Head back to school with the Pawn Stars when a Confederate children's schoolbook reports to the shop. Will Rick and Chumlee get an "A" in negotiating or be forced to drop out? Then Corey and Chumlee travel down memory lane when a set of original Cabbage Patch Kids pop in. Will they make a play for these classic dolls or will they refuse to toy around? And then, when Rick buys a Porsche, the guys are convinced he is going through a midlife crisis. Is Rick just acting his age or has he officially gone over the hill?
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.
