Fan Reactions

Fans of the Upca and Pickers have been pleading for the return of fired Frank Fritz despite the show’s dwindling ratings, describing it as boring and staged. Before the latest episode, the American Picker Twitter account posted a picture where co-host Mike Wolf, 57, was seen talking to three other men, including his 55-year-old brother Robbie. A fake squid constructed by visual effects artists Chris and Jean Warren is positioned on a bench between them. According to the description, Mike and Robbie are sent back to their childhood nightmares, having used the robot squid in the 1996 horror/thriller film The Beast.

Mike, his younger brother Robbie, and 46-year-old Danielle Kby anchor the History Channel program. Frank, a 56-year-old former co-host, last appeared on the show in March 2020. Supporters quickly criticized the reality show and demanded the ousted host’s return.

In the comment section, one viewer stated, “I’d prefer to watch a rerun from 7 years ago, which is less staged and not like taking Ambien.” Another admirer commented, “Robbie is okay, but the show has become dull. It’s our loss not to watch.” Others echoed sentiments like “Not having #fFrankF back is your loss. We return when he does” and “Without Frank, it’s not the same.”

Declining Ratings

After fans promised to boycott the TV program over Frank’s termination, The Sun disclosed that the show’s ratings have been steadily declining. About 1.5 million people watched the most recent Season 23 debut, but that number has decreased since. The ratings for the next episode dropped to roughly 1,111,000 viewers. Episodes featuring Frank garnered better ratings; in March 2020, around 1.28 million viewers watched his last episode.

In an episode titled “Cole Gold” from September 2021, Mike was in Virginia talking to a retired circus ring leader who was selling memorabilia from his circus days. Mike recalled a 2013 incident where he and Frank met famed sideshow performer Ward Hall, as they searched through Ward’s possessions in old videos.

Frank’s Health Journey

After undergoing back surgery that left him with two rods in his spine and 185 stitches, Frank took time off to recuperate. He began leading a healthier lifestyle and lost approximately 65 pounds during his time off the show. Frank previously disclosed to The Sun that he spent roughly 77 days in rehab for his alcoholism.

Frank expressed a desire for a spin-off show after being fired from the History show.

Robbie’s Role

Robbie, the brother of American Pickers presenter Mike Wolf, has spent about $700,000 on real estate since taking Frank Fritz’s position. Although Robbie, 55, has appeared on American Pickers over the years, he officially took over as host at the beginning of Season 23.

Robbie has been making good use of his salary, spending $660,000 on real estate, including a $200,000 purchase for an 8,576 sq. ft. commercial property in Davenport, VA, and a $335,000 marital residence with his wife Melanie.

Conclusion

In conclusion, despite ongoing efforts to maintain viewer interest, American Pickers faces significant challenges. Fans continue to advocate for Frank’s return, and the decline in ratings indicates a need for reevaluation. As the landscape of reality TV shifts, it remains to be seen how the show will adapt.
