Team American Pickers To Film At California In January
Season 23 started with poor ratings after the series shifted to a new time slot.

He captioned the post, “It’s Monday and I called shotgun. The crew working hard bringing all-new American Pickers in January.”
Fans flocked to the comment section as one claimed they needed more American Pickers episodes as a few weeks aren’t enough.
Frank Fritz Is Currently Under Conservatorship
Robbie’s reveal about the show’s status comes after the latest American Pickers episodes suffered staggeringly low ratings. The show that grabbed 5.3 Million viewers back in 2010 when it premiered on History channel has dropped to 804,000 for its March 19, 2022 episode. In August, the show saw a further decrease in viewership after new episodes were moved to the 8 pm slot instead of the usual 9 pm slot.

Several loyal fans also decided to boycott the show after Frank Fritz was dropped and was unlikely to return anytime soon. Currently, the former TV personality is under conservatorship after suffering a stroke in July. Since September 6, 2022, Frank has been living at a rehabilitation center and healing.
