"Frank Fritz, a jocular Everyman who as one half of the duo behind the hit show American Pickers, died on Monday in Davenport, Iowa, at the age of 58."
"American Pickers, which Mr. Fritz hosted with his longtime friend Mike Wolfe, was part of a wave of reality TV shows that mined everyday Americana for stories, profit and drama."
"Unlike older, more sedate shows like public television's Antiques Roadshow, American Pickers blended serious appraisal with rough-edged personality and quirky flair."
"Each episode featured Mr. Fritz and Mr. Wolfe tooling around a small American town in their Sprinter van, trading quips in between visits to local homes and storage sheds."
