Pawn Stars break down

I analyzed the it television show pawn stars, and looked for all of the key goals of the show, based off of; staging factors, music, commercials, channel, and structure. The purpose of Pawn Stars is to inform, and entertain. The antics of chumlee, and the wacky items that enter the store provide for the comic relief. While the experts and negotiating aspects of the show focus on informing us. I can confidently say Pawn Stars is directed towards parents, and adults. The grandfather "pops" tends to swear like a sailor (he is an ex sailor), the music is a vintage rock rift, and the main content of the show, (the items and negotiating), would not interest any child, but instead applies very much to an adult. The commercial advertising is from Disney, Red cross relief efforts for japan, Degree anti-perspirant, and life insurance policy. These are all clearly aimed towards parents, and older people. It is filled with snarky commentary by the son, and is shown on the history channel. It is narrated by Rick, who is middle aged, has children, and is incredibly intelligent. Pawn Stars is best classified as an educational show. Pawn Stars follows a similar formula each episode; first, the primary items are presented, then the secondary items are presented then bought or not, then an expert returns and the primary items are evaluated, and assessed, then that trade is either made or broke, finally there are some snarky back and forth between cast members. The show is framed in a very serious manner. There are even educational sub texts during the show.
