Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

"American Pickers" keeps its focus on antiques, the art of bargaining, and Americana; it doesn't insert identity politics or forced representation. The hosts' backgrounds and identities are largely irrelevant to the core premise, allowing personality and expertise to shine.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show actually celebrates American history, culture, and entrepreneurial spirit, often highlighting traditional values around family, hard work, and community. There is no evidence of subverting gender roles or mocking cultural traditions.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is little to no ideological content. The show revolves around collecting and commerce, not lecturing on social issues or pushing modern ideological narratives. There's a genuine love for America's varied backgrounds and local color.
