Are these fellows still in business?
I would appreciate it if we can know what has happened to the business that both Sheldon Smithens and Scott Cozens Co-owned. Is it owned by Jerry (Gerry) and/or Brooke now?
yes.. I enjoy Scott and Sheldon.. smart, knowledgeable and some good humor for sure.. yep I watch the show M – F twice each morning.. Wish they were still making shows..
I have just retired and as such have had more time to watch television, especially during this Lockdown world we see ourselves living in.
Stumbled upon Canadian Pickers and immediately fell in love with the show. I was surprised to learn that I was watching reruns from 2011-13. I can understand the time involved in making this show and as mentioned above I wish it had never ended. Suffice to say it’s been an educational and viewing treat. Might even go picking myself once this pandemic is somewhat under control.
I love these two guys I just wish they were still picking and doing more shows it’s a great show and very educational and these two guys are just a tonic I don’t know what they’re doing now but. Would love to see them do another show Bravo guys for wonderfully entertaining shows….
