    Hear we go with another tv show on scrap, like we need more competition. I hope they don't do one on e-waste. Well maybe that would be good because i'm the only one buying e-waste in my area that i know of anyway.

    I havn't seen the show, but i'm pretty sure thats one of those things that people who already frown upon scrappers are going to watch and just confirm what they THINK they already know about us...

    actually, this show seemed to have the most reasonable and honest portrayal of scrapping ive seen on television. honest people doing honest work.

    they were honest about the fact that yard patrons come from all walks of life with all different motives, but they didnt over do it.

    I agree with Filthy that it was fairly accurate. I was not offended nor insulted. I don't know I would like to spend Thanksgiving with this family but then don't want to with some of my relatives either. Mike.
