We Now Understand Why Frank Is No Longer On American Pickers

[@gkrstini]

yes, he was part of series, mike is fake

[@DChamp56]

Absolutely!

[@killgorian131]

I never had an issue with either of them, however I think it's obvious that their chemistry was what made the show. They pulled off the appearance of working well together, whether they did or not, and this last season didn't have the appeal of the former ones due to Franks absence. My guess is the ratings will drop off.

[@Cheerfultoday]

After watching this video, I wanted to research further. Since Frank had been off of American Pickers, the show wasn’t the same for me, and I had stopped watching it. Tragically, Frank Fritz passed away on September 30, 2024. He had had a stroke in 2022, and hadn’t completely recovered from it. RIP, dear Frank. Your presence on the show was what made it so enjoyable for so many of us “Picker” fans.

[@patriciadio5023]

When you think you know someone you believe is your friend can really be heart felt when their true colors show. Frank was the most likable person on the show and he will be happy in whatever he decides to do. 😊

[@lizragsdale9284]

It would be a terrible mistake to not have Frank not be on the show. I love Frank and the toy treasures he finds. I think Mike has become a bit stuck up thinking the whole show is about him which is not the truth to me. I want Frank back!!

[@dennisbartenbach]

I saw some show on TV where he was the host of an Indian motorcycle event and he walked out on stage thinking everybody was going to clap for him and everything and the crowd just kind of sat there, (I think one or two of them even booed) now if Frank had been with him, I think it would have been a whole lot different. He is definitely stuck on himself...

Eddie King Exactly...Just Look At Frank. It Got To Franks Head & Now He's No Longer With The History Channel. "He Is History" In Public He Was Plastered 90% Of The Time & Disrespectful To A Large Number Of American Picker Fans. Frank Thought He Was Some Sort Movie Star & Part Of The Elites. That Some Day They'd Make Him Into An Action Figure. That's The Real Reality Frank Thought Of Himself. Frank Never Spoke Of Why He Ripped Of A Number Of His Online Buyer's & Wouldn't Addres The Issues Untill The Court's Got Involved. It's All Right There On The Internet For Anyone That Seeks The Truth About Frank Fritz. Sadly He Destroyed Himself All By Himself.

[@JenIGottaSay]

I went through something similar. Had a major back injury & surgery. My best friend of over 18 yrs didn't call, didn't text, nothing. I reached out to her several times via text while recovering from the surgery (recovery took nearly 1 year) with no response. Finally I asked what I had done wrong & why we weren't friends anymore. She replied with "we're still friends" but I haven't heard one thing from her since & that was 8 yrs ago. Was more hurtful than a boyfriend breakup especially since there was no explanation. Up until my back injury we were like sisters, saw each other every few days, texted daily etc. You learn who your true friends are during crisis.

[@billyjoechambers8494]

I had major back surgery 20 years ago , I could have ended up in a wheelchair. You find out who your real friends and family are. Now years some of the people who weren't there for me or with me then want to re-establish friendships. Too bad for them I've moved on and realised I don't need them even if they are family.

[@JenIGottaSay]

@@billyjoechambers8494 I totally get you, it can be really eye opening when family or friends abandon you at tough times. Sometimes you just have to cut people from your life that bring you down emotionally & even though it's tough it's the best thing for your life. They can't just decide when it's convenient to be a part of your life, if they can't be there for your low points then they shouldn't be allowed to be there at all!

I've noticed a huge change in Mike Wolfe in the last three or four years. He has turned into basically a jerk especially towards Frank and then laughs about it. He brags about it and all that has really rubbed me the wrong way and I've actually stopped watching it regularly. I like Frank a lot and I thought he was the heart of the show and Mike was more the business. Frank also said something to the effect that he was getting phased out so Robbie could step in and I believe that to be true also (the network is saying thats not their plan, be we can see it happening. I dont really care for robbie. He has no heart (compared to frank), hes a kiss up to mike (which clearly feeds mikes ego, with mike often telling robbie how great he (Mike) is, himself, with robbie just nodding in agreement). Now they're labeling themselves as the Wolf brothers on the road... I won't be watching anymore, and it's a shame that turned out this way but with his divorce coming up too, it seems that Mike has changed in several different ways. I'm really happy with Frank's attitude as far as that won't change his life either way, and I would love to see Frank on the road in his own show if he can handle it physically.

On quite a few shows you could see Frank clearly trying to get something valuable for next to nothing and you could also tell in some episodes the persons whose house they were picking kind of realised Frank was trying to mug them off, Mike stepped in quite a few times to regain the person trust and also tell Frank its clearly worth more and Frank would then sort of say - oh yeh I hadnt noticed the signature on the bottom - or - yes true Mike I hadnt realised actually how good condition it was now its in the light - so yeh Frank was very dodgy on some shows, and in the much latter shows Frank almost had bust-ups with people they were picking, which I think Mike clearly noticed.

She has passed some yrs back. But I dream of her talking to me telepathically all the time. So I figure shes still with me until I get to 5D or otherwise. People go their separate ways when they can no longer compromise their ethics or morals. At least in my case. I watched my best friend make the same mistake 3 times & crying 'why these things are always happening to her?' I summed it up for her with common sense answers and basically told her no one to blame but herself. She didnt like that answer & was not willing to change her behavior enough to not make mistake #4.

Always reminded me of the hare and the tortoise. Mike was always in a hurry and Frank was very thoughtful in his approach to purchasing big ticket items, perhaps slower decision maker. Too bad Mike left Frank in the dust. You could sense tension, at times, between the two friends. But, no matter what the truth is....two years without contacting your best friend????

My wife and I used to watch regularly, but I stopped some years back after I found out every pick was staged, locations combed through in advance to find anything of value so that diva Mike could magically uncover treasures without having to spend his valuable time looking.

It will be better without Frank. It was evident more than once that he was taking advantage of people. There were many times I thought "if he ever came here and treated me like he's treating those people I would have to toss his ass to the curb" Mike beat me to it.

[@badgambler-un5ck]

Yes I agree with what youve said. On quite a few shows you could see Frank clearly trying to get something valuable for next to nothing and you could also tell in some episodes the persons whose house they were picking kind of reralise Frank was trying to mug them off, Mike stepped in quite a few times to regain the person trust and also tell Frank its clearly worth more and Frank would then sort of say - oh yeh I hadnt noticed the signature on the bottom - or - yes true Mike I hadnt realised actually how good condition it was now its in the light - so yeh Frank was very dodgy on some shows, and in the much latter shows Frank almost had bust-ups with people they were picking.

[@peterironrope]

The producers of popular shows like the American Pickers will never ever learn. Frank Fritz was the heart and soul of this show when Mike and Frank were on the road. Frank unknowingly brought the positive entertainment to the show without even realizing it. American Pickers without frank is like pouring cereal in a bowl and eating it without the milk!
