American Pickers

There is a show that is televised on the History channel at 9pm on Mondays called American Pickers. The show is kind of corny however it kind of relates to a topic in class. In the book The Professor's House, when Roddy sells the old materials to the German. Tom got upset because he was giving away the history they should have been preserving. Well in the show American Pickers, these guys go around and they scour the country for hidden gems in junkyards, basements, garages and barns. They buy these antiques, then help preserve them. They show how all across America there is history everywhere and while trying to preserve the materials and they may teach you a thing or two about American history along the way.
