It's all faked, well most of it. My parents owned a pawn shop in LA and the business isn't run like they portray it. 99% of the items you see are herdly likely to go into their shop, they pass them up the chain to areas that pay for good antiques and Objets d′art.

A lot of the shows listed here are Reality shows, like Pawn Stars. Documentaries attempt to tell you the truth or a version of it.

My favorite are the History ones, from the year dot to 20th Century, and Religious ones where they expose it all for the scam it is.
