I agree the TMZ comparison is dead on. A lot of fake recited dialogue among the staff.
Still a pretty good show so far.
The Bobby C segment was awesome.
Seeing Willie bidding on the Alien stuff made me smile
I thought the Jaffa helmet segment was kind of odd. They made a big deal about authenticating the piece, but it came direct from a studio auction (assuming with a nice COA). "It's got to be authenticated or it's worthless".
The whole thing seemed like a trumped up reason to have Christopher Judge out for the show.

I thought the teeth looked strange too but just found this behind the scenes picture on aintitcool.
The Behind the Scenes Pic of the Day - Alien
I think the Alien looks more freaky but like a horror monster with the skull. It's more other worldly how it looks in the film.

I've enjoyed the episodes so far. The best part of the show is... Tracey :love
Caught the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang episode the other night and instantly was 8 years old again. I'm 50 and I still love that film.
It's a great show and I love seeing the props but I agree about the dialog.

It's 5 days to the Auction, come on team let's GO! I enjoy the people they meet more than the cast of the show. Dawn Wells is still a cutie.
I spent the last week in LA and had a chance to talk to a LOT of screen used collectors and invariably, the topic of Hollywood Treasure came up and without fail, it was pretty much dogged by every collector. I guess you can't expect much more when something is repackaged for easy consumption by the masses.
While the show tends to gloss over a lot of things, I actually had the opportunity to stop by Profiles in History on my last day in town and met Brian Chanes and WOW did that really change my perspective on Profiles in general and will also make me look at the show a bit differently. Brian was absolutely awesome, extremely knowledgeable, and seemed very passionate about the pieces Profiles is prepping for their new auction. I would have never gotten that impression from watching him or the rest of the team on the show as the interaction is so scripted and sometimes painful. In person Brian is completely different and was very cool to chat with!

Darn, i wish I would have known you were going to be in town and were going to meet up with other screen-used collectors. It would be nice to meet some local collectors. Meet the competition
I met most of the crew from Hollywood Treasure and i didnt talk to Brian. Jonathan and Marc (the person that authenticated the dracula coat. More of behind the scenes guy) were extremely nice. They were awesome and they really know what they are talking about. Marc is very knowledgeable regarding the history of hollywood and props. However, Joe is a whole different story. He is an interesting person. The type you would love or love to hate.
The dialogue of the show is horrible, but I love seeing the props. If I had a dollar every-time they mentioned trying to get an item in time for the catalogue, I would be a millionaire.

Saw a few episodes of this the other day, loving it so far. Got it set to auto record on the DVR.

What collectors did you speak with? The original prop collectors and non collectors I have spoken with in NY and LA (when I am there), love the show. Most reviews (and the ratings) of the show have been very good.
N.Y. Daily News:
"Hollywood Treasure" will intrigue film junkies and memorabilia collectors."
Hollywood Reporter:
"An inspiring show all around"
MoviePropCollectors.com (Shameless plug
) Which was the first review of the show anywhere."Fast paced, exciting and full of surprises, Hollywood Treasure is original and has something for everyone."
The TV Realist:
"Hollywood Treasure is a great find".
The National Enquirer (which bashes many shows, said):
"Must see T.V."
The show was SyFy's highest rated premier of any of their shows in 6 years, and the ratings for November 10th were higher than the previous week of November 3rd.
I read one weird review from Boston that sounded more like a childish personal attack and less of a "review". Other than that mess, the majority of the reviews have been favorable. Of course not everyone will have the same views. Some people like things, others do not.
The only one really "dogging" the show was a certain competitor of Profiles, that does about 1/10 of the business. Members of that competitors forum posted they liked the show in many (of course not all) of their posts. When the competitor said he did not watch the show, the tone of the posts changed. Not surprising.
Glad you are giving the show a chance. As many shows progress they learn and get better. I think it's an original idea for those people interested in their favorite films, and the cool props, artifacts and stories surrounding then. I also believe it is a good thing for collectors, fans, and the hobby.

lollol Well of course you had the first review and a glowing one too! As a shill for Profiles, it's your job to issue press releases and 'reviews' disguised as news and objective appraisal, isn't it? Or are you still pretending that you have no relationship with them and Joe? Can we see a show of hands from those who believe that? And I find it fairly ironic that you're accusing your 'competitor' of doing the exact same thing you do; i.e. trying to manipulate people's opinions despite your obvious and barely disguised conflict of interest.
