When Mike thought up the idea for American Pickers, he knew that he had a good idea on his hands. So, he made his way to the History Channel and asked them to consider turning his idea into a television show.
What’s so amazing about this is that his show became the first show in the channel’s history to go ahead without a pilot. The executives believed in him so much that they decided to dive straight in and buy 10 episodes right off the bat.
