liners. Besides, where else are you going to see a smoking monkey smogging out a Jetsons mobile?

Speaking of which...did you see how slow that bubble went up and down. I was like, I think I would lay back and take a nap waiting for that thing to open.

Now who else could ever do a show driving around in the Batmobile?
Way 8)

I set the DVR to record the show, Watched one episode (well not the whole thing even) and then deleted the rest along with the timer for it.

The Batmobile was on Pawn Stars stars the other day.

Yeah, I saw that, that was ridiculous, you think they could have put some kind of actuator that was a little faster than that thing! Cool car, but that was disappointing.

I made it past a few more shows than that, but not much....I had a bunch of them recorded and just couldn't bring myself to watch them all. Fast forwarded through most of them and deleted the rest....sucks too, because I do like Barry but the show just sucks!
Pawn Stars sucks IMO.
Why do you think Pawnstars sucks so bad? I kind of like it and you do get a lot of history on a lot of items.....I think that is the best part.

I just find it to be overly boring.

I agree. I used to watch American Pickers for the same reason, but got bored with the show. Don't know why exactly. Never got bored with Pawn Stars, I like the cast & the dry humor.
