Is ‘American Pickers’ Hinting At Possible Frank Fritz Return?
Could the History Channel be subtly hinting at the possible return of Frank Fritz to American Pickers or is the network just playing with fans’ emotions to increase social media engagement on their Facebook page?
Keep reading for the details and a breakdown of why some fans think the network could be playing with the idea of bringing Frank back to the show.
Ratings Plummetted As Fans Boycott The Show Without Him
As Tv Shows Ace has previously reported, American Pickers has always been an extremely popular show on the History Channel. The ratings for the show, however, took an intense nosedive when the network made the decision to axe Frank Fritz from the cast. To date, fans of the series still vow that they will not watch new episodes until the network reverses the decision and brings him back as a cast member.
Likewise, there are also many American Pickers who now feel negatively toward Mike Wolfe as he had been friends with Frank for a long time and it appeared as if he essentially dumped him after the network did. Moreover, as far as fans know, Mike reportedly didn’t check in on Frank after he had his stroke either.
I'll only watch American Pickers if it's a rerun with Frank. Carry on.
