American Pickers: Volume 4



8 Episodes Of A Fascinating History Channel Original With Unforgivably Bad DVD Marketing
Explanation For Lower Rating:

I'm not sure what the History Channel is doing with their DVD releases this year, but it is certainly a step in the wrong direction. When they released "Pawn Stars: Volume Three," many people assumed that the show would be Season Three as the other two seasons of the program had been released in their entirety. It was, in fact, only sixteen episodes. When they released "American Pickers: Volume Two," it was the same thing. Season One had been released with all episodes, but this Volume Two was only eight episodes of Season Two. I know some people that preordered sight unseen, or just weren't paying attention, felt a little shortchanged by these smaller portions as opposed to what they had assumed were full season DVD releases. Personally, I didn't agree with the decision but, at least, the DVD packaging was very clear about what was included. Anyone who read the box knew what to expect: how many episodes and which ones, so it wasn't a blind...

Not season 4
Once again, don't be fooled. this is "volume 4" from season 2.
it is NOT season 4.
sure it says "volume" but if you're not familiar (which i wasn't) with that brand of marketing it's easy to not realize you're being tricked. If they wanted to be honest. they'd say "Volume 4 of Season 2" so clearly this is a bit of dis-honesty hoping to trick you into not being careful. Well done amazon. I became complacent and forgot, you don't trust anywone, not even someone you've bought from for years.

American Pickers
Two childhood friends travel across America searching for the old and the unusual. They take these items out of hiding and sell them in their store to other people who appreciate the history behind them. Their enthusiasm for the history behind the items and their excitement in finding them is infectious.
