Learn History with Reality Show “Pawn Stars”

The popular History channel show “Pawn Stars," watched around the world, surrounds a popular pawnshop called Gold & Silver Pawn Shop in Las Vegas. “Pawn Stars” airs Mondays on the History Channel, with its development rooted in the history savvy Harrison family. The show surrounds three generations of the Harrison family and their expertise on the credibility of historical artifacts. Moreover, BrownTrout publishes the official Gold & Silver Pawn Shop calendar.

The show started in 2009, and the show’s creator and producer, Rick Harrison, never expected the show to be a huge hit. The show appears in 150 countries, broadcasting in 38 languages, and the show has become one of the most popular reality shows on cable TV. In Gold and Silver Pawn Shop ’s Interview, Rick Harrison explained: “I pitched the show for four years. Everyone kept telling me no one wants to watch a show about four fat guys in a pawn shop."

The biggest appeal of the show is mainly the history lessons throughout each episode, which captivate the audience in a light-hearted manner rather than a monotonous history lesson. “(People) love to get history lessons from their uncle, not a professor," said Harrison. "Young people love to watch the show because I can make all these antiques’ history, all this history, relative to today.”

The show continues to produce intriguing and entertaining episodes for its viewers. “We’re trying to get a lot more history lessons in and things like that. You know, it’s a lot more history lessons, just a lot more stuff,” said Harrison. “We’re sort of back to [the way] we started the show.”

Beyoncé

In this calendar we give you all the glamor and style that is…Beyoncé.

Since first grabbing our attention as one third of Destiny's Child, one of the most popular and best-selling girl-groups of all time, Beyoncé Knowles has gone on to a stellar solo career. Independent, powerful, and beautiful, maybe what's most impressive about Beyoncé, a.k.a. Sasha Fierce, is her sheer talent and ability to move easily among different roles. A singer-songwriter with 17 Grammy awards, dancer, actress, creator of her own fragrance, and now mother, she has shown that she can do it all!

Originally from Houston, Beyoncé (born Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter) got her start at a young age participating in local talent contests, once winning over children twice her age. She continued singing in high school and in local choirs before hooking up with childhood friends to form Girl's Tyme, which would later become Destiny's Child. The group saw their breakout success with their second album, 'The Writing's on the Wall,' with songs like 'Say My Name' receiving major airplay. During a hiatus with the group, she released her first solo album, 'Dangerously in Love,' which sold 11 million copies.

Following the disbanding of Destiny's Child, Knowles expanded into acting, appearing in films like Dreamgirls and The Pink Panther (and who could forget her in Austin Powers: Goldmember?) She married rap-mogul and producer Jay-Z, with whom she know has a little girl named Blue Ivy. Whether it's her entrepreneurial spirit, releasing fashion and perfume lines, or her support of causes such as empowerment of women and non-violence, this beautiful and talented star is here to stay.
