Roll with the punches when the Pawn Stars check out a Superman vs. Muhammad Ali comic book. Will it be a knockout deal for Corey, or will he throw in the towel? Then, Rick finds himself in the grey when inspecting an Edward Hopper charcoal piece. Will the deal be black and white, or will he draw a blank? And later, Rick suspects that all the office phones are broken. Will the guys figure out why the phones are ringing off the hook, or will they just hang it up?
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.
