Cajun Pawn Stars is an American reality television series on the History Channel that debuted January 8, 2012, at 10 pm ET. [1] [2] [3] [4]

Contents

The show was the second spin-off of Pawn Stars , but unlike fellow spin-offs American Restoration and Counting Cars , it is entirely unrelated to the venue and staff of Pawn Stars.

Following its fourth and final season in 2013, the show was quietly cancelled due to contract disputes with Leftfield Pictures. [5]

Synopsis

Cajun Pawn Stars revolves around another family-owned pawn shop, the Silver Dollar Pawn & Jewelry Center in Alexandria, Louisiana, which is owned by Jimmie "Big Daddy" DeRamus (died of cancer July 13, 2023), [6] who ran the store along with his wife Peggy and daughter Tammie. [3] The shop claims to have over 100,000 items within its 20,000 square foot showroom. [3]

The show's format is similar to the original Pawn Stars, as it features an array of collectible, antique and unusual items that people sell or pawn, complemented with "pop-up" facts related to the item. Also, as with the original series, the shop sometimes consults an expert to give an appraisal/opinion on the item being sold or pawned. In addition, at the second commercial break, a trivia question is asked in relation to the shop or item, as with Pawn Stars.
