Another new season for Pawn Stars, just in time for summer. Today, it got up to 102 degrees in Las Vegas.
The Pawn Stars and the History Channel go on trial against a former manger with the manager suing everybody in the shop and the History Channel for breach of contract.
In the first episode, they introduce their new opening and theme song:
Seriously, is that the best they could come up with, especially the music? For the record, they are walking by Fremont st.
The story line is Rick's birthday and what they should give him.
The first guy brought in a Benjamin Air Pistol. It basically is a BB gun. The guy wanted $600 and Rick offered $75. The guy went down to $200 and Rick went up to $140 and there was no sale.
With Rick's birthday, they played a few pranks like breaking his chair and then they threw a surprise birthday. Rick's gift was a gift certificate for a guitar fantasy camp with Roger Daltry of the Who.

The next guy came in with wind up toys from the 1920's also some Disney Characters.
If you look closely, the Old Man has a new hairdo.
The guy wanted up to $5000. Time for an expert.
Johnny came as the expert and said the collection was very good and worth about $2500. The Old Man offered $1600 and the guy came back with $2100 and the Old Man offered $2000 and that was the selling price.
The next woman brought in 1800's tonsillectomy tools. The person bringing them is a repeat customer, Dr. Dahlia, who is also a radio talk show host: http://doctordaliah.com/
Dr. Dahlia gave a kind of gross explanation about the tonsils and their removal.
Dr. Dahlia wanted $1100 and Corey offered $500 and She came back with $1000 and Corey came back with $700 and the selling price was $800.
At the fantasy camp for fantasy singers, Rick was filmed singing "My Generation".... good thing he has a day job. They gave him some singing lessons. In the end, Rick played with a band, including Roger Daltry. In the end, Roger gave Rick an autographed guitar.
Based on what I have seen, it looks like Rick has gained weight and Chumlee lost weight.
In the 2nd episode, the first guy brought in a F-16 flight suit. Instead of the G-suit, which the pilots wore in the planes (pictured above, it was the walking around suit the pilots wore. FYI, the F-16 is what the USAF Thunderbirds used to fly, until they were grounded by Obama.
The guy wanted $500 and Rick offered $300. The problem was flight suits were used by civilians instead of military personnel and so it was worth less. Rick offered $325 and that was the sale price.
The next guy brought in a tape recording between the seller and John F. Kennedy. The man also had documentation to prove the tape was real. JFK wanted to know about the problems in 1963 Birmingham, AL. The guy wanted $100,000. Time for an expert, Mark from Clark County Museum. They went to Clark County Museum in Henderson, NV. Mark's beard has gotten a whole lot thicker and a more gray.
Mark, Rick and the seller all listened to the tape. Mark thought there were other tapes available.
For the first time, Mark actually talked about value of a product and he has never done that before. he always said it was between Rick(or whoever) and the seller.
Because of what Mark said, there was no sale as Rick didn't want to buy it.
The next guy brought in a old chemistry set from 1936. Included in the directions, it told how to make gun powder.
The kit had several different chemicals. The guy wanted $150 and Corey offered $45. $60 was the selling price.
The next guy brought in a sterling silver baby rattle fromt he 1800's. It had the Cat in the Fiddle and the Cow Jumped Over the Moon engraved n it and it came with a whistle and a smell bell. But Rick said it was fake and so no sale.
That ends the new episodes of Pawn Stars.
Thanks for stopping by and please stop by next week.
