The Worst American Pickers Episode From Season 2 According To IMDb
The popular "American Pickers" television show could be considered the physical manifestation of the phrase, "one man's trash is another man's treasure." Originally following the exploits of Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz, "American Pickers" is a long-running series that explores overlooked hordes and collections of antiques in search of valuable items for resell. It must be a lucrative business, because "American Pickers" is currently in Season 23, and has over 340 episodes (via History).
Season 2 of "American Pickers" sees several unique locations and finds, and features moments involving a 1950 Studebaker, a couple of run-ins with NASCAR driver Ryan Newman, a huge collection of vintage signs, a cement factory that contains a massive haul of old school items, a South Carolina warehouse that plays host to a Harley collection, and a 300-pound boot.
However, with the sweet always comes the sour. What episode of Season 2 could be considered the worst, according to IMDb?
Season 2, Episode 13 is the worst-rated episode on IMDb
IMDb, or the Internet Movie Database, is a wealth of information on popular forms of media. One of the facets of IMDb are individual scores for television episodes and movies, which are user-submitted and based on a scale from one to 10. As such, the worst episode from Season 2 of "American Pickers" is the 13th and final episode of the season, titled "Pint-Sized Picker," which is rated a 6.8 out of 10.
"Pint-Sized Picker" has a rather interesting deviation from most other episodes of "American Pickers," because one of the major characters is Mike Wolfe's young nephew, Rhesa Wolfe. There's some drama involved in the episode as well, because Danielle Colby isn't exactly keen on the fact that Mike's nephew gets to go on a pick instead of her. However, the enthusiasm Rhesa shows towards picking definitely establishes that the Wolfe family has an aptitude for it, and the neophyte picker dives right on in with all of the exuberance of youth.
"Pint-Sized Picker" also sees the crew of "American Pickers" peruse a hoarder's 10,000 square foot stash, and they also get the chance to search a late 19th century barn and home that was owned by an opera singer. Unfortunately, these events did not cause fans of the show to leap with joy like they found an old bicycle, because "Pint-Sized Picker" is the worst rated episode of the season on IMDb.
