What channel is American Pickers on and how can I watch?

AMERICAN Pickers has been airing for 22 seasons and has amassed a large following of fellow antique lovers through the years.

The popular show reached 5.7million viewers in 2016 and remains one of the most watched reality TV shows since its inception in 2010.

What channel is American Pickers on and how can I watch?

American Pickers airs Mondays at 9pm on the History Channel.

The show’s plot centers around Mike Wolfe, Frank Fritz, and Danielle Colby traveling around the US in search of rare artifacts and special treasures they can purchase from collectors and resell in their antiques shops.

In addition to the people Wolfe and Fritz meet on the road, some episodes feature celebrities or items that once belonged to them.

Fans were thrilled when Aerosmith appeared in the series back in 2019 as Wolfe and Fritz were returning the band’s old tour van after spotting it during their vintage shopping. 

A Twitter user wrote: “The best American Pickers “pick” by far. @IamStevenT @Aerosmith.”

Another added: “Loved it! Great job on this pick of a lifetime.Loved the stories as well! My favorite band! Wish I could have seen them in Vegas! American pickers you guys and gal are great! We watch all the time. A piece of rock history! Priceless.”

A fan chimed in saying: “Tonight’s episode of American Pickers with Aerosmith was some great television.”

Where is Frank on American Pickers?

The new season so far only features Wolfe and Colby, as Fritz has taken a leave of absence from filming. 

He revealed on social media in 2013 that he was battling Crohn’s disease.

The reality star had taken a break during seasons 8 and 9 and took to Facebook to explain his absence, writing: “A lot of you have been wondering about my health and my weight loss.

“I have an illness called Crohn’s [disease], which at times is difficult to deal with. I started losing weight and ran with it!

Adding: “I have been exercising and eating good… Thanks for all of your kind words of concern! I couldn’t do what I do without all of you!”

During the coronavirus lockdown restrictions, it was believed that Frank was quarantining in LeClaire, Iowa and tending to the other Antique Archaeology store.

Frank’s partner in the series, Mike Wolfe, revealed that Frank was getting back surgery, though it is unclear for what.

He has yet to appear in the show’s new season.

Where is the American Pickers store?

American Pickers’ store Antique Archaeology is opened in two locations. The flagship shop is located in LeClaire, Iowa, and has been open since 2000.

LeClaire, which sits on the Mississippi river, is home to fewer than 4,000 residents. It is best known as the birthplace of Buffalo Bill.

The store, which was once a fabrication shop, is located close to Bettendorf, Iowa, where Wolfe was raised.

Opened in 2011, the second store resides in Nashville, Tennessee, where Wolfe currently calls home. It was once a Marathon Motor Works car factory from the late 1800s.

Both spaces are designed to be half-shop, half-museum, and are filled to the brim with antiques, collectibles, and unique home decor.

Wolfe travels more than 70,000 miles a year across the United States hand-picking items for Antique Archaeology.
