History will be making a spin-off of its reality hit “Pawn Stars.” Ordinarily, I’d dismiss this outright, but the new show has a saving grace: it’s called “Rusty Nuts.”
The network has made a deal with Leftfield Pictures for “Rusty Nuts,” in which restoration expert Rick Dale brings trashed treasures back to life.
Dale owns Las Vegas-based Rick’s Restorations and is the go-to guy for the “Pawn Stars” team whenever the shop has an antique that needs improvement (such as a Coke machine, barber chair or 1937 gas pump).
Each episode of “Nuts” follows Dale, his staff and teenage son as they restore objects to their original, mint condition. [The Live Feed]
Can he restore History so it looks like the original History Channel? I miss all the Hitler programming. Those were the good old days. When History had Hitler programming, I mean. Not when Hitler killed six million Jews. Totally not cool, Hitler.

Is there a profession without a reality show behind it? Lets get a camera crew into my office as I assign almost arbitrary values to the assets of one company no one cares about buying another company no one cares about. Not good enough for your precious history channel? Fine- but once I’m done with the report I dick around on the internet for about an hour. Still no? fuck you then.
I swear I was going to make a Rusty Kuntz reference when I read that headline.
“Hitler killed a few Jews. Too many, I’ll say it, he killed too many Jews. An excessive amount. No moderation at all. Ray Charles? Hardly any Jews. He killed so few Jews!”
(Go watch the new Louis C.K. special now now NOW!)
Not when Hitler killed six million Jews. Totally not cool, Hitler.
I know. He left way too many alive.
Yeah, I’m going to have to go ahead and let you tell me if this will involve car restoration, because there’s no way I’m clicking on any of those links.
Pretty sure their (pawnstars) car stuff is done elsewhere. I think this guy does more antique restoration, but I know he’s done a mini-bike.
Cliff notes: not enough pr0n.
Everything we know about Hitler comes from “jewish” publishing companies. They’ve grossly exaggerated the numbers. The plaque at Auschwitz used to read four million, now it says six million. Where’d they find the two million bodies, and why wasn’t it on the front page of every newspaper in the world?
