Don't know if you've still got cable / satellite after "the great recession", but if you do then you might want to keep an eye on the History Channel for a new series called American Pickers (Mondays at 9 / 8 central). The show premiered only a couple of weeks ago, but when you see some of the barn finds they dig up you're likely to become a fan. You should check out the video where Mike and Frank uncover a rare Ape Calessino and not the 2007 reintroduction version (which, in America, is equally rare).

Thanks to Vaughn for the scoop! I don't have cable, so it's easy to scoop me on TV related things ;)
