Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Apparently some loyal followers of the three-generation Harrison clan, owners of the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop in Las Vegas and stars of the History Channel's certified hit Pawn Stars, thought there was a little false advertising with this third DVD collection. Unlike the season one and season two releases, Pawn Stars: Volume Three is not a compilation collection, rather it's a selection of 16 "fan favorites" culled from the 26 episodes of season three. Yes, completists may feel a little disgruntled, but in this case a little less may be better, especially since the show runs on what is now a pretty formulaic engine. But not to worry, there are still plenty of beloved moments with boss Rick Harrison, his dad "Old Man" Harrison, his son "Big Hoss," the knuckleheaded yet lovable lardo "Chumlee," and all those potential suckers who haggle, bargain, and plead, walking away with cash in their pockets and dollar signs still dancing in their eyes. Antiques Roadshow in Vegas or Antiques Roadshow on crack remain appropriate shorthands to describe the show's premise. Watching truly is something that becomes habit-forming regardless of one's interest in historic artifacts, novelty and pop culture relics, or unusual ephemera that has some value to somebody (maybe). Even though the formula doesn't really change, as a reality TV concept Pawn Stars is an easy sell. A customer looking to discard the unusual stuff that's been lingering in the attic or garage approaches the counter at the G&S Pawn superstore and talks about it with one or more members of the Harrison family. Nobody's looking for a loan or hocking their wedding ring so they can get back to the slot machines; this is all about the cash. Rick is pretty much the star and he seems to have a wealth of knowledge about whatever the for-sale item is. In Volume Three the objects are pretty much the same mix of war memorabilia, motorized vehicles of whatever sort, coins, autographs, documents, and shrunken heads. The customer is interviewed before and after about their dealmaking experience, while in between Rick or Old Man or Hoss gives a mini-history lesson about whatever's on the counter, complete with graphics that fill us in on history, facts, and trivia. This certainly doesn't qualify Pawn Stars as educational, mind you, but it does cast a sleek line to viewers who are easily reeled in by the debates over what is often some very cool junk. There is a level of drama as tensions rise with the eye-to-eye negotiations. Rick's attempts to lowball the customer while the customer sweats and stalls in anguish are nice little climaxes. In spite of their near-encyclopedic knowledge, Rick or one of the others will frequently call in one of their expert friends to confirm provenance or give him some sense of value. The show's pace is always lively, even in the hokey, scripted bits of comic business that go on between the boys--usually at the expense of resident fool Chumlee. Everyone is comfortable with the camera and eager to amplify their personality with war stories about the business and boastful anecdotes about their acumen or psychological prowess in bargaining with the marks who come into the store. It's a gimmick that has made checking in with the cast of Pawn Stars a genuine pleasure, and may send you to digging out that old sword or unframing that dusty picture as you imagine the bundles of greenbacks waiting for you in Las Vegas. --Ted Fry

Product Description

Product Description

The history of money-lending dates back thousands of years. Long before the HISTORY hit series PAWN STARS, pawnbrokers helped people make ends meet by providing loans in exchange for personal items of value. There is no better example of today's pawnbrokers than the Harrison family's Gold and Silver Pawn shop on the outskirts of Las Vegas the modern day Mecca for people in need of quick cash. Three generations of Harrison men clash with friendly camaraderie over items from classic cars to samurai swords. Here, everything has a history, and everything has a price. And you never know what's going to walk through the door. In this collection, the boys haggle over a penny made by Paul Revere, battle plans for Iwo Jima, a 1939 Allied Forces World War II plane and a human shrunken head.

PAWN STARS VOLUME 3 includes sixteen fan-favorite episodes on two discs.

DISC 1: Trail Breaker / Top Secret / Whale of a Time / Gold Diggers / Aw Shucks! / Deals From Hell / Chumlee's Dummies / Strike, Spare, BOOM

DISC 2: Message in a Bottle / Rough Riders / Phoning It In / Moon Walking / Peeping Pawn / Ace in the Hole / Double Trouble / Getting A Head

Format:DVD
First things first. The third season of the popular History Channel program "Pawn Stars" is being listed here on Amazon as The Complete Season Three (as of 10/8/11). To clarify the contents of this 2 disc set, it is NOT the full season. It is being marketed as Volume Three not Season Three--just look at the DVD cover if you have any doubts. It is a bit misleading as both of the first two seasons were packaged and sold in their entirety, so if you bought one or both of them--you might be fooled into thinking this was similar. "Pawn Stars: Volume Three" consists of the first sixteen episodes of the year dubiously labeled as Fan Favorites (there were 28 episodes in the complete season). As a completist, this sales ploy is disheartening. If you want to release Season Three on DVD then release all of Season Three on DVD! Here are the titles included:

(1) Trail Breaker, (2) Top Secret, (3) Whale of a Time, (4) Gold Diggers, (5) Aw Shucks!, (6) Deals From Hell, (7) Chumlee's Dummies, (8) Strike, Spare, Boom, (9) Message in a Bottle, (10) Rough Riders, (11) Phoning It In, (12) Moon Walking, (13) Peeping Pawn, (14) Ace in the Hole, (15) Double Trouble, and (16) Getting A Head.

Now a little about the show in case there are any newbies. As the History Channel has evolved to include reality programs with only a tenuous link to actual history, its slate is filled with a number of reality shows (American Pickers, Top Shot, Larry the Cable Guy). "Pawn Stars" is the highest rated show in the network's history. Many of the items traded may or may not have historical significance (that is its link to the history format), and often times we'll be treated to some type of informative discourse. Set in a popular family pawn shop in Las Vegas, the three generations of the Harrison clan (as you might imagine) make daily deals with customers seeking a quick buck. As this is an instant cash business, sometimes they strike a great bargain for themselves and sometimes they back the wrong horse. I know some people can find the show exploitative as the Harrisons are actually trying to make money--buy low, sell high--but really isn't that just the nature of the retail arena? And there is an element of risk on their side. They are giving out cash without really knowing an item's true valuation or whether they can sell it.

The show is entertaining for several reasons. Of course, some intriguing merchandise passes through their hands and you just might learn something. But as in any reality show, this one is as much about interaction and conversation as it is about the art of the deal. The Harrison guys are a colorful crew--real old school Vegas. Perhaps the biggest scene stealer is Chumlee (like an adopted son) who plays village idiot, but can surprise you as well. It's comical and engaging for the most part. All in all, it is rather like the unsavory and confrontational cousin to the classic "Antiques Roadshow" with more grit and edge. If you're unsure, check out a sample episode. They air pretty consistently on the network and are available on-demand here if you want to sample one before investing in the DVD. KGHarris, 10/11.

1.0 out of 5 stars false advertising gives this item 1 star. October 18, 2011
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
After buying the first 2 FULL seasons on DVD I figured I could trust that this item was actually a full season. I would not have bought this half season had I known this was what was advertised.

I love the show it self, and couldn't wait to have my own copy of Season 3, but this is the "best" of season 3. This was advertised incorrectly.

Interesting content.
The sound track (music) is some of the most obnoxious on any reality TV show -- ever. It is enough to drive viewers I know away from the program.
