American Pickers
Created by Mike Wolfe
On History
A long-running, affable documentary series about two men finding value and stories in forgotten American objects, structured around discovery and restoration rather than conflict.
Pickers like Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz are on a mission to recycle America, even if it means diving into countless piles of grimy junk or getting chased off a gun-wielding homeowner’s land. Hitting back roads from coast to coast, the two men earn a living by restoring forgotten relics to their former glory, transforming one person’s trash into another’s treasure.
