Railroad Alaska TV show

[ezdays]

You know, just about any of those "reality" shows have some sort of drama built in. Take, "Pawn Stars", one episode is about Rick's baldness, another about the Old Man getting a haircut, or Chumly and/or Cory getting in trouble for this or that. Yeah, they have interesting things come in the store, but I can do without the staged drama. They want you to think that Chumly doesn't have two nickles to rub together, but the real rality is that he drives around in a Bently with an entourage. Most everything else is designed to create interest and the drama. "American Pickers" can buy a ton of stuff, then make the next stop and the van is empty. Where does all that go? They have all sorts of trucks and equipment that you don't see. They are not alone, in one shot they panned around and I counted around a dozen people, cameramen, boom operators, lighting people, directors and producers. Hey, this is suppose to be a reality show, what the heck do you need a director or a producer for? :? They make the impression that they are hard pressed to keep the business running ("where are we going to get $20,000 to pay for this?"), but in fact each one is worth well over a million dollars, including the tattoo lady that minds the store.
