Take one giant leap for mankind with the Pawn Stars when Rick checks out a jetpack from the Gemini space program. Used to prove that jetpacks could work in zero gravity, will Rick's offer be out of this world? Then, Chumlee's nuts over a Snoopy comic book with a personal drawing from Charles Schulz. Will Chumlee be able to kick the proverbial football and make a deal? And later, Rick's take on a commercial for the pawn shop inspires Chumlee to make a version of his own. Whose commercial will reign supreme?.
Pawn Stars is filmed in Las Vegas, Nevada, where it chronicles the daily activities at the World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop, a 24-hour family business operated by patriarch Richard Harrison (or "The Old Man"), his son Rick Harrison (who opened the shop with his father in 1988), Rick's son Corey (who has worked there since childhood), and Corey's childhood friend, Austin "Chumlee" Russell.
The series depicts the staff's interactions with customers, who bring in a variety of artifacts to sell or pawn and who are shown haggling over the price and discussing its historical background, with narration provided by the Harrisons and occasionally Chumlee. The series also follows the interpersonal conflicts among the cast.
Numerous local experts in a variety of areas also regularly appear to appraise the items being sold or pawned.
