Pawn Star Spin Off?

From The Kats Report, from the Las Vegas Sun: It was not a matter of if, but whom.
And the "whom" is a man who lords over gleaming, vintage Coke machines.
We're speaking of the first spin-off from "Pawn Stars," the four-headed monster of a reality show that's created a torrent of publicity for the once nondescript pawn shop on Las Vegas Boulevard, just a skateboard sashay north of Charleston Boulevard....But the man who has leapt from cameos to a full-fledged series of his own is Rick Dale of Rick's Restorations Inc. No weather-beaten gas pump or moribund jukebox is too battered to be restored by Dale, who says he has been "restoring memories for over 28 years!"...That contract was signed Friday, and a crew from Leftfield Productions (the company that also produces "Pawn Stars") is in town for three weeks of filming.

Hmm, on the one hand, I am glad for Mr. Dale. He works hard at his shop, which is by the north 215 and Jones, but will the show be viewed?
As far as I know, Dale is the only employee at his shop but I may be wrong- they never show any other employee. Pawn Stars works because of the working relationship between the four main characters- Old Man, Rick, Corey and Chumlee. All four characters with distinct characteristics. The pawned items are secondary. Who does Dale work with?
And refurbishing old things seems more like a show on PBS as opposed to the History Channel.
Will the show work? I hope so as I enjoy seeing local boys do good. Do I think it will work? I am more pessimistic unless there are more employees and some good plots.
