American Pickers: The Frank Fitz Moment That Went Too Far

- "American Pickers" benefited from its stars' unique interpersonal dynamic for more than a decade, but the era of Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz teaming up to pick through attics, barns, and garages in search of treasure is over. Fritz left the show in July 2021, and the two reality TV stars have since shared a series of public statements about one another, revealing what appears to have been a considerable tension underscoring their former working relationship. That said, there was one revealing moment from an old Frank episode that may have crossed the line. This is the Frank Fritz moment that went too far on "American Pickers."

What were your thoughts on this?
I don't think so wouldn't be nice 🤫LLL
I don't think I've watched a single episode since it was announced that Frank was permanently gone. Frank > Mike.
I won't watch the show anymore. Frank was the "bearded charmer" easy going guy! Shame
@@leemiller7165negatory I won't either LLL😫 sometimes people get too big for their britches and they still try to put them on! 🤫🦇💩 Crazy!
It seems maybe correct I detect some petty attitude from Fritz fueled by a distorted perception fueled by alcoholism and the inability to manage his ego
I do feel like Mike Wolfe was trying to push Frank out to bring in his brother Robbie so therefore I think Mike Wolfe stabbed Frank Fritz in the back. The Wonder Frank had to have back surgery. I really don't care too much for the show anymore without Frank
Agree
Yes James your probably right Mr Wolfe needed a excuses boot out fritz
O. The show they were good friends what happened Mr Wolfe your head got to big Mr cool thats dirty Wolfs ignorant
You can Cleary see where Wolfe integrity is at ....money does it every time Wolfe greedy take money over a friend ship NOT ME
The way see it Wolfe spit in his face that's OK fritz move on shake the looser
Loose
You see franks face it looks like some one just shot him way down
will miss you frank. lol loved the episode with the clocks where he just stood there entranced by the sound of the chimes
It was subtle but Mikes demeanor toward Frank was often backhanded and condescending. It seemed to me he thought very little of him and like he was just in the way. That always bothered me.
Like Abbott & Costello
I agree, Mike made most of the deals and seemed to run things.
Yes like always commenting on his weight or his beard or his women relationships among other personal attributes to make fun of.
Like Abbott & Costello, in real life, the team was not happy with each other although they performed for years and even made a bunch of movies
You so right. Shame on that Punk!
Greed has broken so many friendships up, from the famous to the non-famous. If what this video is reporting is true then MIKE needs to take the first step and fix the friendships with Frank. Or Mike was never Frank's friend to begin with. The show without Frank is ho-hum don't watch anymore. 🙏 for them both not the show.
I think they were friends since high school. But money has a way of destroying friendships. Frank is a more down to earth guy you would want to hang out with, but Mike comes across as really arrogant since he got rich. I hope Frank gets his own show. And I hope Mike's show gets cancelled!
It’s nice to see everyone loves the show so much! ( I’m the original show runner and developed the show). Frank is a wonderful guy. We didn’t ever script American Pickers.
What's a show Runner anyway?
I dont like people who are nice in the beginning and after they get all this money suddenly they change thinking they are so important now
On American pickers the show was very popular frank is the cool one he should now just move on and keep his pride he don't people like that in his life. He's the etter man..
Get Frank back
Hey Stephen this is Rick.i have a grate idea since my Wolfe is the Culperet here.and thinks hes Mr macho how about we give Mr Wolfe the 👞. He realy needs to be knocked off his high horse 🐎 once he's gone the tables will turn.
Git rid of wolfe he's a ego maniac frank will team up with.a new partner .and wolfe can beat it
Always liked Frank the most. Met a woman who they went to her house to pick thru some very nice car parts. During the filming, she ran Mike off. Said he doesn't dig thru attics like is shown on TV. Crew does and he gets a few photo ops. She was a spitfire and told Mike off. Said Frank was wonderful and hugged her when they left.
Frank was the best character and the most genuine.
Absolutely
Frank Fritz deserves his own show!
Frank is great
Yes Timothy he has his own show it's called Timothy the dork show hows that funny boy
Mike needs fritx not brother mike and frank do things together and seem to get ong and understand each other. Not brother
Frank should reconsider his radio idea. On the fritz. I would listen. I love this idea. Great job for him.
I was a big fan of American Pickers. I have tried to watch with Robbie, but it's just not the same without Frank. The last episodes with Frank, Mike actually said Frank stank because of bad hygiene. Frank took it in stride, but still, international TV is NOT the place to discuss matters like that. We miss you Frank, and Mike, you should be ashamed of yourself. Arrogant much?
Talking about a teammates stank on air isn't acceptable for sure and why on earth wasn't that edited out of the video that was TERRIBLE production management that person should have been fired because they failed at a large obvious mistake. That's what editing is for come on people. Pretty sad to think that could have been a direct turning point causing an unforgettable rift. That was unbelievable that it happened and that it was left in the final cut.
I like frank . He was fat to do this show . Mike was like a monkey able to fetch things frank couldn 't right now.
We miss you Frank the show is doesn't have the same feel without the other half of the show, dude has brains 😁
The show is scripted. Mike didn't just say Frank smells, it was written into the show. If you think them 2 really drive that van all over the country together, I have a bridge to sell you.
@@brucehallett1989
Frank does look like the type of guy that would s**t on himself deliberately to stink up the van just to get under Mike's skin & send gas into Mike's lungs.
American Pickers will always lack without Frank IMO. Wish there was a way to bring him back on. I understand there is much 'behind the scenes', but I think Mike and Frank were a winning team.
10 years WTF? you toss the guy under the bus after giving his cat a funeral? Who does this?
@@robertreynolds1606 what?
Now his annoying brother and Daniel?? Please…..
@@40lookinggood Each his own, brother.
@@40lookinggood are as phony as a 3 dollar bill, that stupid laugh of hers and that goofy high pitch voice of his brother, WTF?
Mike’s marriage ended and his friendship with Frank is now non-existent….both happened simultaneously….it doesn’t take a genius to figure out who is the problem.
Yeah, the alcoholic one
Mike is the problem. Cheating on the wife and screwing his friend over his brother.
His EX seems to think Mike likes boys more than girls but won't admit it, he talks a great game but must be a zero i the bedroom, IJS Mike needs to come out of the closet, it is 2022
@@robertreynolds1606 He sure act like the type who loves two in the mouth and one down south and Frank shits himself compulsively, you'd think with those commonalities they'd be able to sort things out amicably lol
Your father's ass!.
Frank should start his own show " pickin with fritz "
+1
Great idea
I think they should give Frank a show, that is a great title, and show them competing with each other. It would be a ratings bonanza. Fritz Picking would work too. "On the Fritz'...he is far more likeable than Mike, heck, Mike is NOT LIKEABLE AT ALL. His voice is irritating.
It wouldn't LAST a season, Mike was boring and not very classy at all.
'Fritz's Shitz's' would be more accurate with his pants crapping problem
Free Frank Schlitz! 💙 ❤️ we love U Frank!
If I'm with someone, and someone else calls me that is known for long conversations, I don't answer the phone. I don't like it when someone does it to me, so I don't do it to others.
Bingo when your with company or friends you start off the phone.perod it's called edacate
I heard that!!!!😱🐾 Got to go catch Russian 🐻
Classy...👍
I know alot would disagree, but I always found Frank to be more like a pawn broker. Mike always wanted to spotlight the history of the piece and hear the story behind it. His appreciation was for the story and history of what he was picking. He did want to make money, but he is so passionate about what he finds. Frank always seemed only interested in what profit the piece could bring him. He hardly ever spoke about what an amazing story something might have or how amazing it was to hear the history of the piece, he only spoke about getting it as cheap as possible and at least doubling his money.
100% nailed it.
Frank always about how much he can screw someone over. Doesn't care about the history of anything or if it has a cool story about it.
@@royyoung1896 Frank shits himself all the time too, that would've put a strain on those long road trips and a stain on the passenger seat.
Posted over a month ago and the video has only 676 likes. People have stopped caring about these people and this show... it's gone on too long.
This show had a charm showing friends and family grow together and become successful, feels empty now.
Mike Wolfe ORIGINATED the show. Fritz, a high school friend, clung to his coattails. Jersey John is a huge improvement because, unlike Frank, he knows what he's talking about.
Even though the shows dying without frank
I used to be Mike fan now can't see him in same light anymore. You can't betray a friend like that that's been like family to you ain't right or okay.
And betrayed his wife and family too.. Mike is a complete scumbag who's B level fame has gone to his ugly head..
Finger my Larry?
I mean you don't really have any context to make that assumption. We don't know what they are like in person and we are only hearing one side of the story.
Exactly as some one else said you don't know what's gone in behind the curtain you can't judge either.
@@Brough1111 finger my laray?
Mike and Frank made the show I love it. But mike was always a spotlight seeker. It’s frustrating I’ve never missed an episode but it seems like mike wanted frank out. Frank has a stomach disease and had back surgery. Look into it. Covid and back issues forced or pushed history to write him out.
Extremely sad to see Frank gone. You are one of a kind Frank in a very good way. We all have some hurdles to over come. I won't speak ill of Mike but it's easy to see some things about him that are not exactly at or where they should be. I am going to screenshot this comment immediately upon posting it because I have the name for Frank's new hit show where he's the boss. It's Copyright 2022 ©Fritz-Pickin's! ©
Comment if you'd like. Love ya Frank!
Why it's so sad when the history channel & their producer's got a drunk drug abuser off the street & positively saved lives.
frank is a loser and will always be a loser, until he kicks the bad habits, or he'll be dead. Then he'll be a dead loser, come on frank, kick the bad habits, and show them what you're truly made of. Would like to be able, to spell your name, with a capital F, instead of a f.
wtf are you yammering about???
Like the show, they’re both cool and they both make the show
long time watcher of the show. Human nature just gets in the way ,could be why there are so many devorses among people who really do stillcare for each other.
I stand with Frank, hes got style!
The show SUCKS without frank.. I no longer watch it.. And won't unless frank comes back..
Robbie sucks
Well Jack if I was
frank aND they offered me the show back would give them.the finger real quick
Franks the nice guy
Wolfes 'the dirty prick
From what I've gathered, Frank's dependency on alcohol was a big issue while filming. The History Channel is who fired him not Mike Wolfe, although Mike could have been involved in one way or the other. I love them both
Frank never appeared intoxicated or stoned but was a contradiction to mike who was his opposite. That is what was cool about the show, his Bro is his clone, not good. Lacks enthusiasm & realism, BTW why offer more money than the seller is asking? These picks are agreed upon before the show arrives (FACT) on the scene, and looks contrived; not real. There is even a disclaimer when they arrive that the final offer may not be the final offer, we don't know, so stop the phoniness guys
He also shits himself all the time, that's gotta have put a strain on a friendship that spent so much time on the road and a stain on the passenger seat.
I always preferred a “what the fug you want for this item” approach. The groveling and hem-hawing over a dollar figure eats up way too much time.
I do not and won't watch anymore, when they dumped Frank they lost me as a viewer. I hope Frank gets his own show and surpasses these other goofballs and that Creep Mike Wolfe.
I am shocked and saddened to hear poor Frankie is ill and got booted off the show!
I loved this show, even though I could see Mike throw his weight around, make jokes at Frankie's expense, etc etc etc, but even though you could clearly see Mike pushing ahead of Frankie to find stuff before Frankie got a chance, I thought their friendship since school would never be broken.
Frankie and Mike's friendship and personalities was what made the show work.
Even when Mike got petulent and nasty, when he didn't 'win' I thought Frankie was putting up with this crap because they are true loving friends, so it wasn't totally annoying.
I think, Frankie, if you ever read this, you may not realize how many fans you have.
I think, once you are better, (hopefully), you should get your own show, not picking, interviewing interesting folks, touring America and Canada on your bikes.
Going to bike shows and introducing us to the weird and wonderful and the bikes and cars in the shows.
It would be a winner!
Lastly, lots has been said, suggested etc, about your health, I hope you recover from your physical problems soon, and, if drinking hard became an anaesthetic for pain, physically, mentally and spiritually, then I highly recommend that you reach out to AA
I had my first sober day on August 6th 1993, and just one day at a time, I'm still going.
Forgive me for suggesting AA, for I do not know you personally, but from what I see of you on tv, you come across as genuine and loving.
I can see your show now, proud and sober, and introducing the world to the America we love, eccentric, inventive, bizarre and fascinating.
Showing us the 'who, where, when, how' of America's inventions would be perfect.
So, there you go, another tv show idea!
Good luck Frankie, I will miss seeing and hearing you, (won't watch Am Piks anymore, won't be the same without you) but look forward to seeing new shows hosted by you!
Good on ya mate!
You have lots of loving fans 'Down Under'!
regards,
jay
Network really messed this show up! Frank is not replaceable. Without Frank, show doesn’t work.
I liked Frank. Best wishes Frank.
Spending all that time together I’m sure you’d get annoyed at each other. Sadly it destroyed their friendship. Hopefully they can put it behind them. I do feel theirs enough room for Frank to have his own show instead of everything going Mikes way and bringing his Bro in while Franks on the outside looking in. That’s only going to create more tension
As long as we don’t have to see Dani trying to negotiate. Every price they throw at her, she says “ok, that seems fair”.
Frank Fritz has suffered a stroke and is in the hospital. I sincerely hope he will get well.
yeah we know that , no need to post it on almost every video 🙄
@@yeezuscrust9630 I will post it wherever the hell I feel like. It was posted on 3 videos. No one commented on it on any of the videos I looked at. So I was the first to comment on it. I hope to aggravate you some more with my future posts.
It's actually funny now 🤣
I am 80 years old and these people have been around for years and years I remember them even when I was a kid but they don’t call them pickers they are junk dealers and they buy anything and live right in the middle of it they have one great big junk pile they change the name of it so it would have some soft language and sound better
I watched an episode where he tried to low-ball someone...
We all do
Frank & Mark 🌹 Greetings From Finland 🐾🤔
I liked Frank. I'm sorry that he's no longer with the show. It won't be the same without him. And Frank, you were OUR favorite : )
Bonsoir j aiment cette émission je vous suis tt les jours très super bravo et bonne continuation à vous tous .France Avignon
Frank was the heart and soul of the show and why most people watch it in the first place an mike just cant stand that
I liked the show with AL Plum in.Rodchester NY ! Now that man has Real integrity and is a real business man .I know personally and spent a lot of time building other people with him.His true nature was to give back to his community like he did in that show with the fire station.
Frank was a jerk. People who were selling their stuff didn't like to work with him. He was so mean, he degraded people.
I finally watched a season 20 episode. In it fritz refers to the non silent rides and you could tell the working relationship had declined. I was lookin for it!
Just "back surgery"? Right... Frank admitted to checking into rehab in '20 and wasn't sober until '21. It's obvious his addiction was the main issue and had probably been a nuisance for some time until it reached a head. Frank isn't doing himself any favors by refusing to take responsibility and instead trying to play the victim and turn fans against Mike.
@JAg
You are one of the closest to what is franks real problem...I did month's of research on what really happened & why frank was terminated.
I just left a comment above about what...where & why frank is where he is today.
It's all there & can be found on public court records etc.
Glad he's off the show, he was not a favorite of ours, he was all about himself.
There are many rumors which point to both people being the problem, but i think they reach a point of no return now. I love the early pickers season, especially that episode where they search for nascar historical stuffs.
Mike wanted his brother on the show so was pushing Frank out for some time , pretty slime ball 💩 but you can tell Mike's the kind of guy you don't trust.
Maybe Frank shouldn't drive drunk going down the wrong way on a highway. Just a thought. Not good for business.
Don’t watch the show since frank left. Not the same feeling to it.
I don't mind that's he's gone I never liked frank to start with.
I think Mike is an ass hat. We love you Frank Fritz. You were the star of the show.
Frank is King...😃🇭🇲
Mike is a pretty genuine guy and I always had this weird feeling about Frank which I do believe is why this situation came about.Frank has a chip on his shoulder simply because Mike is very knowledgeable and he’s more of a leader rather than a follower unlike Frank. His personality was more like, yes just getting the stuff on the cheap and I’m not gonna pay top dollar whether I’m taking the customer for a ride or not..Mike’s brother is genuine also and he definitely adds more character
Sad to see Frank f go!! He was great on show sadly miss!!!
he was the guy you loved to dislike, made the pick interesting, cheap and a used car salesman if there ever was one.
Mike always considered himself as Batman, and Frank was his sidekick Robin.
I bet Frank didn't mind any of the profit he may have made through Mike's long phone callery.
Bring Frank back!
What a stupid thing to get passed about……communicating in a business is critical! Frank complained way too much! Better off with him off show!
The viewers make or break a show and the viewers want Frank. The show is doomed to failure because it will no longer get the ratings it used to.
I'm a viewer, and don't think the show *needs* Frank. Both Frank and Mike were mean to each other, and one had to go. If Mike had to go, many people would call Frank the bully. The show was much more than the two guys. It's mostly about American history - would you rather watch shows like Ancient Aliens? I'm sure the Entertainment Industry would like that, but I say no thanks.
I get the feeling its Mikes way or the highway and he seems condescending and rude towards Franky but rarely does someone start their own highly successful business and tv show without having some arrogance, intensity and self serving adjendas. I Still like him but im sure it would be intense working with him.
Frank and Mike are both cool. Its a big shame.
Mike pulled a power move since he helped create the show...... I think Mike was lusting for Danielle imo.
Sorry but I don't miss frank at all. And if you watch back thru all the shows you can see that a lot of the people being picked didn't like frank to much.
Talking on the phone in front of other people is RUDE.
THANK YOU
@@yourmommashouse 👍
Frank was awesome and I'm watching it on tv right now it's the 32 ford roadster one
A negative component of a great show. About time.
Frank’s Cat died & he went on a Bender , so instead of helping him Mike saw it as opportunity to go solo on Pickers .. doesn’t sound like a good mate to me.
omg! How did you find out Frankie's cat died? No wonder he went on a bender, he adored his big fat cat, I remember a show when he had to leave because his cat was sick, Mike seemed ok about it, but maybe he began plotting to get rid of Frank then. The show has lost its soul without Frank, all is left is Mike's over inflated egomania, only bearable when he had "little frankie" with him.
Fuck cats. Get a dog
I could sense the friction between the two just watching a few episodes.
Very sad to hear and see this unfold they were a great team great viewing for our entertainment
Kind of felt it.. Nice show. I feel he was always part of the show but that stuff cost money and you need to spend to make these days take the gamble.
Never liked Frank anyways always low balling. Even to old people that have no clue what they have.
Yes!
There were several shows where Mike bullies Frank. I don't watch any longer
Frank's gone now they can shuv the show now with out frank the shows stupid
I miss Frank and I won’t watch it without him not the same
It's like when Charlie sheen left two and a half men you can replace them but it'll never work
Mike isn't all that great ! Frank made the show.
Mike always seemed like he thought he was better than Frank and you could tell.
I tend to agree if you're around someone for a long period of time you tend to need a little space I would like to have thought that they would take a little time away from each other so they can appreciate each other's friendship I will miss Frank
Watch the first 3 seasons of AM Pic, (2010) The humble sincere Mike, then watch the last 3 seasons, of Am Pic. (2020-22) when Fritz left the show. Watch Mike Wolf's attitude and phoniness of the sincere Mike & the humility, in the beginning, the humble Mike vs the sometimes insincere arrogant Mike lately. He has lost interest in the pics and goes to give his bro a shot at picking and fame, but it's not even close to Frank & Mike who were complete opposites, completely different people, and that is what was so cool about the show. Mike doesn't get it or he does and doesn't care, I think the later
Yeah, you're right! Sometimes opposites that are friends, that have a blowout, and have to work together, have to put on that Ozzie & Harriet attitude for the camera(Hollywood limelight attitude). I think Mike's trying hard not to lose a good thing, kinda like the way Rick from American Restoration lost his show. The history Channel are heartless business corporate sociopaths, and can put a number one show out to dry without even having any kind pity emotion for whom they're destroying. Mike's probly trying really hard to use everyone of his tricks, and Motivation Tape lesson's to apply to the Human Resources Dept, for the sake of his television career.
@@paulceniceros5514 he's got alimony & child support too... besides his EX owns the TN Store now
That's what I noticed too.
I met Mike and Frank in Beaver Dam Ky in 2019. Mike was very outgoing and friendly. Frank on the other hand was ready to rush, unlike Mike. I did take a photo with them and 5 other photos of their first van with the big lips sticker on it.
You'd be in a rush to, if you were about ready to crap yourself, again the booze.
That's always the impression that I got Franks always in a hurry he suffered from the delusion that he had somewhere important to go, he never knew where it was.
I've heard F.F.can be difficult.
Sad he had the health issues.
Hope he's doing good.
Will Smith moment that went to far against Chris Rock
And people defend cris rock for that insult. Double standard
Happy you changed the subject
Show business isn't for everyone. It's funny how friends can turn against one another. you were the star of the show Frank and we miss you already. Danielle got divorced from someone who loved her but could not put up with the billboard of tattoos and her sanctimonious attitude. God bless you Frank we miss you.
Frank should have his own show
Show now sucks. Can’t watch it anymore
Yeah Greg I heard that!!LLL
Frank was dead weight, He stood there while Mike did all the work. He was a crybaby. Dump Danni too she's such a 'look at me, look at me' person
On quite a few shows you could see Frank clearly trying to get something valuable for next to nothing and you could also tell in some episodes the persons whose house they were picking kind of reralise Frank was trying to mug them off, Mike stepped in quite a few times to regain the person trust and also tell Frank its clearly worth more and Frank would then sort of say - oh yeh I hadnt noticed the signature on the bottom - or - yes true Mike I hadnt realised actually how good condition it was now its in the light - so yeh Frank was very dodgy on some shows, and in the much latter shows Frank almost had bust-ups with people they were picking.
I used to watch American Pickers but when Frank left the show I haven’t watched it since, Frank was the show.
The truth behind the scenes was Frank was always egotistical and thought he was more of the show then Mike was. Frank's drinking and drug consumption was taking its toll of the show and hiding his DUI,'s was becoming harder to cover. That, and the fact that Frank's attempt to go off on his own and open a shop in Galena , Illinois was pretty much the straw that broke the camel's back. Mike's store in LeClaire , Ia. is what started all of the game and fortune and Frank rode it for all he could get out of it until he was arrested for riding his motorcycle down the highway in the wrong direction during one of his stupors. The QC Times newspaper and the local news stations jumped all over the story and was risking the reputation of the show. Frank is always been known to solicit his unwanted opinions and butting into things that doesn't concern him. Mike put up with a lot of things he didn't need to for years with Frank, all while Mike was including him in his business and fame and fortunes.
It was clear on the show in every single episode, it was Mike Wolfe who was ALWAYS condescending toward, Frank. You must be a shill for Wolfe who CLEARLY wanted his brother in the show, and they are not watchable. Yes, Frank had issues and has worked hard at them, probably feels much better not having to live with Wolfe's constant needling and upstaging. That would throw anyone's back out, and could drive them to drink. Wolfe is RUDE, if he is on the phone all the time, that means Frank has to be quiet, for the entire duration, it is RUDE AND SELFISH.
@@GloriaSangreal It's Mike's business, period. He built it from scratch, the land, the buildings, everything!!! If you had paid attention , you would've noticed Frankie always low balled everyone and made more off each of his sales then Mike did. You're speculations are way off as Mike could've had his brother or his dad on the show from the beginning, but opted to have his friend instead. Frank has always been a whiney lil puke who has shot his mouth off trying to be something he never was. I've seen him get knocked on his butt more than once, that's why a local establishment in LeClaire asked him not to come in there anymore. Mouth was ALWAYS bigger than his butt could back. Mike hasn't responded to any of the the questions of Frankie's departure , Frank has. Mike probably got sore from all of Frank's backstabbing.
Frank also has a problem controlling his bowels, that's gotta put a strain on any friendship that spends so much time in a vehicle and a stain on the upholstery. Apparently they had to remove the passenger seat and burn it when Frank Shitz left the show. His 'back' surgery might have been backside surgery to stop him crapping himself all the time like Brandon
@@harryricochet8134
At one taping of an episode frank smelled so bad it had to stopped 4 x's & when mike called frank "Shitty leg luke" frank took of from the recording & refused to return untill mike give him a formal apology.
Mike never did & the fued started & today we know how it ended.
@@abcdeabcde9992 That's interesting, I know that Frank was under increasing pressure after his mommy died and until he was able to locate a woman with a scat fetish who was happy to wash his perpetually skid-marked undies which are the byproduct of his faecophiliac lifestyle choices and attendant strong preference for sitting happily in the proceeds of his latest brown storm. He certainly seems most dedicated to that 'cause' with some observers even suggesting that he's now actively seeking membership of the alphabet mafia and the addition of an all-brown flag to wave alongside their rainbow banners.
I love this show but it seems Mike's gone all big time and replaced his wife with a girl less than half his age (same old story)
I've only seen the gal with all the tats and I could never tell if her and Mike were a couple he would call her honey when he spoke to her on the phone. Was she his wife. What's this about a new woman I haven't seen her yet. Straighten me out please
First of all everything is scripted on that show. 2nd? Mike Wolfe is the creator of the show who spent a few years trying to sell it to various networks when A&E signed Wolfe's idea for their History Channel. 3rd?? Mike Wolfe is the Executive Producer of the show. His brainchild idea, owner of the show. No one knows what happened behind the scenes of the first 9-10 yrs of the show w/Frank Fritz alcoholism. Just like a failed marriage due to alcoholism or an Employer dealing with an alcoholic employee, you can only take so much. If I owned a successful top watched TV Show that I created and developed, I wouldn't let anyone "Frank Fritz" or anything "alcoholic employee" ruin it. No "friggin" way!
Without Frank , Wolfe is way to annoying and unlikable, his brother is a sorry replacement for Frank. If Frank does get a show , I will for sure be supporting it.
Get well soon Frank !
I can’t pick sides because I loved the whole show It really sucks that Mike and Frank had a falling out because they didn’t just know each other from the show Mike and Frank have known each other for most of their lives It sucks when friendships fall apart anyway but especially when it’s two friends that have known each other for so long and were like brothers💯
Used to love watching American pickers over here in the UK, but it’s just not the same without Frank, I’ve stopped watching it.
It is very annoying driving and having to sit without the radio or something while someone sits talking on the phone. It is disrespectful. It of course will happen at times but doing it constantly is ridiculous.
The two left on the show are just not worth watching on tv. We agree with Fritz!
Mike needs to be fired .
He can be a douche but not enough to turn me off. Its ok.
Lol frank was fired instead 🤣
Mike carries the show

So is this a German TV show? Just noticed all of the names.
I've never understood why people like this show....I honestly don't.
WOW ! ! THIS JUST SHOWS HOW FRIENDSHIPS CAN DISSOLVE. AMERICAN PICKERS IS STILL BETTER VIEWING TELEVISION THAN 80 % OF THE OTHER GARBAGE THAT'S CHURNED OUT. I'M NOT PICKING SIDES - - I LIKE BOTH OF THEM 😊
Frank,,my man,,,only Mike wants to be like Mike,,God speed man
The show is dead to me until Frank is back. He was well more than half of the show that I used to enjoy and will not until Frank is back.!!!
I haven't watched American pickers since no Frank.
Here after the news of frank. So sad. Had a stroke and isn't allowed to take care of him himself anymore. He's got someone to be his guardian now.
Frank and Dave Ort would make great show hosts!
