So much average
Humaira Grant
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

I liked Canadian Pickers when it first started. It was a nice change from the faux drama and aggressiveness of the American Pickers. The hosts were easy going and didn't try to pressure sellers into selling them their stuff for next to nothing.Then it got stupid. Like American Pickers, they eventually added a cast of supporting characters who added nothing to the show. They also added faux drama and the Pickers started to act like jerks - aka the American Pickers. I started watching the series again recently because they've been showing re-runs. There's still good info to be had for people who are interested in antiques, but I can't say I'm sorry the show was cancelled. In the later episodes, it had become just an annoying as American Pickers.

I can't remember ever giving a film, TV show or any other programme of any genre the full mark before and I do so with this show simply because to me at least it achieves everything. Now I know there are going to be detractors who read this who say or think 'how can anyone give 10/10 to such a simplistic piece of reality TV?' Well, if in the reviewers eyes THAT particular show is informative,is amusing,is interesting,has beautiful scenery throughout with people bartering their wares all the way and the two main protagonists so knowledgeable in their field what more can you want? And in MY eyes THIS programme DOES have ALL THAT and more.My only complaints or disappointments was when I found that the series had been cancelled and that, so far at least I have been unable to find it on DVD to purchase.If anyone knows different please add some note as to where it can be found and bought.

I love this show, it is awesome! The guys are very likable and they find a lot of cool treasures. I think it is much better than the boring American Pickers, much more entertaining. I also enjoyed the new episode where they journeyed to the UK, it was a nice little change and they found some real cool stuff. I never was really big on reality TV but with shows like Canadian Pickers I can really get into it. I think the finding of old antique and unique items is what really interests me as I would love to do something like this, search old places for hidden gems. It's almost like a mystery cause you never know what you are going to find, it would be very exciting! I hope they continue with this show for quite a while!8/10

I am a fan of the American Pickers, and watched it quite a bit when it came out. I myself being a collector of books, thought seeing what other people take to collecting as extremely entertaining, and the hosts were quite entertaining as well. Some of the collections they pick, which some would think was just a junk heap, can contain some really old, and incredibly amazing stuff. On a whole, very interesting.Then I heard that they were making a version for good ole' Canada, and truthfully I wasn't sure what to think. I, living in BC, have seen numerous houses packed to the brim with old an interesting objects, that I was sure the pickers would love to visit, but the idea of it just seemed like it was going to be a useless rehash, so I didn't pay attention. It wasn't until probably around January of 2012 when I saw an episode of it, and I must say I was impressed. Scott and Sheldon are competent hosts that are classic Albertans, and a joy to watch. And the picks are also surprisingly good; a show I'd definitely recommend if you were a fan of the American series.
