Holy Christ, it's Win Rick Harrison's Crap.

As someone who has no interest in reality TV, I can honestly say that I would totally watch Win Rick Harrison's Crap.

I got sick of the overly-scripted schtick awhile ago, but I'll admit the title Pawnography made me chuckle a bit.

Bumping this up with the news that the show premieres July 10 on History, and actor/comedian Christopher Titus is the host.

Looking at that set, I'm expecting Ben Stein to walk out at any second.

Set looks kinda cool...I'm actually surprised to see a show using eggcrates, although I'm guessing it's an LED tote, not unlike the directional signs you might see on the interstate.

Corey and Chumlee have really slimmed down...

To my eye those look like true eggcrates.  Judge for yourselves.

To my eye those look like true eggcrates.  Judge for yourselves.

If you look closely, each display looks like five separate units with grids of bulbs, so they probably are eggcrates.

I like the melding of the wood desks with the background of a garage. It looks like a game show without resorting to mood lighting.

Not that you can tell from the pictures, but Brandon might have been referring to the change over from incandescent light bulbs into LEDs that had the same look, but newer technology behind it. Debt and It Takes Two (with Dick Clark) are cited on the Display Field Guide as two such shows that did this.

I now need to find a sink and wash off the minutiae.

Correct. More like LED totes...I was referring to something like this.
