This type of show has been using for the last couple of years the same clichés over and over : cutting to commercials when the estimated price of an item is about to be said or when a good find is announced. Well Garage Gold takes it to the limit : the preview and credits take about 1 to 2 min, then with the flashback after each cliffhanger/commercial, it's basically 5 min of the show that is absolutely wasted out of a total of 20. You got to have your hand on the mouse to fast forward all this stuff out when watching it on streaming.
It's also a shame that neither the boss nor the in-house-appraiser seem very interested in antiques at all, only in money. The former knows nothing, while the appraiser mostly searches stuff through his computer and has no background knowledge. They're not greedy, because they seem to care about restoring the garages to what the customers want, but they sure could educate themselves a little about antiques and stuff.
To give you an idea, they definitely don't have the passion the guys at American Pickers show, or even at Auction Hunters. They just care about breaking even. This show should be about items, and the families they meet and their story, but it's not. Add the awful editing, and I'm wondering how it's on its 5th season.
