I'm between meetings and cranked up the TV. NRA's new show Guns and Gold is on. I've seen the hype and was interested, but not anymore. Don't get me wrong: Any show that puts guns in a positive light is a good show in my mind. However, this is nothing more than PBS's Antiques Roadshow. Damn I hate that show, so I bet you can figure out what I think of this one.

Thanks for the heads up. I like old guns but I don't care what they are worth. I like the history of how they were developed, used, etc.

I thought it was OK. They show some interesting guns on there.

As a recovering antique guy, I like antique roadshow,.... :-\
Is it on a podcast on the NRA site? or just on cable/sat.
-
I don't know about podcast. I saw it this afternoon - It was on when I started this.
Haz - The history is good, but the drama thing gets old. It isn't just the history of a gun. It is a lecture to the person that brought it in, and then the ... wait for it ... it's worth ... wait for it ... $X to #X :-\ Wow! I didn't think! Wow!

I've seen parts of two episodes, I think. It needs alot mroe production value to make the format interesting. The guy, I forget his name-the Curator for the museum is a little too bland for the role as appraiser/entertainer.
I like Antiques Roadshow better...
(I just wish "WGBH-Commie TV" didn't profit from it..)

I can't afford the Sportsmen's Channel. :)
